Joe Kent(@joekent16jan19):The point is that the Iranians are not sending suicide bombers to the U.S., or planning attacks against the homeland. Attacks & plots against the homeland have been AQ/ISIS Salfi Jihadis. Shias have only attacked us when we are intervening in their back yard. They are not the jihadis of AQ & ISIS who we should be focusing on. However, because of this war, killing the supreme leader & the bombing of the girls school, this will likely change this.

.@joekent16jan19 is wrong - SHOCKER “The whole myth that Iran is full of like crazy suicide bombers & crazy jihadis, Is a LIE. The Shias don’t use suicide bombers." WRONG Hezbollah & Iran (both Shia) pioneered terrorist suicide bombing in Lebanon killing 220 Marines and dozens of other Americans at our Embassy and the Marine barracks. He also said they don't come to attack us here, well the US Embassy is American soil, so that certainly counts. Even if you just talk about Iran now they are still ruled by Twelver Shia theocrats who believe they need an Armageddon-like event to bring the return of their Mahdi to conquer the world. That's why they want a nuke Joe. What is more Armageddon-ish than a mushroom cloud. So I think an apocalyptic death cult qualifies as "crazy jihadis". How can the former Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center be this ignorant of major terror attacks that killed hundreds of Americans?
