America has active terrorists within our borders (or so we are told) and we have a tough time stopping them. Now add in the fact that Iran is massive (roughly the size of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany combined) and much of the terrain is unpopulated and mountainous, it isn't hard to understand why Iran might not have the ability to control terrorist activities within its own borders.

Hell, there is a very large anti-government movement supported by the US that Iran can't even control (and many of them operate out of Tehran itself.)
