/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran represents most threat to the US, stated US
State Secretary Condoleezza Rice in Senate today. She accused Teheran
in supporting terrorism. Thereupon Rice said it is necessary to expand
the coalition of countries, which object against Teheran’s terrorist
activities. In her words, the international community should not limit
itself to discussion of the nuclear problem only. “We should think
with wider categories and consider also what Iran does to support
terrorism,” she said.

Accusing Teheran in destabilizing situation in Iraq, Rice did not
conceal US is going to influence domestic affairs in Iraq. She
specifically said US has tools necessary for that. “We also have
a number of tools, that allow exacerbating contradictions between
Iran’s people and regime,” Rice said. The US State Secretary
explained the point concerns efforts to support democracy in
Iran. The Bush Administration had earlier requested $75 million as
additional allocation to that end in 2006. The money is to be spent
on strengthening radio and TV broadcasts in Iran, expanding contacts
of Iranian people with the external world, etc.
