From mine and plenty of others point view, US morals are on the rise.

Go ask some Iranians (both in the US and in Iran) what they think about their leadership change.

Same with Venezuelans.

There's no inherent contradiction between rotten morals and high morale.
Iranians must indeed be thrilled at having their capital bombed and civilian infrastructure in chaos.

Tehran is not a mudhut backwater, it is an actual city of 15M+ people.

As much they could possibly despise their current leadership, they will likely despise a lot more the country that is throwing bombs in their neighborhood. And rightly so.

They might be, if the losses are really less than from killings of protestors. Hell, it's better to die for something than for nothing.
