The latest Iran-feared efforts of the current commander of Centcom

According to the C-Span network, McKenzie on Friday in repeated statements in line with his country’s policy of Iranophobia, claimed that Tehran is the biggest threat to security and stability in the region.

The commander of Centcom accused Iran of providing weapons to weaken local governments at a virtual conference at the US Department of Defense.

Before leaving the post of US Central Command on April 1, he claimed that the threat of Iranian ballistic missiles continued.

“Over the past year, Iran has used these weapons to attack and seize merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the Gulf of Oman and Iran,” McKenzie said. North of the Arabian Sea has used.

Noting that the United States has increased its air defense cooperation with its allies, particularly Israel, the US commander said he was seeking to exploit an agreement to normalize relations between Israel and several Arab countries such as Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

“Although these agreements are still in their infancy, we have seen the desire of traditional regional allies to cooperate in training with the Israeli army,” he told a meeting of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Air defense is a great opportunity for cooperation.

McKenzie said the first step was to share information to improve anti-missile systems against Iran, adding that co-operation in this area could progress in the coming years.

Centcom operates in 21 countries, including North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South Asia.
