Abstract

The appearance of terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, al-Nusra Front is the culmination of terrorism. Iran, particularly after the Islamic Revolution, has been subjected to brutal terrorist attacks. Based on the facts and figures, only due to the terrorist group Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) attacks, more than 16,000 people have been killed (www.infoplease.com). Additionally, the formation and activities of terrorist groups in recent years, especially in marginal areas and cross-borders has been caused many losses of life and property to people and government of Iran. This chapter addresses the history of terrorism in Iran, followed by an investigation of terrorist threats against Iran while examining the concept of terrorism in Iranian laws and regulations. Then, the chapter concludes with measures needed to be taken by Iran’s national security to counter-terrorism.
