      Ah, so completely immaterial reasons that have nothing to do with the geopolitical actions of entire states. Good to know

        Not really, Iran believes that Israel, as a state, has no right to exist. Nothing to do with their actions.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimacy_of_the_State_of_Israel

        “Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran’s official position has been to not recognize the State of Israel. According to psychologist Rusi Jaspal, Iranian officials and state media often employ pejorative terminology to delegitimize Israel. For example, he says they refer to Israel as the “Zionist regime” and “Occupied Palestine” to imply that it is an oppressive regime rather than a legitimate sovereign state. Jaspal says that such language is not reserved for the state alone, and that Israelis are often labelled “Zionists”. Jaspal further says such rhetoric has been consistent in Iranian media, especially in English-language publications targeting international audiences.[38]”

          I agree

          Consider that Iran believes Israeli doesn’t have a right to exist because of the way it acts and who benefits from its existence.

              Israel’s actions now are consistant with its entire history. Iran simply recognized it for what it was in the beginning. I have read multiple books and taken classes on this exact subject. You are either dangerously ignorant or knowingly defending a genocidal settler colonial state
