Yes, living under constant rocket threat does affect one's perspective. I personally was injured in an Iranian rocket attack on Israel. My children have had their camp counselors kidnapped and murdered. And their teachers. And thier friends. My daughter attended the funeral of a close friend who was murdered in his home, along with his sister and brother and both parents.

I could go on. I know two women whose babies were both burned to death due to Iran. I could tell even worse stories. Suffice it to say that us who actually live under Iranian threat treat the threat seriously. It is not theoretical for us.

You were injured by a rocket counterattack. It's a distinction that reasonable people would give some thought and reflection.
No, Israel did not attack Iran previous to the Iranian attack on Israel. I don't know where you get your news from, but I suspect they are distorting facts to push a narrative.

I suggest reading Arab, Persian, and Israeli sources. Telegram makes this easy with built-in translation - and Hamas has an official Telegram channel.
