U.S. Warns Iran Against Missile Proliferation
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Iran will not escape punishment if it continues to proliferate technology for the production of sophisticated missiles in the region, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State David Satterfield said Wednesday at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. "We are concerned about Iran's willingness to proliferate destabilizing missile technology to regional proxies, to arm militias," Satterfield said. "We do not want to see any future proliferation of this technology, these sophisticated systems, anywhere; not in Yemen, and certainly not to Hizbullah. We are looking to every means we have to contain, restrain and ultimately roll back Iran's influence throughout the region. Iran's support for Assad's regime and Hizbullah is a profound threat of course to Israel, to the U.S. and all our common interests."
