In a report this week, the state-run Raja News detailed Donilon’s background and added that he “has more extremist views on Iran and considers Iran to be the biggest threat for the US.”
It also said that in White House briefings, Mr. Donilon has supported more sanctions and punitive steps against the Iranian regime, recommending a comprehensive diplomatic push against Tehran.
Raja News added, “According to observers, the ascent of figures that view the Iranian government as a serious threat signals the manifestation of a more anti-Iran attitude in Obama’s policies.”
