> "terror state". I would have hoped that HN users would be smarter than to parrot FOX news propaganda.

Europe also designated them as a terrorist organization, happened right before the war started. It is a terror state, its just left wing propaganda that they aren't. Or is EU also too influenced by foxnews propaganda? Many countries recognizes them as terrorists, including US, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia etc.

Iran is no more or less a "terror state" than the US or Israel. The fact that only Iran gets labeled as such is where the propaganda comes in.

If anything, in the current war, Iran has suffered far more civilian casualties than it has inflicted.
