Iran experienced an unbelievably dramatic pendulum swing back and forth in the 20th century.
History is complicated, culture is complicated, societies are complicated. Many of the people of Iran are not perpetrators of evil, but victims of it.
This is why you shouldn't reduce entire nations and peoples to "evil," not least because in doing so you reduce them and separate them from a vague sense of "not evil," which will only inevitably lead to more evil.
Evil is found in every history. It is always present, always waiting, always possible in every corner of the globe. To face and fight evil is not just to face and fight an individual enemy or even a nation, but to stand vigilant at all times against this very same evil finding root in your heart and your home.
