Iraq experienced the most attacks last year, amid its struggle against the so-called Islamic State. There were 2,418 incidents in Iraq with nearly 7,000 fatalities. The report found that Iran remains the primary state sponsor of terrorism, providing a range of support, including financial, training, and equipment, to groups around the world.
