    If I understand it correctly, and please correct me if I’m wrong, Russian interference in Syria has been exceptionally devastating for Isis in the region.

      But so has American and other Western interference.

      Terror attacks on Iran and Russia when they are in the middle of fighting the most well accepted common enemy between all parties in the middle east (Israel) certainly is not going to boost ISIS reputation.

        ISIS really doesn’t have any significant friendly states, so their international reputation isn’t exactly a priority

            I don’t think anyone really sees it as hypocritical, especially not their potential members - they’re very open about their hatred for these countries
