U.S. Says Iran's Support of Terrorism "Undiminished"
(Wall Street Journal) Felicia Schwartz - The State Department said Iran's support for terrorism was "undiminished" in 2014, and the U.S. remains very concerned about the activities of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and its proxies in the Middle East, according to its annual report on global terrorism, released Friday. Of particular concern was Iran's continued support of Hizbullah and its assistance to Syrian President Assad's regime. Tina Kaidanow, the State Department's coordinator for counterterrorism, said sanctions on Iran related to terrorism would remain in place even if a nuclear deal is reached.
