Another terrorist attack -Tehran Iran

[Minoosh]

Why would our media not report big incidents happening in Tehran?

There really haven't been any. Twelve dead? Please. With caveats as to source, check out Wikipedia's database of terror attacks. U.S. media do not report on the vast majority of these, maybe because many U.S. media consumers could not care less.

'IS' hits parliament and Khomeini mausoleum


Surprised no one here has mentioned this yet..


Let God sort them out?

It was mentioned in another ISF thread, but I too was surprised this wasn't commented on much or reported more prominently. It doesn't have to be a "let God sort them out" thing. The U.S. media are not strong on international news in general and Muslim vs. Muslim violence is a big "meh" for many in the U.S. As are an awful lot of things that happen anywhere besides here, Western Europe and maybe Canada.

Strawman again - I do not claim big incidents may have gone unreported or unnoticed.

Terror attacks make the news only if a decent number of people are killed, my dear
I suspect you have no clue of what you are talking about here

Yes, it's very interesting reading. I'm just guessing that five question marks meant you wanted a link. Maybe there was some other reason for the question marks. For clarity's sake it is sometimes helpful to do more than repeat a phrase.

Also I should correct myself: 17 fatalities in Iran, not 12.

Very interesting indeed.
I read it.

Thanks God, as I was saying, not many terror attacks in Tehran

IMO, having looked this up on Wikipedia, it's a pretty politicized list. Iran wants to be on the list, IMO. It wouldn't be hard to promote terrorism without being a "state sponsor," because Saudi Arabia.

Or the U.S.. Nicaragua comes to mind.

From 1979 to 1990, the United States provided financial, logistical and military support to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua, who used terrorist tactics in their war against the Nicaraguan government[3][27][28][29][30][31] and carried out more than 1300 terrorist attacks.[32] This support persisted despite widespread knowledge of the human rights violations committed by the Contras.[28]

And that's just one example.

Of course when we're footing the bill they somehow aren't terrorists anymore. They magically morph into "freedom fighters".

Actually, I am surprised Iran has received only very few attacks by terrorists until now
The UK has been the target much more, and France

Why does this surprise you?
