    Mostly yes. Iraq has a democratically elected Shia government. But Iraq has very good reasons to hate Iran too.

    For the others, it seems to be Iran’s stirring up of Shia rebellions inside their territory and how easily they will unilaterally decide to shoot at ships when they need their population to hate the US more than their own government.

      A great point, Iraq specifically has very good reasons to hate Iran. Combined with their shit stirring within their neighbors borders, and poking the US which of course just invites American military equipment to hang around the area, they are a pretty not great country to have as a neighbor.
