Iran is the sworn enemy of every American – just ask them. Iranian school children wake up each morning and are made to chant “Death to the USA, death to Israel.” The regime has escalated its aggression in recent months; its proxies in Yemen, Houthi warlords, have at times ground global trade to a halt by attacking ships in the Red Sea. It launched a direct attack on Israel this month using killer drones and long-range missiles. And American blood has been spilled, with Iranian-backed militias bombing U.S. military sites in February, attacks that killed three U.S. service members and wounded 40 others.

Iran knows its enemy, has named its enemy, and is attacking its enemy.

The Biden administration, on the other hand, seems content to ignore this uncomfortable problem, and at times treats the Iranians more like friends.
