Defense Secretary Mattis: Iran “primary exporter of terrorism”

Iran, Iran, Iran– Iran continues to be the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism, the U.S. Secretary of Defense said on Friday. Speaking in London, James Mattis recalled a 2012 statement in which he said that the three gravest threats to American national security were “Iran, Iran, Iran” and told reporters, “At the time when I spoke about Iran I was a commander of US central command and [saying] that (Iran) was the primary exporter of terrorism, frankly, it was the primary state sponsor of terrorism and it continues that kind of behavior today.”
