The reason I'm setting out a crash course for myself on Iranian history & culture is that I feel the only way I can *actually* sympathize with the Iranian people is if I know who they are & know enough about their government to make distinctions.
We don't see much out of Iran, because that's how the government likes it. Our government attacked them & the only image of Iran we have to work with is an exterior one. We paste our sympathy for a people onto the only representative we have for it.
