Iran waged decades-long revolutionary terror war against U.S. in Middle East — and here at home

Iran killed hundreds of Americans across the Middle East, with its Hezbollah proxy being the most effective terrorist group against the U.S. prior to Al-Qaeda's terror attacks on 9/11.

The revolutionary Iranian regime — which may possibly find itself in a war with the United States in the coming days — has positioned itself as an adversary of the U.S. ever since it came into power decades ago in 1979.

President Donald Trump appears to be moving toward striking Iran, with the U.S. military moving significant military assets into the region, insisting he would prefer to strike a deal with the Iranian regime but that, if it comes to war, his top general has told him “it will be something easily won.”

Much of the discussion around possible conflict has focused on the Iranian regime’s nuclear program, its ballistic missiles, and its support of regional terrorist proxies — but not as much attention has been placed on a host of Iranian-directed terrorist attacks against U.S. troops, diplomats, and citizens which have killed hundreds of Americans. Iran has also sought to carry out a number of attempted plots on U.S. soil as well.
