The Future of Iranian Terror and Its Threat to the U.S. Homeland

The Iranian nuclear agreement is a false deal, which gave Iran $100 billion, access to global markets, and greater freedom of movement. We have seen evidence of Iran's true nature, such as when they released sensitive, embarrassing photographs of U. S. sailors during their illegal detention in Iran. This is the type of action you expect from an outlaw nation, not a nation which has just entered into an agreement, which has elements of good faith in it. It is an indicator of the real thinking behind the leaders in Iran. While the White House and State Department have been moving forward with the Nuclear Deal, intelligence professionals have been consistent that Iran and its proxies still pose a significant threat. In testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper, said that Iran is, "The foremost state sponsor of terrorism and employs the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, Quds Force, Hezbollah, and other proxy groups." While the Nuclear Deal is intended to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, as DNI Clapper noted in his testimony, Iran's, "military and security services are keen to demonstrate that their regional power ambitions have not been altered by the deal."
