nation-wide temper tantrum that they can’t pull the US into a war with Iran so they try to provoke a war with the entire region

I think Iran has proxies through Iraq and Syria, in no small part due to US meddling in the region.

They aren't proxies. They are local groups who were willing to fight ISIS, so they got weapons and assistance from Iran, Lebanon and Russia.

I hate it when people call the Iraqi Islamic Resistance "Iranian proxies". They are Iraqis, the only ones who actually stood up to US and ISIS and was willing to fight the occupiers. The US/Israel does this so they can strike "Iranian proxy groups" in Syria and Iraq and Lebanon constantly that are just Syrians, Iraqis and Lebanese who oppose them. They make it seem like they aren't at war with multiple fractured nations.
