From the 1979 revolution to the Iran hostage crisis, suicide bombings, nuclear enrichment, and countless acts of proxy terrorism, the Islamic Republic of Iran has never stopped seeking out America's destruction. The West honors life; the Iranian regime celebrates death. The West seeks to spread prosperity; the Ayatollahs have only ever spread suffering and terror. The central lesson of our history with Iran is clear: weakness invites aggression, but peace can be found through strength. -- -- -- LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos daily: https://youtube.com/@BenShapiro?sub_confirmation=1 ALSO SUBSCRIBE to the Ben Shapiro Clips Channel: https://youtube.com/@BenShapiroclips?sub_confirmation=1 Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://dwplus.watch/BenShapiroMemberExclusive -- -- -- DailyWire+: Become a Daily Wire Member and watch all of our content ad-free: https://www.dailywire.com/subscribe 📲 Download the free Daily Wire app today on iPhone, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Samsung, and more. 💘 Season 2 of 'Ben After Dark' is available here: https://dwplus.watch/BenAfterDark 📘 My book "Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America (and Her Critics)" is available here: https://dwplus.shop/LionsandScavengers 👕 Get your Ben Shapiro merch here: https://dwplus.shop/BenShapiroMerch #BenShapiro #TheBenShapiroShow #News #Politics #DailyWire

Thank you for this walk through history that I actually lived as a 63-year-old person. It infuriates me to listen to these radical liberals who have no idea or regard for the actual history of the US involved in the middle east.

My sisters used to be friends and co workers with a guy whose farther was one of the Iran hostages. He was a professor at a college. I remember every house in our neighborhood had the yellow ribbon tied around their tress.
