Ah now, they would. They'd send representatives.

This big-dick-swinging version of foreign policy only serves to promote the interests of the corporate paymasters. And it's another gross reminder of the lack of labor movement.

The working people of the US and Iran have more in common than they're told by their respective oligarchies.

IMHO this type of rhetoric forecloses any meaningful engagement in politics: if you brand a collective as broad as the American (or the Iranian) people a bunch of genocide-loving racists, then where do you go from there? To the self-satisfied knowledge of your superiority and what else?

On the flip side.. where does the rhetoric of "working people in Iran/USA have xyz in common" get us either? Is it bringing us any closer to peace? No, because that kind of sentiment is irrelevant to geopolitics.

Ants from different colonies have a lot in common too yet they still go to war.

It was a joke, libtard. I don't care if I hurt your feelings. This isn't a safe space. Warning, I speak my mind and don't care how it makes you feel. I'm not here to cater to snowflakes. I gotta big truck a lotta guns and one tiny penis. No trigger warnings from me, buddy.

His finger's on the trigger. That's all the warning you get.

TIGGER WARNING!

That's at least mildly redundant.
