I think Alanis Morissette once made a song about this.

To be fair, they’re probably okay with one neighbor being targeted

The group that misjudged the situation to an epic fucking degree (hamas,) should shut the fuck up. Iran can and should target oil infrastructure in neighbors that host enemy bases, from their own point of view, it's the only card they have to play, raising oil prices.

It shows that Hamas was never a simple proxy who follow and say anything iran want them to do or say

Or, which I find more likely:

Qatar sponsors Hamas
Qatar hosts Hamas leadership for more than a decade
Qatar gets bombed by Iran
Qatar tells Hamas leadership to tell Iran to stop or else Hamas gets the boot

I don't see how anyone could expect to influence iran at this point. Trump is so trumpy. He has this go all out thing and then wants to threaten with more but there is no more. Its the epitome of this python thing from life of brian https://youtu.be/JjomrwEMSAA
