...against America:
Iran's 27-year Jihad Against America
Today's announcement by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that Iran would reject talks with the U.S. over its nuclear program comes as no surprise to veteran Iran-watchers.
In fact, this weekend marked the tenth anniversary of the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 U.S. servicemen and wounded hundreds more. Just last week, former FBI director Louis Freeh stated that the Iranian government ordered that attack. Indeed, ever since the 1979 Islamic revolution, the Iranian regime has been in a virtual state of war against the United States.
The 1979 hostage crisis was only the first volley in this Iranian jihad. The bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983 and the murder of 241 U.S. Marines in Beirut that same year were the next stage. And the hits have just kept coming. Most recently, Iran has been facilitating and funding the death of American troops in Iraq. Some even say the Iranians were involved in the planning of 9/11.
