Petraeus: Why the World Must Curb Iran
(Arab News-Saudi Arabia) Rawan Radwan - Gen. David Petraeus, who commanded U.S. and coalition forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan, told a security conference in Bahrain organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies on Friday: "I've been on battlefields where American, coalition and Iraqi soldiers have been killed by lethal weapons and ammunition provided by Iran, along with funding. Iran is a country...that pushes until there is firm pushback. I think that you are now seeing an American administration that is willing to push back very firmly." "Iran has continued its support for lethal activities in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and other places. It has continued the threatening missile program developments and a variety of different activities....Iran wants to 'Lebanonize' not just Lebanon, but Iraq, perhaps Syria, and other countries."
