Iran is involved in Arab riots: Clinton

.- The Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that Iran is in direct or indirect contact with opposition groups in Egypt, Bahrain and Yemen, with the intent to influence the outcome of the riots in Arab countries. "They are doing everything possible to influence the outcome in these places," said Clinton before the Senate Appropriations Committee.

According to Clinton, Iran is using (the Islamic movement) Hezbollah to communicate with their counterparts (of the Palestinian movement) Hamas, which in turn communicates with his counterparts from Egypt. " "We know they are reaching out to the opposition in Bahrain, we know that the Iranians are deeply involved in opposition movements in Yemen," said the diplomat.

"So directly or through representatives, are constantly trying to influence events. They have a very active foreign policy," he added.
