“Iran has worked aggressively to train, arm, supply, guide, and direct thousands of Shias and Sunnis throughout the Middle East, from Lebanon to Afghanistan and to Yemen,” said Norman Roule, a senior adviser to United Against Nuclear Iran, a non-profit, bi-partisan advocacy group. “Iran basically puts very few of its own people at risk,” Roule told Kurdistan 24 earlier this week, after speaking at an Atlantic Council seminar on the “Middle East after the Iran Deal.”
