Most people, even Libs, are sympathizing with Iran to some degree right now. That's how bad Trump fucked up this war. They just want it to stop, to the point they can't even really see Iran as a big bad. No matter how much the media tries, the people have like "big bad guy" fatigue.
So they are trying to get Iran involved with an already established fight. "Ok we can't get ppl to hate Iran on its own but we are still able to get them to gobble up any pro Ukraine bullshit we spew. So let's get them to attack Ukraine and then we can play the Putin card."
This is the war version of the way they tack on unwanted shit onto other bills to get them into laws. I mean, just look at this post. Normal Iran posts don't get too many immediate comments and I haven't really seen anyone being blatantly anti-Iran in them. But this post? Mentioned Ukraine and a fed warped in immediately. lol
