They are a theocratic government yes, but I meant the act of imperialism as they're extending their 'authority' into Iraq and striking targets without approval from Iraq.
I don't agree with Iran in the slightest, but this is a retaliatory strike as a counter to Israel's attack in Syria, without permission. It's not out of the blue.
They violated the sovereignty of a state that follows the same branch of religion as them. This is politically motivated, or else they’d have targeted a synagogue instead of alleged espionage agents.
