Writes Gary Barnett:

"In my [LRC] article today 'The Fear-Mongering Pandemic!,' I said that Iran had not started a war against another country for 'hundreds of years.' P.M. Lawrence, an LRC contributor, reminded me that Iran did indeed attack Russia in 1826. Fath 'Ali Shah did rely on the advice of British agents, who pressed him to re-conquer territories lost to Russia 13 years earlier, but an undeclared war did take place. See here. I’m sorry for the error."
