NCRI, 02 July 2011 – In his last day in office as U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates said that the Iranian regime is furnishing new weapons, military training and technologies to extremist violent groups who intend to kill more and more people, Bloomberg reported.
Gates who will be succeeded by Leon Panetta, told Bloomberg that there are no doubts that these weapons are all made in Iran.
 
In a new pattern for meddling into the affairs of countries in the region, the Iranian regime is furnishing extremists groups with newer and more deadly weapons. Gates added: “About 40 percent of the deaths of American soldiers since the official end of U.S. combat operations almost 10 months ago have occurred in the past few weeks as a result of the attacks,” Bloomberg reported.
The Iranian regime is arming these groups who are intent on “killing as many as possible in order to demonstrate to the Iraqi people that, in effect, they drove us out of Iraq at the end of the year,” Gates said.
According to Bloomberg, the defense secretary said he still believes the Iranian regime is “intent on building an atomic weapon” and is “getting closer.”
Gates added: If the Iranian regime gets so close to be able to quickly assemble a nuclear weapon, then “you have to assume that they have the weapons themselves.”

Iranian exiles opposed to the Mullahs cannot return to Iran, where many of their families still live, as they would face inevitable
imprisonment. Many believe that the internal struggles between the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and president Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad will severely weaken the regime.
The PMOI was dropped from the European Union’s list of terrorist organisations in 2009. The US, Canada, Iraq and Iran still consider them to be terrorists, because of past operations carried out by the group before they renounced violence in 2001.
