Great, but that is nit-picking---I'm describing a cultural trait present in Iran which makes certain decisions seem irrational to Westerners.

I’m suggesting by referring to Iran as an Arab country, you have demonstrated you know very little about the Middle East.

Perhaps you may want to address my argument instead of nit-picking on that I used "Arab world" instead of "Middle East"?

No. The other poster already did a fine job about pointing out that Islamic terror groups typically use guerilla warfare which frequently involves fleeing, not wearing a uniform, hiding among civilians, etc.

I would like to hear more about the cultural traits that seem irrational to Westerners.
For what it's worth, I agree with you about Sinwar dying while fighting.
