Iran’s terror war is reaching America (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For more than two decades, I have studied counterterrorism and radical Islamist organizations in the Middle East. I now want to address the U.S. intelligence community directly. The question is not whether the Islamic Republic is willing to pursue violence on American soil. Its record has answered that. The question is whether America will recognize the next plot before Tehran succeeds. In March 2026, a federal jury convicted Asif Merchant of murder-for-hire and attempting an act of terrorism ac
