Yes you're right, always remember who writes the article and what their interests are.

AJ seems to be pro-Russia, anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-Iran islamic "republic". The islamic republic is all about deception, cutting internet to the whole country and reopening it 3 weeks later heavily filtered.

I can never believe them or any of their allies.

The Russian invasion contains disproportionately more Sunni Muslims than the population, so there’s some sincerity in Al Jazeera covering it from that side.

And I’ve seen AJ covering Shia, especially outside Iran, without mentioning the politics of Iran.

One thing to keep in mind is that Sunni outside of KSA are not very supportive of the Saudi royal family. Whereas Shia outside of Iran have a coreligionist unity. That’s how I see AJs coverage.

If it's not outright propaganda AJ is heavily biased or misinformed, or at least it's my right to be highly sceptical of this source. I don't know if that's why the post was flagged or if it's just because it's not the right type of content for HN.

Wheter Sunni or Shia it seems countries close to Iran prefer the status quo to other options.
