These are just a few examples!
"... Take Iraq. Under Saddam Hussein, more than 50,000 Palestinian refugees lived uneasily but protected in Baghdad. After the 2003 U.S. invasion, Iran-backed Shiite militias unleashed a wave of ethnic cleansing. Palestinian neighborhoods were raided, families abducted, and Sunni clerics assassinated. Human rights groups documented systematic violence. By 2006, the Palestinian presence in Iraq was nearly erased. Iran, which controlled many of these militias, did nothing to stop it.
Or consider Syria, where Iran invested billions to keep Bashar al-Assad in power. From the earliest days of peaceful protests, Tehran deployed Hezbollah fighters and Quds Force commanders to crush dissent. The regime used barrel bombs and chemical weapons, with Iranian support. Millions were displaced. Among them: Palestinian refugees who had lived in Syria for generations.
Iran’s foreign policy is riddled with contradictions. Its constitution declares support for “the just struggles of the oppressed,” but its actions say otherwise. It arms Marxist militias like the PKK in Turkey, not out of solidarity with Kurds, but to undermine a rival Muslim-majority power. ..."
