FACT-Iran has been arming and training terrorists across the Middle East for decades [View all]

Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Their missiles were fired by the Houthis they trained, with coordinates they supplied, at US warships this winter, with one only seconds from impacting a US destroyer when it activated it's last-ditch defenses and shot it down.

Iran doesn't have a moral leg to stand on in this fight. They've been stirring up shit in the ME for decades. Iranian generals operating outside of Iran, like the one killed in the Damascus strike, have made themselves fair game by their own actions.
