Friedman either says “everything is rational so the reason is X” or, when there are events he fails to explain he only describes them. This last year the show became a set of trivial statements about what happens. Very sad.
We may not believe it, but the Iranian Theocracy believes that they have been at war with the US and Israel since 1979.
Iran & their proxies have killed & wounded thousands of Americans, allied & Israeli troops and civilians. From the suicide bombing of the US Marine Corps & French Army barracks in Beirut, providing shaped charge IED to Iraqi Shia militants, through today.

Time to retire, Mr Friedman. The world has outgrown your ways of thinking.
