that USA should step down from being leader of the western world and pass the baton to Canada, let's those knuckleheads see how hard the job is.
more importantly though, the USA has enemies and that's a fact. and iran is one of those. and their plans of ME domination are well-documented.

I was just turning 18 years old when the Shah of Iran was deposed and the hostages were taken at the U.S. Embassy.
Our govt. had propped up the Shah for decades against the will of the people. And then we gave him refuge when he fled the country.
When all of that happened, I was too young to realize that it was the Govt. in Washington D.C. that CAUSED all of that to happen in the first place by keeping a dictator in power.
Were those people in Iran PISSED at America? Hell yes. And with pretty damn good reason.
Having said that...they brokered a deal with nominee Reagan and released the hostages.
Turned out that despite what we've been told...they were reasonable and able to negotiate. (not like Isis with all the beheadings).
As for "state sponsored terrorism"...does that mean that they arm rebel armies and govt.'s that we don't "Like"?
Maybe so.
So I would guess that using that logic of our govt., WE would be a "state sponsored terrorism" country for arming Israel and other groups that THEY don't "Like".
Just sayin', it's a matter of perspective.
Gen. George Washington was a "terrorist" and a "traitor" to England.
To us, he's a hero and a patriot.
