I think that's the reason why you have a hard time accepting what I said above. You don't know Iran, you don't know the constitution, you don't know what theocracy means, and most importantly your view of Iran comes from sources that are not Iranian (like the Western media) and you are trying to analyze Iran's behavior based on what the Imperialist Western Colonizers have been doing over the past 250 years.

If Iran wanted to act like them, things would have been very different today. For example Iran could have done what Turkey does, accept US promises, abandon all Resistance groups, get all sanctions removed, have money flood into Iran, get nukes (yes US did promise to give Iran nukes in return for abandoning the Resistance), and even annex neighbor countries like Turkey annexing parts of Iraq and Syria killing Kurds to the point that they use the Iranian flag as the protection umbrella that stops the Turkish bombs.

I get that Iran is very weak when it comes to media and elucidation of policies and I may not be well versed to explain it but as long as you are comparing Iran with colonizers and your source is Western propaganda outlets and Arab mouthpieces owned and controlled by the dictators, you will not understand Iran.
Case in point:
This is Israeli propaganda, the same Israel that said Hamas beheaded children, the same Israel that drops bombs on refugee tents and hospitals calling them "Hamas stronghold".
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon already concluded that Hezbollah had nothing to do with it 4 years ago. Not to mention that assassination has Israel and Saudi dictatorship written all over it. There is enough evidence to support that as well.
