US STRATEGIES AGAINST IRAN DEFEATED: COMMANDER
IRNA
APRIL 13, 2012
Tehran
Tehran, April 13, IRNA - US strategies against the Islamic Republic
of Iran were defeated, Commander of Iranian Army's Ground Forces
Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said on Friday.
He made the remarks in his address to Tehran Friday prayers before
the first sermon of Friday prayers.
"US preemptive operation to dominate Middle East and control Asian
powers including Iran was failed and defeated."
"Washington changed its strategy toward Iran to soft war after
understanding Iran's military power; the exit of US forces from Iraq
which was one of the results of ongoing regional anti-American Islamic
Awakening, entangled Zionist regime and arrogant powers and forced
Washington to change strategy again," he added.
Pourdastan noted that after the fall of the former Soviet Union,
the US officials who supposed themselves as leaders of the new world
were warned by their research centers to be cautious about the birth
of new powers.
"Muslim world as well as Shanghai Cooperation Organization have been
called as the new rivals for US leadership in the world; September
11 event as an excuse to occupy Afghanistan and later Iraq and other
efforts of Washington is because it wants to dominate the world energy
resources in rivalry with emerging powers."
"Sanctions could not affect Iranian army's commitment to progress
forward; Iranian army modernized its equipment based on latest
international standards; Iranian defense power is at the service of
regional and international peace, however, it is ready for the worst
in any possible confrontation."
Since the beginning of 2011, the Muslim world has witnessed popular
uprisings and revolutions similar to what happened in Iran in 1979.
Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular
revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which
toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have since
been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who
have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their
critics.
Bahrain, however, has experienced the deadliest clashes.
Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations
across Bahrain since mid-February, calling for an end to the Al
Khalifa dynasty's over-40-year rule.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March with organized
attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border
guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have
been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups
for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated
from abroad.
In October, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after
President Bashar al-Assad started a reform initiative in the country,
but the US and Zionist regime plots could spark some new unrests in
certain parts of the country.
