Iran's murderous terrorist leaders are paying for their crimes against America and they are paying in blood. Since 1979, the terrorist Iranian regime has actively and intentionally facilitated the killings of Americans. They chant Death to America and fund other radical terrorists who attack our country and are seeking to destroy Western civilization itself. These terrorists seized our Embassy and took 66Americans hostage in Tehran. They slaughtered 241 U.S. service members with a truck bombing in Beirut. They killed and maimed hundreds of American service members in Iraq. (20:41–20:53)
