IBTimes: Iran supporter of 'terrorist related activity', finds US State Department
Iran continued to support "terrorist-related activity", as well as providing broad military support to President Assad of Syria, said the US State Department in its annual report on global terrorism.
Palestinian terror groups, Lebanese Shia militia Hezbollah, as well as groups in Iraq continued to receive Iranian backing, according to the report.
It described Iran's elite Quds Force as the country's main means "for cultivating and supporting terrorists abroad".
Neither the election of President Hassan Rouhani, regarded as a moderate who has sought rapprochement with the West, not the prospect of a nuclear deal which would see economic sanctions eased, has affected Iran's involvement in conflict in the Middle East, the report suggests.
