President Trump announces that the US will formally designate the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps, Tehran’s most powerful military institution, as a foreign terrorist organization. The move is unprecedented, marking the first time that the US designated a part of another government as a terror group. Iran responds by declaring the US a “state sponsor of terrorism.”

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/01/world/us-iran-conflict-timeline-trnd/

In August 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice charged an Iranian operative (Shahram Poursafi) with "plotting to assassinate former President Donald Trump's national security advisor John Bolton."[62] Poursafi, a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was charged for "providing and attempting to provide material support to a transnational murder plot".[63][64][65][66] According to reports, Mike Pompeo was also a target,[67] where a bounty of $1 million was placed for his murder.[68] Masih Alinejad, a journalist and human rights activist, has been a target of Iranian theocracy since fleeing Iran in 2009. In 2021, the FBI intercepted a kidnapping plot against her by Iranian agents who had planned to kidnap her from her New York home. U.S. prosecutors charged an Iranian intelligence officer for the kidnapping plot. In 2022, U.S. police arrested a man who had tried to break into Alinejad’s Brooklyn home while in possession of an AK47.[69][70][71]

Iran is also accused of other acts of terrorism. Including: Mykonos restaurant assassinations. On September 17, 1992, Iranian-Kurdish insurgent leaders Sadegh Sharafkandi, Fattah Abdoli, Homayoun Ardalan and their translator Nouri Dehkordi were assassinated at the Mykonos Greek restaurant in Berlin, Germany. In the Mykonos trial, the courts found Kazem Darabi, an Iranian national who worked as a grocer in Berlin, and Lebanese Abbas Rhayel, guilty of murder and sentenced them to life in prison. Two other Lebanese, Youssef Amin and Mohamed Atris, were convicted of being accessories to murder. In its 10 April 1997 ruling, the court issued an international arrest warrant for Iranian intelligence minister Hojjat al-Islam Ali Fallahian[97] after declaring that the assassination had been ordered by him with knowledge of supreme leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and president Ayatollah Rafsanjani.[98]

The sponsorship of at least thirty terrorist attacks between 2011 and 2013 "in places as far flung as Thailand, New Delhi, Lagos, and Nairobi", including a 2011 plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the US and bomb the Israeli and Saudi embassies in Washington, D.C.[36][better source needed]

If you search Iranian Terrorism there is a massive amount of information.

From a FR thread earlier this morning:

Biden Admin: "We don't know if Iran was involved."

Hamas: "They were involved."

Biden Admin: "We just don't know."

Hamas: "No really, they were involved."

Biden Admin: "We may never know." https://t.co/cUJsAaQzy0

Iran, the terrorist regime Joe Biden just gave $6B https://t.co/APej7XlKnc

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) October 8, 2023

And Iran is basically bragging about it. https://t.co/qedXLSHtpI

— RBe (@RBPundit) October 8, 2023

All while our own pathetic administration insists Iran had nothing to do with it.

I propose a declaration of war with two goals, eliminate Iran's weapons research and development programs including the ICBMs they are developing to reach Europe. Regeime change with an open election.

Ding, ding, ding I have my winner!

From a thread earlier today:

“I’m just waiting for the neocon clarion call to “do something!”. Bombing Syria is the usual knee jerk reaction. “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” is also high on the request list. I detest the violence but have little doubt the Israelis can defend themselves without our meddling. I remember thinking I’d have to check my Bible to find the last time peace was so widespread in this area during Trump’s presidency. I really believe he could have made it permanent.”

RAT-A-TAT-TAT RAT-A-TAT-TAT
The drum beat for war.
The politicians need a war. The Neocons are desperate for a war. The bureaucrats want a war. The ‘Defense Industry’ wants a war. So I guess we will have another war. I hope & pray it can be contained enough to spare most of the world. But I doubt it.

Why not declare war on Iran, we could then fight, Russia, China and Iran all at the same time. We haven’t had a good World War killing millions of people in a long time, we get an extra bonus this time, all 3 likely have nuclear weapons.

I’m just outside Philly, and I’ll take that chance.
The idea Iran would use a nuke against Philly is garbage.
What branch and what MOS are you?

Your warmongering is noted.

No declaration of war. No war. Iran-backed Hamas did not attack us. So there is no valid reason for us to go to war with them. We are not the world’s policeman.

But covertly mess with them? Oh, yes. Jam their signals, freeze their bank accounts, and do a million other things to make life miserable for them.

But unfortunately Biden will do none of that. It’s more likely that he will end up penalizing Israel for using “excessive force”. Oops. I shouldn’t have Biden there. I should have said Biden’s handlers.

Yet. But do you doubt for a second that there are Hamas agents already in this country?

your pacivism is also noted.

Philly harbor was an example. Would you prefer NY or San Diego my hometown. Naval base and Marines all over.

I noticed you didn’t state your service and duty.
Do you often desire to send other men to war?

The latest war is with our ally. We gave 6 billion to Iran you think it’s a coincidence that hamas has a large barrage of missiles so soon after. They admit Iran backed them.

The links i posted list Iran’s terrorism and international crimes since 79. Let’s take them at their word Death To America and stop it before they successfully test.

What do you want?

We already learned iran has an entire spy operation in WDC. NOT THAT they needed it cause they are already deeply embedded in the deep state.
