As someone who has lived most of his life in Iran, I ask those who find any alignment with the IRGC to please understand that it is a religiously fanatic military and terrorist group. They are behind many atrocities in Iran and in the region including the situation in Gaza (partially). They also provided weaponry and support to Russia against Ukraine.

Almost no one finds "alignment" with the IRGC.

Instead this is a conflict where all sides are garbage. It's a conflict where we hope that everyone loses.

On the one side you have a terrorism-sponsoring theocracy that wants to force stone-age beliefs on its people, while exporting mayhem elsewhere. On the other you have Iran. (ba-dum-tss!)

Seriously, though, everyone involved with this conflict are bad actors. The US has bombed some 8 countries so far this year, threatened literal allies such that they got blood supplies ready for an invasion, is busy looting Venezuela like a busted pirate shithole -- basically Somalia -- is starving Cuba, is terroristically blowing up random boats by titling them "narco-terrorists", and is headed by a criminal rapist PoS that is rapidly turning the country into an idiocracy while their military is headed by a ChatGPT spouting imbecile. Israel is a war-criming pariah that pushed their luck a little too far and it turns out you can only bank on "but the holocaust" for so long while you're a rogue hermit nation that has vile behaviours and habits.

It's only in context that Iran, far down in the depths of garbage nations, somehow comes out looking like the better party in the conflict.

I think what they mean is that IRGC funded Hamas operations.

Who, if anyone, is Iran allowed to retaliate against?

The US started this. Amazon is an American company with many governmental and military contracts. Why would it not be a valid target?

How many Iranian hospitals, schools, bridges, data centers, etc have been destroyed?

A more nuanced take might be that, in certain situations, there can be more than one bad actor. Have you considered that?

What do the Americans get for their relatives murdered by IRGC throughout the years?

Let's do it fairly. Like 100s (?) of Americans killed by Iran ever. Compare to Iranians: Affected by the aftermath of the American coup of Mosaddegh (ultimately leading to IRGC's existence), providing weapons to Iraq for the Iran-Iraq War (200K deaths), etc. + decades of stupid policy trying to take their oil in the name of "regional security" (for "our" oil).

> Let's do it fairly.

How would it work? Do you expect a 1:1 casualty list? 1:1 list of events? Should the US citizens allow for a coup on US soil carried out by the IRGC?

The Israelis are the only ones that can, and want, to strike back. Besides no one weeps for missiles falling on Israeli cities, so that doesn’t serve the Iranians at all. Lots of much softer targets for Iranian missiles which can’t do anything to Iran.

Forgive the uninformed question, but doesn't Saudi Arabia also have significant armed forces? Given that Iran has closed the Straights of Hormuz and attacked several other Arab states, and has conducted strikes in Saudia Arabia itself, wouldn't that give Saudia Arabia a solid reason to strike back?

last time ksa went to war it was against yemen, and didnt go very well.

Given how clownish the US is handling this war, I'm afraid you just have to get used to it.
