Trump Says What Goes Around Comes Around After Iran Terrorist Attack

President Donald Trump triggered many leftists Wednesday when he responded to a terror attack in Iran by dropping a brutal truth bomb.

“We grieve and pray for the innocent victims of the terrorist attacks in Iran, and for the Iranian people, who are going through such challenging times,” he said in a statement published by the White House. “We underscore that states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote.”

According to The Washington Post, the attack involved gunmen linked to the Islamic State group who opened fire at both the nation’s parliament building and a shrine dedicated to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

At least 17 died and dozens more were wounded, so the president was right to “grieve and pray” for the victims. However, he was just as right to highlight Iran’s own sordid history of terrorism, though not shockingly, the leftists at The Post disagreed.

“It’s tacky and heartless in any context to try to score political points when lamenting the loss of innocent lives,” opined Ishaan Tharoor.

“But even given the pronounced tensions between Tehran and Washington — made all the more acute by the Trump administration putting Iran ‘on notice’ — Trump’s statement seemed to cross an unspoken line in world affairs,” he added.

Here’s the upshot: According to Saeed Ghasseminejad, an Iranian and fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank, following the attack the deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ intelligence unit declared that Iran would obtain revenge on Saudi Arabia and the United States, both of which he blamed for the acts of terror.

What Ishaan Tharoor failed to realize is that Iran is not our friend. If anything, Iran has a lengthy history of anti-American hatred and state-sponsored terrorism, which was the point the president had been attempting to convey Wednesday.

Nor are Iran’s political leaders friends to their own people, whom they have continually sacrificed on an altar in their zeal to upend the United States.

So please, for the sake of sanity and reason, perhaps Tharoor and his peers at the Post should save their tears for people who actually matter, such as the “innocent victims of the terrorist attacks in Iran” noted by the president — not Iran’s guilty-as-sin political leaders.
