That is an untruth. And people who value the truth find it offensive when peddlers of obviously-made-up-stories as truth make such an assertion about them.If you don't like flame wars, stop playing with matches.

Regrettably, you are not reasoning as clearly as you were at one time. The "particular type of people" happen to be the type of people who are concerned about truth and have developed pretty good abilities at determining what is truth.I'm not concerned with your religion. It is within your rights to observe whatever religion you wish. But you ought to be able to recognize when stories are obviously made up. You might still choose to believe such stories on the basis of faith. But it is wrong for you to accuse others of not valuing truth just because they do not choose to accept obviously made up stories.

What you quoted from Yale Journal indicates that Iran is no threat. So there's no point in getting in a tizzy about it. Personally, I support sanity over insanity. And, as far as I can tell, that's the side jar is supporting.

No starting an unnecessary war against Iran is sane.Letting Iran do foolish things and making themselves a hated nation is sane.Not doing stupid things ourselves, and not making us a hated nation is sane.
