Iran has a thousands year old history that predates the west by centuries. Persia originally went through an Arab conquest back in the 7th century and was gradually converted to Islam. Eventually Arab rule ended and the Persian dynasties took over. Then over a thousand years later the Iran revolution happened, transforming it into the Islamic Republic that it is today.
Lebanon went through a long civil war period in the 1970’s/1980’s, with initial instability actually caused by various Palestinian factions, coupled with Christian and Muslim militias.
The Houthis in Yemen are a direct result of the continued efforts of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s efforts to expand their Axis of terror and create additional proxies in the region.
Almost none of this has anything remotely to do with the west being the leading driver of instability, especially over the last 80 years.
In fact, if you want to bring Israel into the mix, look at which countries started all the wars that Israel eventually won.
Arab colonization has led to almost all of the instability in the region over the last thousands of years. Look at a map of North Africa pre and post Arab colonization. Sitting back and blaming all the regions woes on the west, is some sort of self suicidal guilt trip that is not based in reality.

Yeah dude, it’s totally weird to look at yourself in the mirror when trying to figure out why things are going the way they are. It’s always everyone else, so just don’t even worry about it or discuss it. Blissful ignorance is the way to be.
