The War With Iran
By Joe Ragonese
Iran-Revolutionary-Guard
We have been at war with Iran since 1979. It was declared against us when they attacked and overran our embassy in Tehran, on November 4, 1979. For the next 444 days they held 52 American diplomats, Marines, soldiers, airmen, sailors and citizens hostage. These were Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, whom the U.S. press called students. Those same students are still in control of Iranian politics, military and religious leadership today. Iran declared war that day, but nobody in America heard.
When Ronald Reagan became the 40th President, on the very same day of his inauguration, the hostages were released. This was done to embarrass President Jimmy Carter as much as they could. One of the few faults this writer has with President Reagan, is that he did nothing to the Iranians for their act of war. They went without punishment for their misbehavior. This weakness emboldened Iran. That boldness grew year after year as America did nothing against this rogue country. Today the anti-American contempt is so complete, and Iran feels so superior to America, due to the present lack of leadership coming from the Obama Presidency, that it feels free to harasses our war ships, in the Persian Gulf, at its whim.
