Why does everyone hate Iran?

[stupidgirlllll123]

I want to know what Iran did that made everyone turn against it. My family was born in Iran and I went to Iran once, and I got to meet my whole family for the first time, so this means a lot to me, Iran is my home. When I ask my parents, they won't tell me, and when I try to google it, I can't find anything. I'm starting to think about telling people I'm just "Middle-Eastern" if they ask me where I'm from, so they won't hate me. So, can you guys tell me why Iran and Iranians are hated?

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

I got thrown out of my history class in 10th grade, but the history chair actually liked me and knew I had potential. It happened to be during her work period so, I got a personal tutor... 😅

She said I could pick any topic I wanted, spend the time researching it, and she wanted a college level report on it for a final grade.

I wish I still had the paper, I'd send it to you. But the short answer is it's extremely complicated. I deeply regreted choosing us and Iranian relations.

It all started back in the 70's and 80's, but most people would say the hostage crisis was what really staked us firmly against each other. Google "Iranian hostage crisis" if you want to start down the wormhole, but basically the Iranians trapped a bunch of US journalists in Iran and held them hostage for over a year, which was a huge embarrassment to the US and quite possibly lost Jimmy Carter the White House.

Since then, it's been like mean girls between our two governments. They do anything they can to hurt the other and it just escalates over time. Luckily, (or unluckily) both countries are facing so many other problems right now that it hasn't been a frontburner issue for a long time.

I've always had a certain understanding for the Iranians point of view. Our government likes to complain about their ties to Russia and China and their support for our other enemies in the middle east, but we don't give them a lot of other options. Iran is a much smaller country than the USA, but they don't like to be bullied anymore than anyone else. How could they not side with our enemies? That said, they don't really try to get along with us or de-escalate the tensions any more than we do.

Basically, it's like mean girls. It started with just having some differences, then there were some small disagreements, then it just kept going back and forth with both sides doing anything they could to hurt or embarrass the other.

So now, there is almost no chance of being Allies, and there is a lot of anger and resentment on both sides.

[stupidgirlllll123]

Wow, that’s intense

[Miristheiss]

I don't hate most of the people.
I don't care for the country though.
Why? I'm from the USA. They stormed our American embassy in 1979 or 80 and took roughly 60 U. S. hostages and held them for 444 days. That's an act of war to me.

They are considered the biggest state sponsor of terrorism and funds Hamas and it is behind the killing of Americans in Iraq.

Their leasers have said they want Israel wiped off the map.

I consider Iran a hostile nation. I'm sure they think the same of the USA. I don't disliked the people. I know they are oppressed and the government often rounds up and executes those it deems to be a threat. I know many in Iran want change there.

[Little_Princesa]

Majority of Iranians actually like/are neutral about America. Pre-COVID days when we actually used to go to classes, our huge university of 8000 students had done the stupid move of drawing an American flag in front of the gate so we would step on it as we enter, and I did notice that most students would just choose to enter from the very side so they wouldn't step on it.

[SpiderManFan2002]

I’m not exactly knowledgeable about the political situation in Iran, but politics will be a huge part of it, not to mention the government itself has done bad things so that also plays a role in it I guess.


But one thing I will tell you, is do not be ashamed of who you are. Persian people are awesome and you have such a beautiful culture, and another reason why people hate Iranians is because they (people who hate Iranians) are so uneducated that they can’t differentiate between a government and individuals. They’re ignorant. Don’t let them make you hide who you are, you’re Persian and be happy about it. I know it’s difficult when you receive hatred for it, but once you learn to rise above it things become easier. :)

[CMC93]

I like the country. I haven't met anyone that has talked badly about Iran here in North America.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

Where do you live?

Is there a second north America I haven't heard about?

[CMC93]

@Lost_in_the_Woods I live in North America! Haha, not that I'm aware of.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

🙄

Where in North America?

[AlexanderAnttila]

You don't have to call yourself a stupid girl for that. I'd rather say painfully ill informed.
I would assume that their Islamic dictatorship whose Ayatollah daily spews out hatred against the West, Jews and Christendom, secret nuclear programs, sponsoring of terrorism, their vast network of global terroist activity, the Quds who have been repsonsible for several attacks and assassination attempts for decades and who owns drug plantations in Bolivia, genocidal hostility against Israel the only democracy of the Middle East are a few things that has rubbed people the wrong way.

[Vietnemin]

I don't see Israel as the only democracy in the middle east they're all about equal. I also don't know why you support Israel and Jews since they're not exactly European and I see no reason why Swedes would side with one over the other.

[AlexanderAnttila]

@Vietnemin You're obviously not educated on the subject.

[Andres77]

Iran and the US used to be allies, going back to world war 2. We were friends.
In 1979 the Islamic revolution took place in Iran and then the official position of the new Iranian Islamic government was "death to Israel and death to the USA."

I don't hate Iranian people. Just like I don't hate the Chinese people. But the Iranian government and the Chinese communist government want me and my family dead.

It's not the Iranian people that are the problem. It's a hostile terrorist sponsoring Iranian government that is the problem.

As you listen and communicate with people ask them specifically if they dislike all Iranians or just the current hostile government of Iran.

Is that fair?

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

I don't think they want us dead. I think think they want to live in peace but we keep building bombs and rockets, using them on their friends and supplying them to their enemies.

Iran has nothing to gain from conflict with the United States.

They just want us to stop dropping bombs on them and their neighbors.

[Vietnemin]

It’s ironic how Americans think Iran is hostile and yet it was Trump who drone strike their general out of the nowhere and not the other way around. Americans are truly self oblivious hypocrites. There is no one more belligerent than western governments. I’ll take my own wisdom over your buffoonery any day.

[Andres77]

@Vietnemin touchy, are we?

[tartaarsaus]

Iran generally has a history of being hostile to quite a few nations, such as the USA, Israel and various Western nations. Moreover, they have also been accused of sponsoring suicide bombing against civilians other countries (such as in Argentina), have a proven history of financing terrorist organizations (such as Hamas, Hezbollah and more), they are very strong supporters of Assad in his civil war. And the most recent thi g is that they were accused of trying to kidnap a Iranian-American journalist back to Iran.


The irony is that right before 1979, they were quite strong allies with the West, but everything changed in 1979

[tartaarsaus]

That said, my best assumption is prejudice against Iranians because of the nation itself. It can entirely be that Iranians have a poor reputation without the nation in some places, but I don’t know

[stupidgirlllll123]

oh, okay. Thanks, I needed to know that.

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@tartaarsaus When we look at it, Europe and America also support the PKK, YPG and Peshmerga, and everyone knows that they are terrorist organizations.

[tartaarsaus]

I should add that these terrorist organizaions are recognized as such by these Western nations. It is always a matter of persoective in these things

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@tartaarsaus If it's considered terrorism, why do you support it? America says ypg is partner.

[Vietnemin]

@Mia-Wallace why you upvote this biased garbage you must be an Aryan supporter or something I imagine? What’s ironic is that Iranians are the original Aryans!

[tartaarsaus]

@Vietnemin

Lmfao

[rcljr]

I don’t think the Iranian Revolutionary guard could even find Argentina on a map, let alone fly jets there to bomb it. Not only that, Argentina is too far away, the Iranians have to be home every night at sunset to beat their wives for showing their ankles.

[tartaarsaus]

@rcljr

Eh, you can easily get suicide bombers into a nation by putting them on commercial planes. So none of what you say is even marginally relevant

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

@stupidgirlllll123

The only true thing in these comments is that the only reason people are perdjuice against Iranians is because of the issues between our two governments.

The rest is a load of crap. I'd like to apologise for these guys not being decent.

I've never met an Iranian person I didn't like. And the girls are absolutely gorgeous.

[msc545]

The US is responsible for the hatred toward Iran. The US government believes that no country except the US (and countries it approves of) should have nuclear weapons, and Iran doesn't agree. The US has done everything it can via constant propaganda to persuade others that the Iranians are terrorists, which they are NOT. Given the disgusting record of the US in terms of intervening in the politics of many countries and destroying their governments and replacing them with puppets of the US, Iran is right to develop nuclear weapons, since the only countries that the US won't harass are the ones with nuclear weapons.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

And if you look into it, Iran wasn't heart set on having nukes until we decided to make things hard on them in the first place.

It's like if your crazy gun toting neighbor constantly stepped on your flowers,
So you stole his newspapers and refused to give them back,
So he started throwing rocks through your windows,
So you went out to try to buy a gun to defend yourself just in case...

And he showed up to say "no way, this guy is a Maniac" we can let him have a gun, why would he even need a gun in thr first place, he'd probably shoot me with it.

And you're just like yeah, I want it to defend myself from my psycotic neighbor who has a whole room full of guns and keeps throwing rocks at my house.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

I think nukes are bad. There is no good that can come of using them at this point. (if there ever was)

But if I were Iran I'd definitely want one and feel like I had the right to have one.

[Vietnemin]

I also wonder why myself. Iranian culture is spiritual and historical Shia and open minded. Only Americans and their propaganda have made Iran evil. If American media says someone is evil then they’re evil. No attention is given to the other side of things. Americans are brainwashed.

I’m Chinese and like Iran I think they’re the most open minded middle eastern country.

[tartaarsaus]

Oh, yeah, the country forcing women to wear a hijab, where gays are frequently murdered and with an internal military force to force the ideology of the Islamic Revolution is very open-minded

[Vietnemin]

@tartaarsaus hijab is still better to head to toe niqab that Saudis wear and yet America shakes their hand openly. Hypocrites much?

[tartaarsaus]

@Vietnemin

Eh, just because the USA doesn’t give a crap about those policies in the KSA does not in any shape or form provide any support for the argument that Iran is the most open minded there.

Should I remind you that there are also countries in the Middle East where no such religious garments are obligatory?

[Vietnemin]

Which countries are those?

[tartaarsaus]

Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Qatar, Bahrain, Lebanon, Turkey, Oman and Cyprus

[Vietnemin]

@tartaarsaus half those countries are that way because of traditional Iranian influence. Even in Iran hijab is not traditional but forced into them by politics. As for Israel you guys force everyone to take military training and in my personal experience many of you are rude asholes so I don’t count that country as a symbol of open mindedness. Even if we accept clothing standards in Iran the female education rate in Iran is very high as well compared to other middle eastern countries. Of course I’ll accept it’s not the most open minded middle eastern country but it’s more open minded and humane than Israel or Saudi Arabia at least in my opinion.

[tartaarsaus]

@Vietnemin

Lol so now you’re backtracking on your original point that they are the most open minded.

And if we’re talking about Israel, there is military conscription because it is literally essential to it surviving as a nation. That’s very different from forcing clothing because of close-minded reasons.

[tartaarsaus]

And I mean, if the politics forces the hijab, that sort of immediately implies it is not open minded

[Vietnemin]

@tartaarsaus well it is the most open minded if we look at a historical perspective rather than just modern day turmoil. All the open mindedness in the region originally came from Iran. Since the time of Cyrus in 600 BC they’ve preached freedom of religion and humane rule. So my original point is correct if we consider across all time. Anyways I don’t want to argue just for the r sake of arguing so I’m about done thanks

[Mynameisbobby]

My uncle told me something about the hostages that they took from the American embassy in 1979. I don't hate Iranians though it's the government that does these things not the people.

[stupidgirlllll123]

Yeah, I wish the government was better

[Vietnemin]

Right but then again Americans don't put hundreds of mexicans in cages every year at the border. It's only other countries that practice inhumane treatment.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

If you can't find history on iran / USA historical relations, I suggest you try again and search for what I just said. There's no way you cannot google this information.

[Celtero]

Iran is very power hunger and they often sponsor terrorism in other countries while oppressing their own people.

So that isn't to say people hate Iranians, they hate the government.

[Vietnemin]

That sounds like America not Iran.

[Celtero]

@Vietnemin You're right. I suppose the difference is the US also does a lot of great things to balance out the bad ones.

[Anonymous]

I see you're only 14. So do a search on something called "The Islamic Revolution". That's a good place to start.
And hate is a strong word. Iran really doesn't rank high enough to elicit that emotion from us. Think of Iran as a backwater that misbehaved a lot. Has to be put in a corner till they can behave.

[The-Wise-Phoenix]

Read about the Iranian hostage Crisis of 1979.
That is why many Americans are not fond of Iran.
Yeah we are still upset about that 42 years later.

See the movie Argo for more perspective.

[rcljr]

It wasn’t the Iranian people that did that, it was government. The American people didn’t nuke Japan, our government did.

[stupidgirlllll123]

@rcljr yeah, I read about it

[The-Wise-Phoenix]

@rcljr
No!
It most certainly was the Iranian people who did that! I may have only been 9 years old when that happened but I remember seeing the news reports every night on the 6 o clock news. I remember seeing the Iranian people in the streets chanting pumping theirs fists in the air and burning the American flag. The people of that country were fully supporting the Ayatollah Khomeini who was clearly a radical muslim.
It was ordinary Iranian people who raided the US embassy and took hostages.
So don't give me any of this rubbish that the people weren't involved.🤨

[The-Wise-Phoenix]

@rcljr Yeah and about Nuking Japan.
The imperial Japanese were ever bit as bad as ISIS. They were guilty of crimes against humanity that would make Vald the Impaler pee his pants.
See the movie "Men behind The Sun."
If any country deserved to get nuked it was Imperial Japan.

[rcljr]

I don’t disagree at all, I think 5 or 6 more should have been dropped on the Empire of The Sun. What I’m saying it wasn’t Jose Martinez the toy maker or John Smith the farmer that dropped the nukes, it was our Government.

[stupidgirlllll123]

I didn’t say the people weren’t involved. I was trying to reply to your first comment.

[The-Wise-Phoenix]

I was responding to rcljr not you.

[stupidgirlllll123]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh okay. Sorry

[rcljr]

I don’t need to read about it, I watched it on the news while it was happening.

[MarkRet]

I don't hate Iran or Iranians, but I don't like their government, and I don't like Islam.

[Vietnemin]

There are worse Muslim countries to hate like Saudi Arabia

[MarkRet]

@Vietnemin - True, but the Quran still tells Muslims to convert or kill ‘infidels’.

[andreasderjuengere]

When you look closely, you will notice that people tend to feel more hate the less they are informed (or educated).

[888theGreat]

liberal speak , of you don't agree with me you are stupid because I have useless liberal arts degree

[andreasderjuengere]

@888theGreat... you are right. I forgot:
stereotyping, categorizing and simplifying as other factors to be considered :)

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

☝️
That was a good one.

[nolabels]

The question, to me, is not, "Why does everyone hate Iran"?
The question is, "Why does Iran hate us"?

[stupidgirlllll123]

But a lot of people do hate Iran. My mom told me a few days ago that whenever Trump was president, all he wanted to do was destroy Iran.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

I don't think Trump wants to destroy Iran.

But, he did definetly make the situation a lot worse by antagonizing them further and killing their military leaders with air strikes and drones.

Trump is afraid of Iran, and he thinks violence is the answer to everything. I don't agree with his actions, but I think he is truly just trying to protect the USA.

Unfortunately, he doesn't understand that dropping bombs on people usually encourages them to retaliate more than anything.

It's bad politics. It's not that he hates the citizens. The news just makes everything out to be as dramatic as possible.

[Andres77]

@stupidgirlllll123
I respectfully disagree with your mom on that one.
The current regime in Iran wants to build nuclear weapons. Trump wasn't going to allow that.
His efforts were to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

[Vietnemin]

This 63 year old is an idiot just ignore him

[Andres77]

@Vietnemin
I'd take 63 years of wisdom over a 31 yr old puppet of tyranny any day.

[nolabels]

@Andres77
Lol.
Vietnemin's wittle feewings got hurt because I called him out on getting the last word in on someone else on another question, then he said he's done, and even thanked the guy, then bugged out.
It was comical to the point that I made a remark about it to the guy he snubbed.
Now, Vietnemin is jabbing at me.
Lol again.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

Guys, can you stop trying to one up eachother and remember we are here to help this girl.

Start your own question if you just want to argue with eachother.

[nolabels]

@Lost_in_the_Woods
I agree.

[Vietnemin]

@Andres77 @nolabels is a waste of life arguing with 14 years olds on line he has no wisdom and neither do you. All you have is brainwashing from western media.

[Vietnemin]

@nolabels I said I don’t want to argue for the sake of arguing whether it was tartaarsaas choice to keep arguing with me is up to him. We all already have our minds made up on Iran and the Middle East and it was pointless to keep butting heads and wasting energy. The fact that you as a 63 year old doesn’t understand this means that you have absolutely no wisdom at all and are a waste of life. @Andres77 you as well

[Andres77]

@Vietnemin
Not brainwashed... I watched this my whole life growing up.
Sorry that your so shortsighted.

[stupidgirlllll123]

Ok guys don’t take it personally. I don’t care if you all think or say different stuff about the topic, but just don’t argue about it. I get it, some people like proving their point, but arguing is going to make all of us angry.

[rcljr]

Nobody hates Iran or the Iranian people, everyone hates the ayatollahs, and their stupid sexist religious cult.

[OddBeMe]

We hate their radical, religious govt. I also hate Israel’s radical, religious govt. But I don’t hate Persians or Jews.

[Anonymous]

Because the US likes to go to war with middle Eastern countries so it can have a proxy war against Russia and also take their oil and disrupt their political systems.

They gotta justify the war somehow.

[Sweepthelegjonny]

Because G. I. Joe taught us to. 80s cartoons were vicious!

[SmokinAces2000]

Because the far right loves shoving propaganda about Islamic countries down people’s throats

[Sam_The_Savage]

Bkoz Iran is powerful without helping of USA. So it's obvious you know.

[Anonymous]

because they hate the fucking jew bastards in america and won't tolerate their shit. and they hate feminazis and won't put up with women's bullshit or any of their crap. anything the psycho liberals and sjw's love iran hates

[NorthwestRider]

Their conservative backwards outdated religious laws

[Grubhub]

Same reason why the women from your culture love the white man better than their own kind. C000ns

[Grubhub]

A white man thumbed me down

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

Because they harbored the 9/11 terrorists

[SmokinAces2000]

There is no “they” so anyone from that country should be disrespected because of something some other people did

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

They harbored terrorists. They did something wrong

[SmokinAces2000]

So everybody in the country is too blame

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

Of course

[SmokinAces2000]

So I guess everybody in America is too blame for slavery, same logic

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

We're all descendants of our forefathers after all

[SmokinAces2000]

Well your forefathers

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

all of ours. they literally built this country

[SmokinAces2000]

No my ancestors built this country 😂

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

yeah, our forefathers built this country

[SmokinAces2000]

No my slave ancestors built this country

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

who were of course owned by our forefathers. they were responsible for it all

[SmokinAces2000]

No whipping and killing people doesn’t do shit slaves did all this on their own. Technically parents own their children but if my child accomplishes something i wouldn’t take credit for that smh 🙄

[stupidgirlllll123]

@SmokinAces2000 guys you can believe whatever you want to but just don’t argue here. It’ll just make things worse.

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

Arguing?

This is an opinion site. ITS GOING TO HAPPEN

[JesseJayNeak]

It's not the country per sé but the government

[stupidgirlllll123]

I agree

[Vietnemin]

Very ignorant and unthinking reason.

[kevyhanma]

EVERYWHERE ‼️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[anylolone]

We don't hate iran, just it's government.

[Vietnemin]

Why though? Their government is doing nothing against Brazil

[anylolone]

@Vietnemin And? The nazis weren't doing anything against brazil, still, most brazilians hated them.

[ManHater]

It's the government you silly girl.

[Vietnemin]

Very ignorant and unthinking reason.

You're the one who is silly

[ManHater]

@Vietnemin haha comming from a gook. Your government is still fucked up.

[TurkishDİxon3419]

I am a Muslim Turk, historically I hate Iran.

[stupidgirlllll123]

Can you tell me what Iran did?

[TurkishDİxon3419]

Iran has always fought the Muslims and weakened them. While the Ottomans were fighting with Europe, Iran shot them in the back. Nadir Shah was also killed by the Iranians.

[stupidgirlllll123]

wow, I always thought Iran was full of muslims

[TurkishDİxon3419]

Some Iranians are hypocrites who look Muslim. They just kill Muslims. Shall I send you videos of how Iranian-backed Assad soldiers persecute their people for not saying 'God Assad'?

[stupidgirlllll123]

yes please

The reason these people are beaten is that they say Assad is not my God.

[stupidgirlllll123]

Which ones are the Iranians

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@stupidgirlllll123 These are Assad soldiers. Raised by Iranian soldiers. Soldiers who do not do this are also beaten.

[stupidgirlllll123]

Oh my gosh. That’s scary.

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@stupidgirlllll123 I don't have a problem with the current Iranian people, but I don't like the State.

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@stupidgirlllll123 But Iran's girls are very beautiful and there are wonderful woven rugs. 40 million Turks live in Iran

[stupidgirlllll123]

yeah, the government is just too messed up.

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@stupidgirlllll123 By the way, your age is too young, if you wrote your age correctly, this place is not suitable for you.

[Vietnemin]

Iranians are Shia while most Muslims are Sunni.

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@Vietnemin Yes, here is the problem. Iranians hate Sunnis and cooperate with infidels. They stabbed the Ottoman state in the back. I have never seen Iran at war with any western state. They fought only Muslims.

[Vietnemin]

Yes it’s ironic then that westerners hate Iran so much. Westerners are hypocrites and brainwashed

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@Vietnemin For some reason, Iran is not at war with Israel, they are just making a verbal war. Westerners do not deal with Shiites at all. Sometimes they have conflicts. The main goal is to destroy the Sunnis, they do it in Syria.

[45Fstraight]

Iran funds Hamaas. When Iran finally makes a nuclear weapon, guess where the first one will be pointed.

[rcljr]

Iran is a Muslim nation, but it has different types of Muslims, just as America has different kinds of Christians. It’s all based on your beliefs, nobody is right and nobody is wrong , it your belief.

[45Fstraight]

@rcljr please tell that to Iran

[TurkishDİxon3419]

@45Fstraight Hamas is not a terrorist organization. An army that defends its people. The real terrorist is Israel.

[45Fstraight]

Defends itself. Sure.

[888theGreat]

they fund all the terrorism in the world

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

Iran barely pays their own bills. They don't have that kind of money.

We fund the Ethiopian government and helped their president get a Noble Peace Prize. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Nobody in the world funds more terrorism than the United States of America.

Why do you think those guys attacked the world trade center in the first place? They were trying to hurt our economy so we couldn't afford to keep bombing them.

(Sadly they didn't realize that would only make things worse for them)

[888theGreat]

@Lost_in_the_Woods You are just lost. Believing media is your problem

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

What news station do you think runs stories about our funding terrorism and ethnic cleansing in Ethiopia?

I would love to check them out.

I saw a bit about it on Sky News Australia but they didn't mention the US. Just the ethnic cleansing and the peace prize.

But I pretty much stopped watching sky when I hear them go off on Palestine and say israel was just defending themselves by blowing up aljazeera's offices.

You know you're a puppet when you jump right to "YOU JUST BELIEVE THE FAKE NEWS" on an issue that literally nobody even covers.

Someone has you brainwashed bro.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

I actually did a semester long research project and a college level report on US and Iranian relations when I was 14 years old in 10th grade.
