Two jihadist attacks were carried out on Thursday. That makes four since the start of March — that is, since U.S. and Israeli forces commenced the aerial invasion intended to finish the jihadist war the Iranian regime has been waging, mainly through proxies it controls and inspires, since 1979. (See our editorial regarding the four recent attacks, and our editorial regarding the March 1 attack in Austin.)

At this early stage, we don’t know if any of these attacks was triggered by the war. Thursday’s two are intriguing in that regard.
