Someone better tell Iran that the global war on terror is over

Only a week after President Obama declared an end to the global war on terror, the State Department accused Iran of “a marked resurgence” in its global export of terrorism to “a tempo unseen since the 1990s.”

Separately, a prosecutor in Argentina indicted top Iranian officials, including the country’s defense minister and a presidential candidate, in the bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish center that killed 85 people and injured hundreds.

The 502-page charging document named Iran as establishing terrorist networks in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Suriname, among other countries.

Additionally, the prosecutor laid out how Iranian agents had participated in the 2007 plot to blow up a Kennedy Airport fuel line, taking training and direction from the Tehran mastermind of the Buenos Aires bombing.

At trial in Brooklyn, one participant admitted advising the conspirators to run the JFK plot by authorities in Iran; a second confessed that he regularly sent information to Tehran and felt bound to follow fatwas from the mullahs.

Still more this past week, Iranian-American citizen Manssor Arbabsiar pleaded guilty in Manhattan Federal Court to plotting to murder the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S. He admitted acting “at the direction” of “officials in the Iranian military.”

Then, too, backed by Iran, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah committed his terror band to backing Syrian President Bashar Assad in the country’s two-year-old civil war.

Yeah, don't he know that Obambibozodoofus has declared "global war on terror is (pause) over" (sorry, the teleprompter paused before "over".

Everyone who has tried it has learned to his dismay that the export of revolution is a ruinously expensive indulgence. The Iranians now find themselves at loggerheads with Russia in Syria. One measure of just how feckless and incompetent our State Department has become is that they want to join in.
