The issue is that you're acting as if the people who were always in favour of the Iranian government wouldn't have cheered anyways, and that people just turned "pro iran" after they bombed Israel, when that is clearly not the case.
You are going to see people who are in favour of the Iranian government cheer on, but that doesn't mean that they are people who weren't in favour of the Iranian regime suddenly turned pro Iranian government.
Hey, I just posted this meme in a minute after seeing insane pro-Iran sentiment after the strikes. I don't monitor people's post histories to see if they're regularly chill with Iran executing gay people and atheists as they try to build a nuclear arsenal, I just suddenly saw the outpouring of support and made a meme.
My observation still being heavily upvoted, downvoted, and wildly discussed days later makes me feel worse tbh, reinforcing the feeling I struck a nerve on something bigger than just a couple clowns.
