Abstract
Iran has been one of the world’s most persistent and active state sponsors of terrorism since its Islamic revolution in 1979, having debuted on the US State Department’s official list of such sponsors in 1984 and appeared every year since. But Tehran’s most recent inclination has been to confine its support for terrorism to the Middle East and Persian Gulf region. The reformist government’s desire for international political legitimacy, a more pragmatic tilt on the part of some members of the clerical establishment, and diminishing regional pretexts for terrorist sponsorship have tempered Iranian provocations.
