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.
“Hezbollah has been involved in numerous anti-U.S. terrorist attacks, including the suicide truck bombings of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in October 1983, and the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut in September 1984, as well as the hijacking of TWA 847 in 1985 and the Khobar Towers attack in Saudi Arabia in 1996,” the Office of the Director of National Intelligence says.

LOL what BS
No one wants to call it what is it, genocide against the Persian population by the Arab minority running the Iranian government.
In what way….did you even read the article?
What specifically do you think is BS?
Most of whom were Saudi nationals. Iran's Shia and the Sunnis are two sides of the same coin, and oddly also violently disagree each with the other.
They are brothers fighting each other, except when they have a common enemy and then they are family.
And, whose fault is that other than Biden and the other Presidents that refused to security the border and enact sensible immigration laws?
There is no justification for going to war with Iran and risking American lives, the destruction of the Trump Presidency and handing Congress over to Democrats.
I think they want the non-Muslim world to conclude this so. I suspect it is not. Over decades, I have read -- including in a translator's foreword to a Koran -- that Muslim killing Muslim based on sectarian allegiance is the norm, not the exception. For this, I don't foresee a Muslim world unified, except in their dreams. "Umma" is alleged, but seemingly consistently broken. Over centuries.
"The Iran–Iraq War began with the Iraqi invasion of Iran in September 1980. After eight years of conflict, both countries accepted a ceasefire deal brokered by the United Nations, which became effective in August 1988. The war caused around 500,000 deaths, making it the deadliest conventional war ever fought between regular armies of developing countries. In starting the war, the Iraqi government—led by president Saddam Hussein—primarily wanted to prevent Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's leader following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, from exporting Iran's new state ideology to Iraq...." [ Wiki ]
Saddam Hussein had Nasserist principles. He ruled from the minority Ba’athist party based upon nationalistic principles rather than Iran’s theocratic principles.
In Iraq, the population is primarily divided between Shia and Sunni Muslims, with Shia making up about 50-60% and Sunnis about 35-45%. The Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party – Iraq Region was a secular, pan-Arabist party that was initially founded with a significant Shia membership but became overwhelmingly Sunni-dominated in its leadership and power structure, particularly under Saddam Hussein. While the party ideology was officially secular, it became increasingly identified with Sunni Arab interests.
Sadam was fighting for power and control, nationalism was just the tool he used to combine his factions.
Like Iran today, he attacked Israel, the common enemy of all Islamic countries, to try and unify his Islamic enemies.
mosley, Sunsong has a long history of pushing Democrat talking points here, and has also openly wished the President dead.
You are wrong. The rulers of Iran are amazingly clever. They are funding Islamic Centers all over the world, including US soil.
Their message gets a lot of traction among all Moslems:
“We, the Moslems, are Allah’s followers, and are being repressed by infidels. Israel infidels occupy holy Palestine. Our rulers, from Saudi Arabia to Qatar to Kuwait, are all corrupt and in the pocket of infidels. Infidels even have military bases in Saudi Arabia, the birth place of Islam. Thank Allah for Iran, the world’s only Moslem government, which is waging a global war against infidels.”
Non-Persian Moslems like this message. They took part in the recent massacres in Iran. They also demonstrate all over the world in support of the rulers of Iran.
I’ve seen Arab, Afghan, Pakistani and Somali protesters coming out in support of the Iranian government in Europe and Australia. I’ve personally talked to a loser Somali in the US who was an abysmal failure in his personal life, and somehow found validation in seeing Iran “gloriously stand up to USA and Israel.” These losers are the ones who are easily radicalized. Deport them now.
Right here in the US, I’ve talked to US-born Arabs who are sympathetic to the government of Iran. Get rid of birthright citizenship.
The rulers of Iran are evil. We ignore them at our own peril.
It’s not true! LOL It’s not true at all.
Where are the facts to back it up?
It’s not a ‘talking point’.
Where are the facts? Please back up your claim with actual facts.
The facts were laid out in the article...all of them historical facts, irrefutable, that you said were lies. I refer you back to the article that is the subject of this thread for your statement: “Where are the facts? Please back up your claim with actual facts.”
I don’t need to back up “my claim” - you need to back up yours...but per usual, you won’t, just like you didn’t justify your Democrat talking point claim “The Republicans control the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court so if the government is shut down it is their fault.” You were asked to explain and justify this claim repeatedly, including your claim about how the makeup of the Supreme Court could have anything to do with bills being passed in Congress, and you repeatedly failed to do so...because the claims you were making were nonsense.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4346314/replies?c=50 - questions he/she refuses to answer (because of course they can’t).
This includes a post celebrating a false report that President Trump had a major stroke and become incapacitated and unable to govern.
Sunsong:
“The latest I’m hearing is that Trump had a stroke and is NOT running our government!
May the truth come out soon.
May it be
May it be so!”
That’s the integrity we are dealing with: https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4346483/replies?c=20
LOL I call BS, again.
The GOP controls the House. The GOP controls the Senate. The GOP controls the Supreme Court.
Prove me wrong...
No disagreement.
My comment was that this "umma/h" is supposed to be unified, but about 1400 years of murderous schisms proves it is a myth, albeit a powerful one. Muslims still fight other Muslims. Only this month, a Shia mosque in Pakistan "enjoyed" its suicide bombing in which At least 31 killed, more than 160 injured in mosque bombing in Pakistan's capital 6 February 2026.
There will always be power struggles within Moslems.
But rulers of Iran don’t need 100% of Moslems to support them. A mere 10% to 20% of the global population can be devastating to civilization. And they are slowly gaining support among non-Persian Moslems. Worse yet, they are gaining support among brain-washed America-hating liberals.
This is a threat, not just to people of Iran and Israel, or to the US. It is a threat to human civilization.
On the other hand, a liberated Iran, inoculated against political Islam, a strong ally of the US, and a regional military and economic superpower, would be a huge blow for progress and peace.
Iran is the most populous nation in the Persian Gulf. And it punches above its weight. When the son of the Shah called for support rallies, some 2 million people showed up all over the globe on 2-weeks’ notice. Can any other people do that? Can the Ukranians? Or Chinese? Or even Israelis?
Global Iranian diaspora pack a powerful punch. And we yearn to step into the ring for America, once again. It’s time to flip Iran.

The small percentage seems to hold true for all the totalitarian movements, of which Islam is one. Mao's Red Guard and the Bolsheviks and the first phase of the National Socialists were are a smaller percentage than the image portrayed, were they not?
As to the "brain-washed America-hating liberals," they surely seem to be herded, some with money and others with non-stop propaganda shutting out commonsense.
