TG - rational actors aside, you are "westerpormorphizing" the Iranian state.

I really don't think I am. I've been around the area, and i'm not saying there aren't people there that hate us, or that they don't act against our interests in a lot of cases.

if you have some examples of irrational behavior though, please do share (and not irrational from our point of view). not talk, but actual action.
