At the top of the list of security threats even without going nuclear

You can place to one side the threat posed by Iran's nuclear weaponry campaign and you would still be left with the reality that the Islamic Republic takes a prominent place right at the top of the list of existential security threats to the whole world. As we have noted here repeatedly, its extreme hostility to Israel and Israelis makes it a particular concern for us.

As a state sponsor of terrorist activity, Iran stands behind the steady growth in Islamist extremist threats throughout the world. It openly delivers weapons systems to avowedly militaristic terrorist organizations including Hezbollah, Hamas and several other Palestinian Arab terrorist groups.

How openly? If you visit an Iranian-language website called Sepahnews, you can see a report there (translated to English here) quoting a speech by the deputy commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Hossain Salami, boasting that

“the secret soldiers of the Revolution” and their branches in Lebanon and Gaza have brought about “historical failures” for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Salami said that prior to the revolution the “Zionist regime” — a term Iran uses instead of Israel — were able to easily contend with Arab countries. However, Salami added that after the Islamic Revolution [of 1979], the hidden forces and their branches in Lebanon and Gaza caused “historical failures” for the IDF and “disbanded” Western forces. Iran’s military has repeatedly emphasized its role in arming terror groups in Gaza. Salami praised Iran’s “martyrs”, saying that if it were not for them, Iran would now be an occupied country...
