That this regime will continue to export terror and foments sectarian violence to accomplish their political objectives around Iraq, in Syria, in Yemen and in Lebanon. And countries that use terror to achieve their political objectives are threats, not only to their internal populations but to the international community at large.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
