US takes aim at Iran over support for Hamas military wing
2017-09-01
[IsraelTimes] Nikki Haley says Yahya Sinwar's statement that Tehran is 'biggest supporter' of terror group is 'stunning admission'
Gotcha!
The United States on Thursday described remarks by a Paleostinian Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", leader boasting of strong military ties with Iran as a "stunning admission" that showed Tehran was violating a UN ban on arms exports.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who heads the Paleostinian Islamist terrorist movement in Gazoo, told news hounds on Monday that Iran was the "biggest supporter" of Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

Iran is barred from exporting weapons under a key UN resolution that endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
"The Iranian military support to Hamas and al-Qassam is strategic," said Sinwar, adding that ties with Iran had "become fantastic and returned to its former era."

In a statement, the US mission to the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
 recalled that Iran is barred from exporting weapons under a key UN resolution that endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

"Once again, Iran is showing its true colors," said US Ambassador Nikki Haley
...first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
Iran must abide by UN resolutions or decide "whether it wants to be the leader of a jihadist terrorist movement," she added. "It’s long past time for the international community to hold Iran to the same standard that all countries who actually value peace and security are held to."

A strong supporter of Israel, Haley has repeatedly criticized Iran at the United Nations and cast doubt over its commitment to the nuclear deal.

The United States considers Hamas, which has fought three wars with Israel since 2008, a terrorist organization.
