Hamas and Palestinian Militant groups attacked Israel.

Hezbollah (*note - different from Hamas), but it is very probable that Iran was involved.
Quote:Lockerbye?
'Lockerbie' is the correct spelling.
Libya were the protagonists there. Gadhafi's Libya was more secular and socialist than overwhelmingly Muslim. Gadhafi implied that he was Muslim, but clearly didn't abide by any of its rules, much like Trumb uses Christianity but is outrageously sinful and unrepentant.
Quote:Encircling Israel on multiple borders with proxies?
Umm, those countries and ethnicities existed right there, before 1947. They didn't willfully try and "surround" Israel.
Many Israelis had historically left the area (definitely in regard to local governance and a Jewish state), in their diaspora that started after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Other tribes and ethnicities expanded and migrated into the area over the nearly 1,800 years between 70 AD and 1947. Many non-Jewish people groups also existed in the area going way back into prehistory. The Jewish "promised land" was not uninhabited when Moses\Joshua 'took it'.
Quote:Argentinian centre attack?
Hezbollah again.
Quote:Supplying, training proxies in Iraq to blow up western forces? Multiple attacks all over the planet targeting various western countries and organisations. Unprovoked???????? Then the Mullahs wanted nukes plus ballistic missiles to carry them? Sorry, they were never going to be allowed that scenario. Unprovoked lol, that's the funniest thing I've heard all day 
You are mixing up events and groups that were not unified (and some were even at war with each other at the time).
Some of the world's terrorism has been state sponsored - through the CIA.
There was that whole Iran-Contra thing during Reagan's Presidency where the USA was
provably a state sponsor of international terrorism and drugs trade.
And who put Saddam Hussein in power? And who funded and armed the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan? And who funded the anti-Castro stuff? And who funded and protected the early Nazi's? And who created fake riots to overthrow the Hawaiian kingdom? And who carried out unprovoked terror attacks against Mexico before invading and taking the states of Texas, California, Nevada as well as parts of present-day Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming?
So, which is the greater state sponsor of international terrorism?
Nor were Iran likely to be able to attack the USA, even if they had nukes, because the USA has more nukes and better delivery systems than any other country, except for Russia.
You see, no country can use nukes if they have them, because of 'mutually assured destruction'.
If one country tries to use them, other countries will defend and respond with them and it will escalate out of control.
This is the reason that nukes haven't been used in warfare (except by the USA), it is a balance of terror and the nuclear armed countries are funding it and doing it.
Countries that go to war, and attack, rather than just being purely defensive, are
primitive and dangerous to the world. War is evil and those that start wars are evil.
