Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , accused Iran that it has been supporting Iraqi insurgents in Basra. Thus, violating the Iranian promises of reducing support for terrorism both in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“The Iranian government pledged to halt such activities some months ago. It’s plainly obvious they have not. Indeed, they seem to have gone the other way,” he said. “In these last couple years, you know, that tensions continue to rise, Iran does not respond, and in fact they seem to be ratcheting it up in terms of their support for terrorism.”
He also went on to say that besides giving financial and weapon aid to Iraqi insurgents, Iran also trains them as well.
