US State Dept survey reveals Iran is ‘leading state sponsor of terror
An annual survey on global terrorism by the US State Department ranks Iran as the “leading state sponsor of terror” for the umpteenth time.
The survey quips that Iran has funding networks and operational cells working around the world to unleash terror and also admonishes Tehran for assisting ‘terrorists’ as attacks down for second year in a row.
According to Nathan Sales, the department’s coordinator for counterterrorism, Iran linked fundraising networks in West Africa, weapons caches in South America, and operational activity in Europe show the Islamic Republic “has no reservations about using [terrorism] on any continent”.
“Iran remains the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and is responsible for intensifying multiple conflicts and undermining US interests in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Bahrain, Afghanistan and Lebanon,” Sales told reporters on Wednesday.
However, Iran has constantly maintained that its activities support oppressed people throughout the Middle East.
