First of all, it has never been proven, the investigation was a total mess with different parties pushing their interest and desirable outcome.
And even if Iran had been behind it, it would only show what I said all the time, namely that the Middle East conflict is the reason for terrorism, even if af first glance there is no connection.

Look, nobody says Iran is a saint, far from it. What I am saying is that there is a reason they are the way they are, and that the West is largely to blame for it. So it is absurd when we keep yelling terrorists when we are at least partly responsible for that situation.

I say good for them. One way to solve global warming is to wipe out countries off the earth.

Iran is probably a minor contributor to climate warming

There is much corruption in the case I agree, but you are a little late to the party.

In leaked tape, ex-Argentine FM says Iran bombed Jewish center | The Times of Israel

There is no question Iran was behind the Jewish attacks. Actually, this is no longer even a discussion. The issue is that the Argentine government has not cooperated in the interests of justice against the Iranians. One cannot blame western imperialism for all of the worlds problems. There is no coorilation between the Jews in Argetine and Iranian policy. But please, refresh my memory. Why does Iran have the right to kill innocent civilians worldwide?

Where did I say I supported that? I am against hurting innocent people, but that applies not only to Jews in Argentina, but also to tens of millions of Iranians, who are not the Iranian government.

I don't blame Western imperialism for all of the world's problems, but for most of them, like 90% or so.

The blaming Western imperialism etc. for "90% of the world's problems"...Then you're not really a reliable character witness - off the jury!
That's just the silly concreted non-nuanced PC position. Its as mindless and empty of analysis as the received wisdom of the equally unthinking right wing. Even a passing knowledge of pre-colonial and pre-modern era history of virtually any area in the world would disabuse an unbiased observer of that silly notion. Its just a badge of pride for the unthinking left. The unthinking right have their silly badges too of course.






With particular reference to Iran:
Persians, as a group, know the that Iran's mess of itself was a huge own goal - and the majority who aided the revolution in '79 (not those who ascended in power and $ because of it, of course) have buyer's remorse. Their children are certainly unhappy at the rotten bargain they got. Regardless of the plotting and intrigue from the "West", putting a self-declared hard line theist at the top required actual majority population support and passive complicity from the remainder. The frying pan and the fire weren't the only two options.

I still blame Iran for the takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran.

Looks like Israel doesn't have much to worry about after all.
Iran hasn't attacked anyone in over 200 years.
