Iran funding terrorist activities |
GD Online, Manama, 13 August 2015 - Alarm has been expressed after a study found that Iran allocates 65 per cent of its defence budget to fund terrorist activities in the region.
BDF chief of staff Major General Shaikh Daij bin Salman Al Khalifa voiced concern at the figure yesterday and called for the full picture about Tehran’s destabilising role to be revealed.
The figure originates from a study conducted by the American Action Forum, which said the nuclear agreement between Iran and the West could increase Iran’s defence budget by 5pc – and that of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) by 50pc.
