Iran and Hamas are United in Their Desire to Wreak Havoc in the Region
(Huffington Post) Daniel L. Glaser interviewed by Joseph Braude - Iran supports terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East and beyond. Iran has long had a foreign policy based on trying to destabilize governments and project power throughout the region. Support for terrorist organizations such as Hizbullah or Hamas gives Iran the opportunity to do just that. Hamas has traditionally been able to look to the Gulf for financial support. But in recent years, Saudi Arabia has taken a hard line against Hamas financing and has done that in cooperation with the U.S. There are so many areas that Israel and the Gulf countries can and should be cooperating in, and in many ways they already are. Daniel L. Glaser served as U.S. Assistant Treasury Secretary for Terrorist Financing from 2011 to 2017.
