Iran is definitely not the innocent recepient of mis-placed distrust in that part of the world, they earned that fair and square.

Lebanon, Hezbollah, Libya, etc....Iran has a long track record of helping foment as much unrest as they can, pitting Sunni against Shi'a, and seeking to use it to their political advantage...except they are failing badly at it.
