Tehran, Iran, Sep. 06 The Supreme Commander of Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps accused the Bush Administration and the Israeli security service Mossad of ordering the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington, DC.
The events of September 11 were ordered by U.S. [officials”> and Mossad so that they could carry out their strategy of pre-emption and warmongering and unipolarisation in order to dominate the Middle East, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi told military commanders on Tuesday. His comments were reported by the state-run news agency ISNA.
General Safavi said that Iran was the leading force of the Islamic world. The geographic heart of the Islamic world is in Mecca and Medina. But, the political heart of the Islamic world is in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei”> is the flag-bearer of the front of Islamic awakening and the fronts of the awakening of third world nations, he said.
He said that Washington had been defeated in its strategy of attacking Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon and creating a new order in the Middle East.
The U.S.s neo-conservative strategy was to dominate the vast energy resources of the Persian Gulf in order to be able to control Europe, China, and India and drive the world to a unipolar state. Therefore, it planned to change undesirable regimes such as those of Iraq, Sudan, Syria, and Afghanistan.
The IRGC general said that the Lebanese militia Hezbollah had defeated Israel during their recent war. After many years, the political and military image and hollow might of the Zionist regime was broken and the real power of Hezbollah fighters was proven. Thus, Hezbollah defeated Israel.
He described Washington and Tel Aviv as two inter-continental threats against Tehran. The U.S. must be livid at Iran because of its disgraceful defeats in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. Regarding [Irans”> nuclear dossier, it might try to create circumstances so that slowly but surely economic and political pressure is applied against Iran by the [United Nations”> Security Council.
He accused Washington of plotting a cultural attack on Tehran by setting up new radio and television stations broadcasting into Iran, supporting dissident groups, and stepping up intelligence operations. Therefore, the armed forces must be completely prepared in order to combat any forms of foreign and domestic threats, he said.
He charged that Britain and the U.S. were stirring ethnic and religious divisions in Iran, in particular in the provinces close to the countrys frontiers.
The IRGCs primary task is to export the Islamic revolution to Jerusalem via Baghdad.
Hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one of many officials who stem from the IRGC.
