THE United States fears what one country will
do even more than North Korea, an adviser to President Donald Trump has warned.
Rudy Giuliani, the ex-Mayor of
New York, warned Iran is the country’s biggest fear right now.
Speaking
after a conference in Paris earlier this month, he said the nation poses a
greater threat than both Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin.
Mr
Giuliani was attending a rally in Paris organised by the
People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI), which is the largest
and most active opposition movement to the regime.
The
Paris-based group supports a totally secular political system in the hardline
Islamic country.
Mr Giuliani said: “Iran is our biggest enemy,
Iran is our fiercest enemy. It is the greatest danger to freedom in the world.
“Our long term danger is Iran.
“Iran [is] a bigger threat than North Korea,
it is expanding into an empire. North Korea is contained.
“They have more technological capability and
they have what is truly an insane regime.
“In North Korea, we’re not sure about Kim
Jong-un and we do have the hope that China can contain him.”
Tensions between the US and North
Korea are at an all time high.
The
secretive state has repeatedly threatened to blast the US with nuclear weapons,
with supreme leader Kim even saying it would be a "piece of cake" to drop a
nuke on the country.
But
Mr Giuliani, who was Mayor of New York at the time of the September 11
terror attacks, warned the Iranian regime’s downfall can’t be brought about via
military action.
He
said it would happen through a civilian revolution within the Middle Eastern
superpower, which the United States can only help bring about through economic
sanctions.
“The [regime change] needs to happen from
within. How did the regime change in the Soviet Union or Poland or in the Czech
Republic? No army came in.
"The people finally rose up and they were
just too much for the military to contain,” he explained.
