I'm perplexed. What is it exactly that Iran alone has done that makes them so bad?

Bombed Israel. I mean, in an effective and actually dangerous way instead of with hobby-missiles.

So Iran has been bombing Israel since the 1980s? Was Iran bombing Israel before or after any of the sanctions against them were applied?

That aside, are you saying that if one nation launches an assault on a nation that attacked one of their allies, that makes the first nation bad? By your logic, the Iranians must be justified in describing Israel as the bad guys, seeing as they had just attacked an ally of Iran.

Oh I thought you were referring to just the recent rhetoric.

No, Iran threw off an American puppet (installed after a PM tried nationalising the oil business) and then made being anti-American practically part of their constitution. That's why they're so bad.
