Allawi: ".. Iran is trying to wreak havoc on the region .."

Via Friday-Lunch-Club

"... on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS." We know that unfortunately Iran is trying to wreak havoc on the region, and trying to destabilize the region by destabilizing Iraq, and destabilizing Lebanon and destabilizing the Palestinian issue," Allawi said.The region is "falling victim" to terrorist groups backed financially by Iran, he said........."Definitely in Iraq I can say categorically that Iran is trying even to bring about change to the political process according to their wishes and requirements," Allawi said. Zakaria asked Allawi if he suspected that a group backed by Iran was responsible for last week's roadside bombing that killed four members of his Iraqiya party. Allawi didn't assign blame to Iran, but said that there are many forces trying to influence the situation in Iraq. Other countries in the Middle East are supportive of a strong, stable Iraq, he said. "I don't believe that there are leaders in the region who are trying to fuel extremism and bring about sectarianism. Unfortunately, only Iran," Allawi said...."
