Even if we assume there is a good reason for worrying about Iran, the lack of support for connecting that to the Shia would still enable a strong argument that singling out the Shia suggests discrimination against the them because of their being Shia. But let us take a look at the reason for all that animosity toward Iran by the like of the Saudi and their coalition. What is shared by all those countries? They are all majority Ssunny countries and/ or under control of Ssunnies. What about none Arab Muslim countries like Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesia? They are fine with them all. So what is different with Iran? Iran is a country of majority Shia and ruled by Shia. This suggests very strongly that the animosity toward Iran itself is because of its being Shia and not the other way around. So here we see that the argument of the Shia being targeted because of being Shia is very strongly supported from both ends.
