The U.S. faces terror threats from across the globe, and Iran continues to be the foremost state sponsor of terrorism, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in testimony in a Senate hearing on Tuesday.
Clapper noted, even after implementation of the nuclear deal this year, the regime in Iran also poses a “continuing terrorist threat to U.S. interests and partners worldwide”.
“Iran continues to be the foremost state sponsor of terrorism and exerts its influence in regional crises in the Mideast, through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–Qods Force, its terrorist partner Lebanese Hezbollah, and proxy groups,” he said, reading from his submitted assessment.
