Iran change of heart: not a terrorist regime

Dozens of Democrats have voted against a nonbinding resolution in the House that reaffirms Iran as the "largest state sponsor of terrorism." The resolution, put forward by Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., passed by a 372-53 vote on Thursday, with all those voting no being Democrats. Two Democrats also voted present.

Existing Designation: Iran has been a U.S. government-designated state sponsor of terrorism since 1984. The resolution did not create a new legal status but reaffirmed an existing one.

For 50+ years the designation hasn't been lifted.

How many world leaders has Iran kidnapped or killed lately? Or ever, for that matter.

America has spent the last 26 years waging war on middle eastern nations.

We've attacked 8 different countries in the last year.

No other nation causes more deaths and terror than America.

"We've attacked 8 different countries in the last year."

That's Putin's (and Xi's) plan: exhaust the US, and bleed it dry with wars, borrowed money for tax cuts, and crypto scams.

"No other nation causes more deaths and terror than America."

You're going to have to back that up with some numbers, including the timeframe you're pulling those numbers from.

"We've attacked 8 different countries in the last year."

Most of the ones you're probably referring to include military actions which were done in coordination with the governments of those countries.

"We've attacked 8 different countries in the last year."
