larry johnson gives you some realities that the tv won't and here are some; 

 

One of the frequent claims about Iran is that the Shia are fanatical, suicide bombers. Turns out that is just one more lie. The data on incidents of suicide bombers tells a different story. This is not my opinion… The numbers are from data sources that include the Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST) Database on Suicide Attacks (1982–2019), Combating Terrorism Center reports, Global Terrorism Database (START), and academic studies (e.g., Choi/Piazza 2022). Exact percentages vary by dataset inclusion criteria and time frames, but the Sunni dominance (especially post-1990s) is consistent across sources.

Since 1980, the vast majority of suicide bombings (often termed suicide attacks or suicide terrorism in databases) have been carried out by Sunni Muslim perpetrators or groups, with Shia involvement being significantly lower and largely limited to specific historical periods. Why am I belaboring this issue? Because the United States has a 40-year record of supporting and financing some of this Sunni extremists. The most recent example… Backing the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, who is currently rebranded as Al-Shara and was appointed President of Syria by the West. On more example of the US being a major sponsor of terrorism that is directed against Shias.

Reliable, comprehensive databases tracking suicide attacks (primarily Islamist ones, as they dominate post-1980 trends) show a clear sectarian breakdown...........more.........
