Iran's Rise and Fall: What History Actually Shows

from The Ben Shapiro Show · host The Daily Wire

From the 1979 revolution to the Iran hostage crisis, suicide bombings, nuclear enrichment, and countless acts of proxy terrorism, the Islamic Republic of Iran has never stopped seeking out America's destruction.
