The atrocity in Bulgaria is another reminder about the nature of the Iranian regime. The Islamic Republic was born through terror, starting with the 1979 hostage crisis at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, and it has become the world’s leading terror sponsor. A clerical regime hated by its own people and isolated in the world has grown even more brazen and unpredictable.
No wonder Israel is so worried about Iran’s plans to build nuclear weapons and is determined to stop Tehran with a direct military strike if need be. As Mr. Netanyahu said, “A terrorist state must not have a nuclear weapon,” especially when that state pledges to wipe you off the map.
The wonder is that the U.S. and its allies continue to look for ways to reach a diplomatic understanding with the perpetrators of these unending attacks, rather than calling the regime what it is and working to overthrow it. Iran’s killing of innocents will continue until the world decides to stop it.
