Or do they actually believe Iran is the regressive society the western news shows it to be?

    Most people here have zero knowledge beyond the news (if that). I didn’t know anything about it at all (even that it used to be called Persia for example) until it caught my interest one day and I read up on it.

    Tbf you can’t expect every person to be informed about every country, but that’s also a good reason why people on the other side of the world shouldn’t be meddling.

      I mean, I’d sure as hell wanna know about a country we’d been trying to wage a war for the last 47 years.

        That was part of why I eventually read up on it, but I assure you I’m a tiny minority in that regard. Most Americans see no problem with getting involved even with extremely little knowledge of a country.
