US provides physical evidence of Iranian complicity in terror attacks

Washington Times:

The Trump administration offered what it called “concrete evidence” Thursday of Iranian complicity in terrorist attacks, including a missile said to have been sent from the Islamic republic to rebels in Yemen, then used in last month’s attack on the main civilian airport in Saudi Arabia.

Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said the missile was just one piece of an array of evidence of illegal Iranian behavior that the American government is making public while the administration seeks to further isolate the government in Tehran.

The missile and other weapons were being put on display at a warehouse in Washington so members of Congress, the press and representatives of foreign governments could inspect them and hopefully reach the same conclusion as President Trump that Iran is violating U.N. resolutions.

“Now they actually see that the president was right. Now they see that, yes, there are problems,” said Mrs. Haley, standing in front of the missile she said bore unmistakable markings of Iranian origin.

The missile was fired at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh early last month but was intercepted before it struck the airport. Saudi officials blamed Houthi rebels in Yemen for firing the weapon and at the time said it was a Yemeni-made missile.

But Mrs. Haley said the markings and design of the missile proved conclusively that it was Iranian-made and sent to the rebels.

“The evidence is undeniable. The weapons might as well have had ‘Made in Iran‘ stickers,” she said.

Putting the missile and other weapons fragments on display was a striking move that seemed designed to force other countries to confront Iran as a malicious actor in the Middle East. Mrs. Haley said evidence of Tehran’s meddling can also be found in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.

“It’s hard to find a conflict or a terrorist group in the Middle East that does not have Iran’s fingerprints all over it,” she said.

Iran continues to deny it is responsible for the weapons and their use.  But the physical evidence is what it is and it also raises further questions about what Iran would do with its nuclear program.  Those who support Obama's bad deal argue that Iran's use of conventional weapons doesn't mean they would do it with nukes, but experience says otherwise.
