by the way why not look at your source and see if you can find any proof for your claims ?
IRAN
Designated as a State Sponsor of
Terrorism in 1984, Iran remained
an active state sponsor of
terrorism in 2011 and increased
its terrorist-related activity, likely
in an effort to exploit the
uncertain political conditions
resulting from the Arab Spring,
as well as in response to
perceived increasing external
pressure on Tehran. Iran also
continued to provide financial,
material, and logistical support
for terrorist and militant groups
throughout the Middle East and
Central Asia. Iran was known to
use the Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-
QF) and terrorist insurgent
groups to implement its foreign
policy goals, provide cover for
intelligence operations, and
support terrorist and militant
groups. The IRGC-QF is the
regime's primary mechanism for
cultivating and supporting
terrorists abroad.
In 2011, the United States
discovered that elements of the
Iranian regime had conceived
and funded a plot to assassinate
Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to
the United States in Washington
D.C. Mansour Arbabsiar, an
Iranian-born U.S. dual-national
working on behalf of the IRGC-
QF, was arrested in September
2011 for his role in the plot; also
indicted in the case was an IRGC-
QF officer who remains at large.
Arbabsiar held several meetings
with an associate whom Iranian
officials believed was a narcotics
cartel member. This associate, in
fact, was a confidential source
for U.S. law enforcement. The
thwarted plot underscored anew
Iran's interest in using
international terrorism –
including in the United States –
to further its foreign policy goals.
Despite its pledge to support the
stabilization of Iraq, Iran
continued to provide lethal
support, including weapons,
training, funding, and guidance,
to Iraqi Shia militant groups
targeting U.S. and Iraqi forces, as
well as civilians. Iran was
responsible for the increase of
lethal attacks on U.S. forces and
provided militants with the
capability to assemble explosives
designed to defeat armored
vehicles. The IRGC-QF, in concert
with Lebanese Hizballah,
provided training outside of Iraq
as well as advisors inside Iraq for
Shia militants in the construction
and use of sophisticated
improvised explosive device
technology and other advanced
weaponry.
Qods Force provided training to
the Taliban in Afghanistan on
small unit tactics, small arms,
explosives, and indirect fire
weapons, such as mortars,
artillery, and rockets. Since 2006,
Iran has arranged arms
shipments to select Taliban
members, including small arms
and associated ammunition,
rocket propelled grenades,
mortar rounds, 107mm rockets,
and plastic explosives. Iran has
shipped a large number of
weapons to Kandahar,
Afghanistan, in particular, aiming
to increase its influence in this
key province.
During the wave of pro-
democracy demonstrations in
Syria, Iran provided weapons
and training to assist the Asad
regime in its brutal crackdown
that has resulted in the death of
more than 5,000 civilians. Iran
also continued to provide
weapons, training, and funding
to Hamas and other Palestinian
terrorist groups, including the
Palestine Islamic Jihad and the
Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine-General Command.
Since the end of the 2006 Israeli-
Hizballah conflict, Iran has
assisted in rearming Hizballah, in
direct violation of United Nations
Security Council Resolution 1701.
Iran has provided hundreds of
millions of dollars in support of
Hizballah in Lebanon and has
trained thousands of Hizballah
fighters at camps in Iran.
In 2011, Iran remained unwilling
to bring to justice senior AQ
members it continued to detain,
and refused to publicly identify
those senior members in its
custody. It also allowed AQ
members to operate a core
facilitation pipeline through
Iranian territory, enabling AQ to
carry funds and move facilitators
and operatives to South Asia and
elsewhere.
Since 2009, the Financial Action
Task Force (FATF) has called for
its members and the
international community to
institute countermeasures to
protect their respective financial
sectors as well as the global
financial system from the risks –
in particular the terrorist
financing threat – posed by Iran.
In October 2011, the FATF
strengthened its language and
again called for countermeasures
against Iran. Iran has had some
limited engagement regarding
anti-money laundering/
counterterrorist finance and has
responded to overtures by
multilateral entities such as the
UN's Global Programme against
Money Laundering.
