U.S Iran Worst State Sponsor of Terror
(U.S. State Department) According to the State Department's latest Country Reports on Terrorism 2018, published on Nov. 1, Iran "has spent nearly one billion dollars per year to support terrorist groups that serve as its proxies and expand its malign influence across the globe...[including] Hizbullah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It also has engaged in its own terrorist plotting around the world, particularly in Europe." "Furthermore, Tehran continued to allow an al-Qaeda facilitation network to operate in Iran, which sends fighters and money to conflict zones in Afghanistan and Syria, and it has extended sanctuary to al-Qaeda members residing in the country."
