U.S. Security Adviser Slams Iran's "Malign, Destructive" Regional Influence
(RadioFreeEurope-RadioLiberty) U.S. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told Alhurra television on Wednesday: "It's very difficult to see how there can be an enduring peace if one side that has perpetuated and accelerated the violence is not removed. So it's important for everyone in the region...to reduce the malign, destructive influence of Iran and the Revolutionary Guards Corps." McMaster said the Iranians have done a "very good job...of infiltrating and subverting Iraqi state institutions and functions, as well as creating these militias that lay outside the Iraqi government's control. They grow these militias...and threaten governments [in the region] with those militias if those governments take action against Iranian interests."
