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.”

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.
Declaration of war? Fuhgedaboudit.
Re “Now is the time…”
Not with the Democrats in control it isn’t…
War now or perpetual terrorism and then a nuclear Iran with ICBMs. Make your choice.
We must cut off the head of the snake. If someone orders a ‘hit’, would you kill the hitman and leave the person who ordered it? If you take away Iran’s ability to make war or terror, then terror will be severely reduced. CUT THE HEAD OFF OF THE SNAKE!
We are 13 times over bankrupt and collapsing here, or haven’t you noticed?
A US war with Iran will hasten our collapse.
any thing that works. The head is in Iran
We need to keep the shipping lanes open and stop the ICBM and nuke development.
Those who say not with the dems: I can wait for TRump.
ICBMS and nukes would do worse.
> But do you doubt for a second that there are Hamas agents already in this country? <
Thanks to Joe Biden, that’s something that must be considered. And it’s another reason why there should be no declaration of war. Iran right now is a pain in the butt to us. Declare war on Iran, and those agents will be activated.
Perhaps that would be a good thing, as those agents would be exposed. But there’d be a ton of innocent blood spilt in the process.
It’s a real sh!t show either way.
Thanks foolish neocon, but I reject your war-monger false, straw-man argument.
Elections have consequences. But hey, no mean Tweets!

conratulations on the persistent name calling. I admire consistency and the use of stereotypes to defeat a cogent argument. Easy to say, hard to prove.
One of us is wrong. Let’s hope it’s me. I am riding into the sunset Iran will be your problem and our childrens and grand childrens.
yes and the cartels, Sufficient to secure the border and then hit drug cartels.
We were attacked on 9/11 and thousands of Americans were killed and we didn’t declare war on anyone. The Biden administration is more likely to declare war on Israel than Iran.
yes we did. a war on terrorism which was not finished although trump came close with ISIS but Iran runs free and nothing happens. we even gave them the money to operate with.,
Many of these people do not have any idea how depleted the US is of weaponry after Ukraine. Biden has drained our emergency oil supply and sold it all to China. We already can’t get recruits in the military so we would need a draft. That isn’t going to happen before the next stolen election and with a woke young generation to go fight is a joke. They will skeedaddle.
The truth is other countries have some fine weaponry more advanced than some of ours and we cannot forget these countries, including ours, have many nukes. We have weak corrupt leaders who have pissed off the whole world.
Some act like it is 1985 and we have this mighty military and massive stockpiles on hand to go fight half the world all at the same time. We can just go tell people “you cross us and we will blow y’all away.
All a sane person can do is just shake their head in sorrow.
Biden thinks East Palestine is in the middle east.
A- Round up all the political hacks and contributers that made this possible. Stand them up against a wall and shoot them.
B- Included in “A” must be all the media and rigged election types that enable “A”.
No more wars while a known enemy in our rear back-stabs, profits, and amasses even more political power from the blood and misery of others.
Thanx for the name calling and underestimating the danger from Iran, and ignoring the lists of terrorist acts by Iran at the links I posted.
Church and brunch calls.
I’m out. for those who want a no response opportunity to name call some more.
Wars are declared on countries/governments, not on tactics.
