why do we have a moral obligation to help? and why them? there are many places on Earth with a lot worse situation for citizens than Iranians, do we have a moral obligation to help everyone and prioritize?

Yes, we absolutely do!
We should prioritize. We have to be pragmatic and choose our battles. We can’t be everywhere at once.
Iran has destabilized the region for decades. It’s hard to imagine how game changing it would be to remove that.
again, why do we care? about this region in particular. and for whom would it be “game-changing” other than Israel?
> we have to be pragmatic and choose our battles
this sounds very far removed from “we have a moral obligation”
bottom line, we should not give two shits about what is happening there and we even went voting for a candidate who told us he’ll be the one to make sure we don’t give two shits about it except of course he turned out to be worse than all previous ones combined :)
