Top US Republicans support covert operations in Iran and Syria

Republican presidential candidates have openly supported “covert” operations against Syria and Iran as an effective way to achieve US goals. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich told the Republican Jewish Coalition on Wednesday he would use “covert capability” to replace the ruling regime in Tehran, AFP said. In Syria, he said the US should “indirectly and covertly” help the opposition topple the government. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney believes Washington should secretly help dissidents in Iran. Former senator Rick Santorum also supported “covert activity” to stop Tehran’s nuclear program.
