Fact check: Trump falsely claims Iran didn’t fund terror groups when he was president | CNN Politics

It would be easier to track the times he tells the truth.

Breaking News: Pathological Liar Lies Again!

He'll say literally anything to make himself look better, and his base will east it up because it makes them feel good. There's almost no point in pointing this out because the people who need to hear it most will utterly ignore it, which is a damn shame.

“Falsely Claimed”

Hey thanks for being subservient shitheels, cnn. Thanks for stabbing actual journalism in the face. Bastards.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Earlier that week, during a visit to Israel, Pompeo told reporters that the Trump administration’s effort to limit the money the Iranian regime has available to inflict harm around the world “has borne fruit, it has been successful,” but added, “We’re going to stay at it.

There is still work to do on that file as well.” He said, “Even during this pandemic, the Iranians [are] using the ayatollahs’, the regime’s, resources to foment terror across the world even when the people of Iran are struggling so mightily.”

Hook declined in June 2020 to publicly say how much less money Iran was spending on foreign activities than it had before Trump launched the pressure campaign, but he pointedly noted media reports about Iranian proxies receiving less than they had before.

In 2019, The Washington Post published an in-depth report explaining that, because Iran’s financial situation had been worsened by Trump policy, Hezbollah had “seen a sharp fall in its revenue and is being forced to make draconian cuts to its spending, according to Hezbollah officials, members and supporters.” Reuters published a report in 2020 about how Iran had slashed its payments to Shiite militia groups in Iraq because of the impact of the US sanctions and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Regionally, Iran supported proxies and partner groups in Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, including Hizballah and Hamas,” the report, released in 2021, said.

Globally, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force remained the primary Iranian actors involved in supporting terrorist recruitment, financing, and plots across Europe, Africa, and Asia, and both Americas.”
