Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Bush Accuses Iran of Arming Militias in Iran

HeadlineMay 13, 2008

Bush also repeated his criticism of Iran over its alleged role in arming Shiite militias in Iraq.

President Bush: “They know that the Iraqi government, along with the US government, wants them to stop sending their weapons from Iran into Iraq, all aiming to kill innocent people. That’s what they’re doing. They’re being very — you know, they’re not being constructive at all. But they absolutely know our position, and when we catch them doing it, they’ll be brought to justice, and we are catching them doing it right now.”
