Irans nefarious purpose has been evident for half a century. It has been clear that Iran under the mullahs is a force for evil ever since the attack on the US Embassy in Teheran in 1979. Dozens of US embassy personnel were taken hostage and held for 400 some days in order to weaken American resolve. Then as now, the Iran regime used others as a proxy, namely "Iranian students". Then as now, hostages were used to bargain. Then as now, America mistakenly made hostage rescue paramount over brute military force, playing into the strategy of the terrorists. Then as now, the US was led by a President Interested in appeasement rather than punishment.
