> nor were any Iranians or their allies tied to any terrorist attacks in Europe in my lifetime. Your lifetime is a fuzzy reference that possibly works because your are relatively young. Iram carried out terrorist attacks in Europe in the 80s that left tens of people dead. Iran has been linked to an infamous bombing in Argentina in the 90s. Iran has been linked to other attacks since. Recently, the war in Yemen and attacks on shipping routes has also links to Iran. Iran hasn't been a "local threat".
