Iran has consistently been politically, diplomatically, economically and morally opposed to the Zionist entity since before I was born.

Yes. Which is the very reason that they are getting critical support from many people right now.

I wish westerners had a shred of the empathy and everything after this point in your comment

Who are you addressing here? It seems like this isn't aimed at me, but rather people who support LGBT but then are upset about other people cheering on Iran?

Would be imprisoned and/or mutilated in Iran for gay. Still wouldn't want me and my family to be killed by Israeli bombs. If you support Israel, you are not an ally.

I'm a cishet male but consider myself an LGBTQ ally. I have been quite vocally opposed to Israel for a while now. I apologize if any of my comments here seemed to imply otherwise.

Critical support doesn't equate cheering out of spite.

And yes, I'm addressing you, who finds it inconceivable the fact that someone will support, critically or otherwise, the "scary brown people country" that the US designated a terrorist state.

And yes, I’m addressing you

No you're not. You are making some wild assumptions and going out of your way to twist what I am saying to build up a strawman. This strawman is what you are addressing.

Anyhow, we're done here. You're clearly just looking to pick a fight.
