Iran is using proxies to stage attacks on countries that Iran's government does not like and to supply weapons to revolutionaries that the Iranian government likes.

They are a state sponsor of world terrorism and have been for decades.

It is time for regime change in Iran.

Iran chooses to play the role of a tall lightening rod. Too bad for them that a severe storm is approaching.
