Another reminder that the Iran nuclear deal will not deter Iranian assassination plots

A top Iranian general reminded us on Wednesday why the Biden administration’s obsessive focus on restoring the Iran nuclear accord will not prevent Iranian assassination plots against U.S. officials.

Referencing Iran’s desire to avenge former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani, Gen. Mohammad Pakpour told Iranian state media that even “if all American leaders are killed, this will still not avenge his assassination.” Pakpour continued, “We should avenge him by following Soleimani’s path and through other methods.”
