It's Iran just the default country to blame when something bad happens?

Trump gave Israeli national defense secrets to Russia, which would love US attention partially diverted from Ukraine, and who happens to be a close ally of Iran (Iran is supplying Russia with weaponry)

Iran is one of the main sponsors of Hamas. Iran has also been under US sanctions of varying degrees for about 45 years, so it would be happy should the US lose face or power.

I'm not saying Iran is responsible, but they were likely middlemen.

Them, Russia, Cuba. Used to be Venezuela, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, but our jackals already messed them up, so no need, now.
