NCRI – A former commander in chef of the US Pacific Fleet said in an op-ed piece in the Washington Times on Thursday that, “The latest information I have is that the illegitimate Khamenei-Ahmadinejad regime is coming apart from within.”
Retired Navy Adm. James A. Lyons was commander in chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and senior U.S. military representative to the United Nations.
He said, “Iran has been treated as a “sanctuary” from which it openly continues to conduct acts of state-sponsored terrorism against the United States and also train, equip and lead through proxies and the Quds Force the adversaries we are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
He also underscored “the truck bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in October 1983, with the loss of 241 of our finest military personnel.”
“We have proof positive that the orders came from the Iranian Foreign Ministry to the Iranian ambassador in Damascus,” Admiral Lyons said.
