Was Iran a Threat to America? Yes. The Long History of Iran's Attacks and the Danger of a Nuclear Iran

When President Trump's Director of Counterterrorism quit this week over the Iran war, Joe Kent wrote in his resignation letter that, "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."
Tucker Carlson has said the chances of Iran ever launching a nuclear weapon were "zero."
Megyn Kelly says American servicemen and women are fighting "…for a foreign country. This feels very much to me like Israel's war."
Since the 1979 embassy takeover in Tehran, however, Iran has engaged in a non-stop campaign of asymmetric warfare against the United States.
Iran and its proxies have attacked, kidnapped, and killed Americans some 45 times since the Iranian revolution. And that doesn't include the hundreds of Americans killed and maimed in Iraq by Iran's allies.
Tzvi Kahn has compiled a complete history of the attacks for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Kahn says, "The hostage crisis at the U.S. embassy in Tehran, when Iranian students backed by the regime, took several dozen American hostages for 444 days…that, you could say, was sort of the opening shot in the conflict between the United States and Iran. And what we saw in the 47 years since it's been a sustained campaign by the regime to target Americans in the Middle East and throughout the world."
