Breitbart, the US news site, reported Monday that leaked e-mails from the Hillary Clinton campaign revealed that the presidential candidate had intended to tell the Brookings Institution that, “Countering Iran and defeating ISIS are not distinct missions – they are intimately related.”
However, after an intervention by campaign chairman, John Podesta, while Clinton confirmed that she supports “a military option” against Iran as a last resort, and accused Iran of propping up the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, she did not utter the line.
