US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis lambasted Iran on Thursday for mucking around in Iraq's upcoming elections in a bid to sway votes towards pro-Tehran candidates. Speaking to reporters as he returned from a trip to Oman, Afghanistan and Bahrain, Mattis said officials he met with had expressed frequent concerns about Iranian behavior.
One thing that came through loud and clear is the suspicion of Iran and the evidence of Iranian destabilizing efforts, said Mattis, a longtime Iran hawk.
