A fall by almost a quarter in the number of attacks by armed groups worldwide last year.
That’s one of the conclusions of the US State Department’s latest annual survey of global terrorism
But Iran won’t welcome another of the survey’s highlights.
The Americans single out the Iranians as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Iran’s accused of intensifying many conflicts especially in Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen.
And continued backing for militias such as Hezbollah.
The US government says Hezbollah fighters based in Lebanon have gone from strength to strength, emboldened by their battlefield experience in Syria.
And the Americans accuse Iran of undermining legitimate governments and American interests in the Middle East.
So, what now for the so-called global war on terror?

  3. Money to finance Terrorist have gone into the swamp for their own benefits. Bankrupcy in financiers is at it's highest peak.

    U will know who is making Terrorist, and Our Saud family is also partner with Pakistan in this USA played Israel created through Mossad Fight against Terrorist game , and they keep paving every day through their Jew western Propaganda Media.
    Wwiii.

  6. The ruling elites do not need to pull off too many false flags to cause paranoia and general acceptance of higher military spending, e.g. the Gulf of Tonkin false flag led to the slaughter of 3 million Vietnamese.

  8. After viewing some comments there needs some light on it let us recollect on the 1400 old history middle East,Africa,Europe and few hundred years history of India more particularly how how Muslim religion was thurst,what crueality they adopted .Did they needed American and Western interference to do it.what America is doing to prevent or happening in their homeland before it is too late.

  10. What reason because all terror attacks???
    You all know what the reason is
    Its the western government especially usa and israel who raise havook in the middle east with the newest military attacks on civilians . So if you are bombed back to the stone age and you don't got same weapons as the aggressor's israel and united states you take the easiest way to strike back so they fill up with explosives and goes to attack just as the Israeli and the american does but they do it in a quiet and advanced bombing and murdering that's the only difference between two parties who both are murderers. And that's the real reasons why terror attacks takes place STOP BOMB MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES AND THEY WILL STOP BEFORE USA AND ISRAEL STARTED TO OOCCUPY THE MIDDLE EAST THERE WAS NO TERROR ATTACKS AND THATS A FACT. SO SEND BACK THE WESTERN MURDER COUNTRIES HOME AND THE WEST WILL BE SAFE AND THATS THE TRUTH PERIOD!!!!!
