"A quiet, largely client-based war. But this war is no longer quiet.
Holder called the plot "an international conspiracy by elements of the Iranian government."
Holder said the two men charged, Manssor Arbabsiar and Gholam Shakuri, are connnected to the Quds Force, a division of the Revolutionary Guards, the power behind Iran's ruling mullahs. Arbabsiar was arrested and reportedly provided details of the plot, but Shakuri is still at large.
"In addition to holding these individual conspirators accountable for their alleged role in this plot, the United States is committed to holding Iran accountable for its actions," he said.
So what will the U.S. response be? How will the U.S. hold Iran accountable? By slapping on more economic sanctions? By rushing out a furious diplomatic cable?
Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. We should learn more about how complicit its leaders were in this attempt to stage a terrorist attack in the U.S. that would have targeted an ally and most likely claimed U.S. lives.
Iran continues to develop a nuclear program. It is a state sponsor of terrorism with a determination to go nuclear. Round after round of economic sanctions haven't deterred Iran, which is closer to atomic bomb-building capability. The Iranians may have conducted experimental work to develop warheads to deliver nuclear payloads.
And now, it appears, Iranian agents were plotting to launch an assault in Washington. The war has come home."
