Make the case. Put forward proof. Put forward the truth.
Western democracies, especially those in Europe, will act on proof presented to them that is real and credible. They do not want the blood of innocent people on their hands. Where there is US involvement, the US military will bring about charges and trials, but, there has to be credible proof. When forensics are applied to fragments of bomb materials the proof takes shape. Was it primitive or sophisticated? Was it something a particular source provides for bomb making? All those aspects have to be satisfied and the Western countries will respond in kind. No European country wants terrorists of any kind living within their borders.
Iran is going to have to reach out to the countries it believes might be harboring these terrorists and secure their trials with proof that is real and irrefutable. Iran always thinks of The West as distant and unwilling to provide justice, but, that is not the case at all. President Rouhani has to develop expertise to satisfy courts to change persons with terrorism and murders. It can be done and it should be done.
Iran has to stop simply pointing a finger and join the real world of science that clearly defines a criminal. Iran has the brain trust to do this.

Tehran — Iran’s president on Sunday (click here) accused an unnamed U.S.-allied country in the Persian Gulf of being behind a terror attack on a military parade that killed 25 people and wounded 60, further raising regional tensions.
Hassan Rouhani's comments came as Iran's Foreign Ministry also summoned Western diplomats over them allegedly providing havens for the Arab separatists who claimed Saturday's attacks in the southwestern city of Ahvaz.
The Iranian moves, as well as promises of revenge by Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard, come as the country already faces turmoil in the wake of the American withdraw from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers. The attack in Ahvaz, which saw women and children flee with uniformed soldiers bloodied, has further shaken the country....
..."All of those small mercenary countries that we see in this region are backed by America. It is Americans who instigate them and provide them with necessary means to commit these crimes," Rouhani said before leaving for the U.N. General Assembly in New York....
Iran cannot spin the war against Daesh into a larger war. I realize there is a large Shia diaspora, but, there needs to be better outcomes for these people than conducting killing for the sake of some kind of land grab. That is basically what has occurred with Yemen's Houthis and Saudi Arabia. When looking at Syria, the outcomes are not good. Land grabs by the Ayatollah is not a military strategy, it is a method to increase war. War does not equate to land for the people, it simply equates to war.
The Ayatollah should be addressing the needs and future of the Shia people and not simply launching into munition delivery or military attacks that temporarily provide a meager victory. The dismantling and destruction of Daesh was magnificent and the entire region braced to end that horrible regime. But, continuing in war is not solving any problems, but, simply making a bigger one for Iran.
...The number of worldwide terrorist attacks (click here) dropped by 23 percent last year compared with 2016, according to the report, a change largely due to gains against the Islamic State group in Iraq. The number also had declined in 2016 over the previous year....
