Rep. Mike Rogers: Iran Aiding, Arming Hezbollah and Hamas

‘You can’t just pick and choose one particular region. It has to work in concert’

Rogers: Iran Aiding, Arming Hezbollah and Hamas (Washington Free Beacon)

Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Mich.) on Sunday slammed the Obama administration for unfreezing $2.8 billion in Iranian assets, saying that money is being used to fund Hamas.

“Iran is publicly, in their own newspapers, touting the fact that they are helping to militarize Hamas in the Gaza Strip,” Rogers said on Face the Nation. “They’re supporting Hezbollah in the fight in Syria and supplying Hamas in the Gaza Strip with weapons.”

The White House announced last week that it would give Iran access to the money in order to continue nuclear talks through November.
