Iran:Ali Safavi: Iran regime uses sanctions money to spread terror

Dr. Ali Safavi

NCRI - On the meeting later today between United States Secretary of State John Kerry and the Iranian regime's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif in New York, Dr. Ali Safavi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Ira (NCRI) made the following remarks:

“As has been evident since the implementation of the nuclear deal between the P5+1 and the Iranian regime, Tehran uses the windfall from sanctions relief to spread terror, prop up Bashar al-Assad and step up repression at home. Unfreezing more assets will only incentivize the ruling clerics to pursue more of the same policies.”
