US and Iran Conflict
Terrorism has always been a major challenge and a cause of economic crisis across the globe. America, for instance, has been in the spotlight over Terrorist attacks over decades. Acts of terror are barbaric actions that terrorists use by causing havoc to push their agenda through. Terrorism not only works because it causes fear in the masses, but because such actions trigger governments and targeted people to react in the ways that the terrorists intended. For instance, the Republicans Army of Irish bombed cars, parks, and pubs in the United Kingdom since their leadership knew that such attacks would prompt the British government to relinquish Northern Ireland. The Al-Qaeda similarly targeted the Pentagon and the world trade as a strategy to raise the American costs for supporting Saudi Arabia and Israel, and as a way to provoke America to respond with their military in order to mobilize Muslims around the globe.

America and Iran conflict present the latest related conflict between terrorists and governments. Terrorism is an act of malice, and targeted governments should never comply with their demands.
