US Centcom commander proposes striking Iran's regime, military forces
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. March 30, 2017, 3:12 PM (IDT)
Gen. Joseph Votel, head of the US military's Central Command, stated Wednesday during testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee that Iran not only causes instability in the Middle East but also poses one of the greatest threats to the US in the world. “We need to look at opportunities where we can disrupt (Iran) through military means”, he said, adding that there were more than 300 instances in 2016 alone in which Iran harrassed US and other ships in international waters near its shores. However, he emphasized that “Our concern is not with the people of Iran, it is with their revolutionary government.”
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
