> My understanding is that the regime in Iran has been terrorizing around the world for decades

The list of Iranian terror attacks in America amounts to a whole lot of fuck all. Whatever Iran might be doing elsewhere shouldn't be America's problem.

They are doing it in the US, so it is America's problem.

And anyway, even if that weren't happening, most Americans are immigrants within two or three generations. This is a country of immigrants. A huge number of Americans have families that are affected by Islamic Republic terror attacks outside of the US. India, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, basically all of the countries in northern and eastern Africa, France, Germany, the UK.

The list of countries that haven't been attacked by terror groups funded and/or organized by Iran's Islamic Republic is pretty short.
