"Still, I am not convinced that the world understands the power of the terror which the Iranians bring, on a global scale."</p> <p>Haliwa also emphasized that Iran is advancing in its plans to enrich uranium, noting that "the world is not taking effective steps" to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power.</p>
