October 18 may turn out to be a day which will live in infamy.
The falling of the conventional arms embargo against Iran is not just dangerous because of the SU-30 attack aircraft and defensive S-400 anti-aircraft missile system, which Iran may now purchase from Russia.
It is not just dangerous because it legalizes and could streamline weapons deals between the Islamic Republic and its proxies in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.
What may be most dangerous about the lifting of the arms embargo is that it could permanently disconnect the issue of Iranian terror from the issue of the ayatollahs obtaining nuclear weapons.
A major premise of the Obama administration’s 2015 nuclear deal with Iran was that separating the issues in the short and medium term was a good thing.
