Coining the phrase “drone terrorism” after a decade-long history of drone strikes with civilian casualties is rich.

You can’t claim terrorism after starting a war that killed 100+ school children on the first day of military strikes. It’s just retaliation as part of the war you started.

Their hostility is primarily a consequence of the Islamic Republic's rise.
