Who isn't killing Iranians?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.  Okay. Who is killing Iranians? ISIS and Al Qaeda and similar Groups.

Who is not killing Iranians? Americans, Europeans, Canadians, Australians and most of the world.
Who is allied with Iran? Russia, Assad, and Iraq.

So, you see that de facto right now Iranians, Europeans, Americans, Canadians and Australians and many others all completely agree that ISIS and Al Qaeda must be done away with as soon as possible.

So, I think on one level as far as ISIS and Al Qaeda goes, Russia, Iran, the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia and most of the world is allied with Iran and Russia against ISIS and Al Qaeda.

But, because of oil and tradition the U.S. is also allied with Saudi Arabia and Sunnis in general in the Middle east.

The problem with this is Iran and Hezbollah are fighting proxy wars against most Sunnis now in Yemen, Syria and Iraq and Lebanon.

This has to be one of the most confusing wars for the world public to understand that I have ever heard about or read about.

I think this is one of the reasons U.S. policy is so confused and convoluted. Because the public cannot understand WTF is happening. So, it becomes impossible to elicit public support for a coherent policy.
