Iran exporting terrorism to more than a dozen countries: General James

WASHINGTON : Describing Iran as the "most significant threat' to regional stability, a top American commander has accused Tehran of carrying out clandestine activities in more than a dozen countries including India.

An Iranian miscalculation raises the risk of sparking disastrous conflict, General James Mattis commander of the US Central Command, told members of the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee during a congressional hearing.

"Iran remains the single most significant, regional threat to stability and prosperity. Its reckless behavior and bellicose rhetoric characterise a leadership that cannot win the affection of its own people or respect of any responsible nation in the region," he said on Tuesday.

He added that Iran continues to support the murderous Assad regime in Syria coupled with its malign activities in India, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Bahrain, Yemen, Gaza, Sudan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Thailand, Georgia, Bulgaria, Nigeria. "In Washington DC it attempted to kill the Saudi ambassador and elsewhere in the world, as well as in the cyber-domain, raise the risk of Iranian miscalculation that could spark a disastrous conflict," he said.

Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said that all options, including military options, need to remain on the table and preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is not only a US policy but US is determined to achieve its policy goal.
