The United States on Wednesday described Iran as the leading “funder of terrorism” instability in the region, as it condemed the missile strike in Pakistan carried out. US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller condemned Iran’s strikes on Pakistani soil, stated that Iran violated the sovereign borders of three of its neighbours.
He emphasized that Iran was the leading funder of instability in the region and asserted that the presence of American forces, with the support of the Iraqi Government, was crucial for counter-terrorism.
Miller also reiterated the US response against Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, “The US has taken action against the Houthis, which we have done as part of an international coalition and after a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning the Houthis for their attacks on commercial shipping.” The US has designated Yemen’s Houthis, backed by Iran, as ‘terrorist’.
“So we do condemn those strikes. We’ve seen Iran violate the sovereign borders of three of its neighbours in just the past couple of days,” Matthew Miller told reporters.
