4. I never read much about the interventions themselves.

Hillary's unlikeable, lock her up. Mostly amplifying the Repubs, Russia's, China's, and Sanders' noise.

Iran isn't saying why. But the U.S. has long been committed to containing Iran's religious imperialist ambitions and has been so successful that Iran, a prosperous and militarily advanced nation, has long had to resort to secretive "asymmetrical" actions, namely promoting terrorist acts, and had to become a partner in its own denuclearization.

So my best assumption is the obvious one, that Iran chose for destruction, or at least disordering, of the planet's stabilizer superpower over continuation of containment under HRC. Just like Russia.

In any case, Iran DID intervene in the election against Democrats and for Trump. That we know. And now Iran's leadership is plotting how to turn the successfully disordered U.S.'s renegade action to their global military and religious benefit.

Reportedly they're now claiming to take the "high road" against the evil U.S. by only striking our military. Even as terrorist acts begin elsewhere.
