Iran is the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism, a
factor that has made its nuclear weapons program all the more
threatening to a wide variety of nations. Since the 1979 Iranian
revolution, Tehran has seized American diplomats, ordered American
hostages to be taken in Lebanon, assassinated Iranian opposition
leaders at home and abroad, and supported a stealthy terrorist war
against the United States, Israel, and other nations. What are the
implications of Iran's longstanding history of terrorism for the
Middle East and for U.S. Policy?
