Iran is probably the second biggest victim of terrorism behind Russia.
Can anyone name a single terrorist group or international terror act by a Shiite?

Nah every time it’s the marine barracks in Lebanon during the civil war in the early eighties or roadside bombs in Iraq placed by Iraqis.

International terrorism is not same as domestic military resistance and rules of engagement in war.
Blowing up an invader's barracks on your own soil is not terrorism. Blowing up invader's civilians at a theater in the invader's homeland would be more akin to terrorism.
Also Hamas gets funding from Israel first and Qatar only supplies the international funding for overseas actitivies.

Yeah that’s the point Iran funds Shite resistance movements to Israel (thus we call them terrorists).
