The U.S. State Department has for years described Iran as the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism.

However, in recent years, it has suddenly become fashionable in some circles to downplay Iran’s role in Jihadist terrorism. Most notably, Richard Clarke, the former terrorism advisor in the executive branch, has begun insisting that Iran’s support for terrorism is largely something of the past, and as long as we don’t interfere with their nuclear ambitions, Clarke believes they will continue to behave. On the other hand, if we do take a stand against Atomic Ayatollahs, Clarke says we can expect terrorism worse than anything Al Qaeda is capable of from Iran’s favorite terrorist organization, Hezbollah.

All of this hogwash was recently detailed and refuted nicely by Thomas Joscelyn in the Weekly Standard, in an article entitled “Iran’s War on the West.”
