Who killed more innocent people, directly and indirectly (i.e. by providing diplomatic, financial and military support to other countries and proxies ), the Unites States of America or the Islamic Republic of Iran?

United States of America.
Brown University Costs of War estimates over 940,000 direct deaths (432,000+ civilians) and 3.6-3.8 million indirect in post-9/11 US-led wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan, totaling 4.5-4.7 million. Iraq Body Count documents ~200,000 Iraqi civilian deaths. Iran's proxy support (Syria, Yemen, Hamas, Hezbollah) and domestic repression add hundreds of thousands, but lower overall scale. Exact attribution remains contested across sources.
