Antagonize Who?

Camelia Entekhabifard writes in the NY Times:
Last month, a temporary international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program took effect. Many hope that this reflects a changed Iran: one that understands that it can’t endlessly antagonize the West, and is willing to make concessions.
Who is antagonizing who?

See that map? Those are US bases surrounding Iran. Camelia thinks that the readers are idiots. It was the US that decided to overthrow Iran's democratically elected leader. It was the US that funded Saddam Hussein to fight a war with Iran and supplied gas used to kill Iranian soldiers (pretending to this day that it was Saddam's own).

Iran has had it's commercial aircraft shot down. It has had it's money seized in foreign banks. It is under an economic embargo with is in fact an act of war as defined by the UN.

So WHO exactly is antagonizing WHO?
