London, Rajab 04, 1438, April 01, 2017, SPA -- Iran is continuing to behave as an exporter of terrorism and still sponsors militant activity, Reuters quoted U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis as saying in London on Friday. Asked about comments Mattis made in 2012 that the three primary threats the United States faced were "Iran, Iran, Iran," Mattis told reporters that Iran's behavior had not changed in the years since. "At the time when I spoke about Iran I was a commander of US central command and that (Iran) was the primary exporter of terrorism, frankly, it was the primary state sponsor of terrorism and it continues that kind of behavior today," Mattis said. -- SPA 00:33 LOCAL TIME 21:33 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w366726
