Iran not backing down in Middle East, US intel report says
The Trump administration's maximum pressure campaign did not stop Tehran's ambitions in the region, ODNI report suggests.
Iran’s government is likely to continue to challenge Washington’s influence in the Middle East and pursue espionage within the United States in the coming years, according to an intelligence report newly released by the Biden administration.
Despite — or perhaps because of — US pressure on Tehran, the Iranian government is likely to continue seeking to build and maintain influence in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan, according to the report.
