    It seems to me that the US keeps trying to link absolutely anything done by Qassam brigades and Hezbollah and others to Iran.

    This is because Iran funds them.

    Iran explicitly wants the destruction of Israel and Israel is a US ally, so it makes sense the US would not appreciate Iran funding terrorists to attack Israel.

    It’s pretty simple, really.

    And by doing so it gives the US an excuse to attack and take control of those countries

    This is just nonsense. The US controls neither Iraq nor Afghanistan so its absurd to suggest they’d want to control Iran or Lebanon.
