Every year, the Iranian government marks "Death to America Day," commemorating the hostage crisis at the U.S. embassy in Tehran. This event underscores Iran's longstanding antagonism towards the United States and its role as a primary sponsor of terrorism. Throughout its history, Iran has orchestrated numerous terrorist attacks globally, notably in cities like Beirut and Buenos Aires, showcasing its commitment to violence against perceived enemies.

Despite facing crippling economic sanctions, Iran continues to pursue nuclear capabilities and missile technology aimed at adversaries, particularly Israel. The Iranian leadership has made it clear that they intend to eliminate Israel, reflecting their aggressive foreign policy and ideological stance. Ted Cruz in his book, "A Time for Truth," highlights these dangerous ambitions, illustrating the threats posed by the Iranian regime on the world stage.
