The Obama administration has accused members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of plotting to kill Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the U.S. And, according to press reports, the putative assassination plot was just one of multiple planned attacks, including possible attacks on Saudi and Israeli embassies.

That the IRGC would be involved in planning such terrorist attacks is hardly surprising. Terrorism is in the IRGC’s DNA as it has supported terrorist operations around the globe for decades. Those operations include attacks against American servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan, for which Iran has never been held accountable.
