Mass genocide of an impoverished people is fine, but oh no, don't go after a country that can fight back. That's a step too far!

It’s because these are the most entitled people on the planet. Killing defenseless people is fine because they can’t retaliate. But a war with Iran might slightly inconvenience them, which is unacceptable.

Also the reason they don't want to anger Russia. Just a voter base defined by selfishness and - even worse - short-sightedness. Anything that's not of immediate and personal benefit to them personally they are against. Fuck others and fuck the long run.
