The State Department’s global terrorist threat assessment for 2021 ReportThe most recent version of the report is now publicly available. It provides an accurate account of Iran’s growing terrorist activities in the first year of the Biden administration. According to the report, Iran was able to support terror plots in Africa, Asia and Europe with more cash resources. Eight terror groups that the United States had designated as terrorists in Iran were also supported by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran also provided “weapons and support” To the Taliban in 2021. This was the same year that the Biden administration managed a botched evacuation from Afghanistan that resulted the terror group’s re-election to power.
Ex-officials and experts from the United States claim that the Biden administration’s earlier diplomacy with Iran fueled its support for terrorism.
“The State Department’s latest admissions about Iran’s terror activity make clear that Biden’s negotiations with Tehran empowered the regime to supercharge their terror plots—with zero pushback or accountability,” Gabriel Noronha was a senior Iran advisor at the State Department under the Trump administration. Free Beacon. “Worse, they looked the other way at Iranian attacks and sanctions evasion, allowing the regime to raise tens of billions of dollars to destabilize Iraq and conduct dozens of attacks against our servicemembers and citizens there.”
Reports also stated that Iranian-backed militias were operating in Iraq, as well as other terrorist forces. “more than 100 IED attacks” The U.S. coalition against ISIS. These fighters also “launched at least 40 indirect fire attacks against U.S. interests in Iraq,” According to the State Department.

Behnam Ben Taleblu is an Iran analyst at Foundation for Defense of Democracies think-tank. He said that the State Department’s findings showed that. “holding the door open for the [nuclear deal] as actively as the Biden administration did throughout 2021 and easing off the sanctions pressure it inherited from the Trump administration makes zero strategic sense.”
Tehran spent most 2021 supporting the terrorist network known under the name of the “Axis of Resistance,” Taleblu. “This trend is a sign of increasing confidence by Tehran that its export of terror will not be countered.”
The State Department confirmed that, following the Taliban’s capture, the State Department had determined that there was no way to prevent the Taliban from gaining control. “potential for WMD trafficking and proliferation in Afghanistan remained a concern.” This finding shows how the Biden administration’s botched evacuation allowed Afghanistan to be a safe haven to terror groups like ISIS.
