>>19971293The leaders dont make any threats to the western world, your media deliberately misrepresents what is said for your own agenda. An example would be an Iranian general says "If USA attacks us we will bomb them" then the headline will be "Iran threatens to bomb USA"
It's comical propaganda. In part thats why Israel is hated, because it is Zionists that keep Iran sanctioned, tried regime change for 40 years, swamped Iran with 10 million refugees from Iraq and Afghanistan. Zionists absolutely destroyed the region with wars for "democracy and freedom".
Jihad is a Sunni thing. Iran is Shiite. Among Shiites, jihad is more of a personal struggle against something, it's not about war.
