An incredible coincidence or worse is Russia pushing Iran's Buttons
#12
Turns out that this (sort of) has its roots in the Shia-Sunni conflict... at least to the point where ISIS is taking advantage of the Sunni disaffection with their power (lack of) in the government and gaining their support.

The Shia are more conservative (traditionalist) - favoring the disenfranchisement of women, the hijab and so on and so forth. 

Vox has a very readable article about this if you'd like to know more: https://www.vox.com/2018/11/20/17995846/...tains-isis
