West ‘needs to hold’ Islamic Republic of Iran regime to account: Liberal Senator

Liberal Senator Claire Chandler says the West needs to be doing everything it can to hold the Islamic Republic of Iran regime to account. Ms Chandler says the regime is the “root cause” of funding of groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah in the Middle East. “We need to be looking at the root cause of funding of Hamas and funding of Hezbollah and funding of Houthis,” she told Sky News Australia. “We know that the country that is doing that is the Islamic Republic of Iran regime. “We in the West need to be doing everything that we can to hold that regime to account – only then do I hope we can see a situation where we don’t see these terrorist proxies of that regime spreading violence in the region.”
