I'll put on my cynical hat, and assume Iran isn't a perfect humanitarian state.
They are fighting a different war, they know if the US gets the slightest amount of public support it'll be Iraq/Afghanistan all over again, while the US is bombing Iran, Iran is fighting the propaganda war, and they are doing amazing.
From the lego videos, to only hitting targets the US public don't care/can't complain. Like military bases, Amazon Data centers...
They only have to fight until next election cycle. And this extremely unpopular offensive will be over. and they might even get a friendlier US administration.
Trump is 100% losing this war.
That's what America does
Chuck and Hakeem criticisms of the war is that it is not being run competently enough, when Trump had a stopped-clock-moment and signed the first peace deal, they and the rest of BlueMaga were saying TACO Trump.
I have no faith a Gavin Newsom presidency stops the war.
Americans may believe that Democrats will end the war, but I assure you Iranians are under no such delusions. This is not Trump's war or Netanyahu's war, it is the Pentagon's war. Failure to realize this is cope.
Totes, Trump is nothing more then a good puppet.
Iran is not perfect, but they do have very strong convictions and their own conception of what it means to be a humanitarian state.
Iran never developed or used chemical weapons against Iraq, even when Iraq used it against them. Producing chemical weapons is easy and Iran could have easily done it hade they wanted to.
In the same vein, Iran could have had nuclear weapons had they not decided to ban weapons of mass destruction.
Throwing Kurdish youth activists out of windows is a pretty broad definition of not perfect humanitarianism.
Source?
PJAK statements some 5 yrs back in this particular case, but Kurdish activists are killed there pretty much monthly.
Winning might not even be the point...
As always, the point is enriching the wealthy. How they do that is any way possible.
There also aren't too many US schools in the area, but a lot of military bases.
