Largely because they are surrounded by Sunni countries, who in the past of had a bad habit of making war on Iran. Using American supplied weaponry and chemicals of course.

uh, when is the last time you were there?
Not long but will not provide more details here on the net.
Did you check where I live?
the Levant. What of it?
It means I live too close to Iran.
If 900 plus miles is close. Living in a region doesn't, by geographic association, make one an expert in another country's history or culture.
Oh believe me, I surely know them way more than you.
Well, you don't know what I do for a living

And Iran has American weapons and chemicals they were our allies once. So they made war on other nations with American supplied weapons and chemicals as well.

I actually understand WHY some Muslims hate the Jewish (not saying I agree with it because my sibilings are actually Jewish).
I mean the fact is that some of their land was snatched away from them to create the nation of Israel, and the Israeli government treats the Muslims there like garbage from what I've heard.
How would Americans feel if a chunk of their land was taken from them to create a new country for the Muslims and those Muslims decided that they were going to kill or oppress the American Christians already living there and constantly attack the surrounding states to protect this new land, not caring what kind of civilians they killed including children?
I bet they would NOT be happy about that!
The whole thing with Israel is a f*****g mess and nobody wants to acknowledge how wrong it was because they're afraid of being labeled as anti-semitic. Plus we all know that America is tolerant of Islamophobia.

Actually, Islam and Judaism are probably the two most similar religions in the world, Islam descended from an non-Trinitarian Jewish Christian sect...but that's another topic.
Ironically, the Qur'an does acknowledge the right of the Jews to the land of Israel.
Here's something that may shock you a bit: From purely Islamic perspective, Jews are not considered heretics; after all 99% of the Prophets which they believe in (Except Mohammad) are Israelite/Hebrew figures. While Christians are viewed as Polytheists, hence as heretics.

Yeah I get it, they hate each other. Hence all the killing.
