Iran has been the aggressor since 1979.
They have launched attacks around the world. They orchestrated the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon, killing 241 American service members and 58 French service members.
They we're responsible for the 1994 AMIA Jewish Center bombing in Argentina, killing 85 and injuring over 300.
They provided the IEDs that killed over a thousand American service members in Iraq and Afghanistan and injured countless more.
They brutally took foreign nationals - including Americans - hostage. They created a ring of terror proxies around Israel to do the same evil things.
They built a nuclear program to destroy Israel, but Israel defended itself, declaring, Never Again. Iran told us what they wanted to do. We needed to believe them. Tonight, it is clear that we do.
