Alwaght - The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran have been imposed on the West Asian region to distract Muslims’ attention away
from the atrocities of the Israeli regime.
Ayatollah
Khamenei also dismissed alignment and partnership of Iran and the US in
regional developments, saying the two states are pursuing fully opposite policies
in the region.
"The
Islamic Republic of Iran's policies in the region are the extreme opposite to
those of the global arrogance," Iran's Supreme Leader said in a meeting
with a group of Iranian officials and ambassadors of the Muslim countries in Tehran
on Saturday, on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy Muslim
fasting month of Ramadan.
Ayatollah
Khamenei pointed to the US diplomacy in Iraq, and said, "The global
arrogance policy in Iraq is aimed at toppling the government which has been
elected by people's vote, stirring conflict between the Shiites and the Sunnis
and eventually disintegrating Iraq, but the Islamic Republic of Iran's policies
towards Iraq are aimed at supporting and strengthening the popular government,
standing against those who stir civil war differences and maintaining Iraq's
territorial integrity."
Ayatollah Khamenei further said, “If the
Islamic Ummah were united and relied on their own commonalities, they would
certainly be a unique power in the international political scene but big powers
have imposed such divisions on the Islamic Ummah to pursue their own interests
and safeguard the Zionist regime.”
The
Leader added that certain incompetent officials in Muslim countries
support the “illegitimate” Israeli regime, noting that arrogant powers created
“criminal” terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and the ISIS.
“Iran
has no trust in the US because American politicians are completely dishonest
and unfair,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
He
stressed the importance of reinforcing unity among Muslim nations, and said
Shiite and Sunni Muslims have long coexisted peacefully in the region.
As regards
Syria, the Leader reiterated that the arrogant countries' policy in Syria is
imposition of a will beyond the nation's will and toppling the government that
has resolutely and explicitly resisted against the Zionist regime, but the
Islamic Republic of Iran supports the government in Syria that has the motto,
goal and intention of standing up to the Zionists.
Ayatollah
Khamenei underlined that Iran is not seeking its own interests in regional
issues concerning Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Bahrain, and said, “With
regard to regional issues like Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Bahrain, the
Islamic Republic of Iran does not pursue its own interests but it believes that
the main decision-makers in these counties are the nations and others have
no right to interfere and make decisions.”
Ayatollah
Khamenei pointed to arrogant powers’ policies on Yemen, saying the US is
supporting the Arab country's fugitive former president who left the country at
a sensitive juncture .
He added
that arrogant powers also seek to overthrow a popular government in Iraq, sow
discord among Muslims and divide the country, but the Islamic Republic’s policy
vis-a-vis its western neighbor is based on supporting a democratic government,
resisting factors of civil wars and defending Iraq’s territorial integrity.
Arrogant
powers intend to oust the Syrian government which is strongly resisting the
Israeli regime, the Leader said, adding that Iran considers an anti-Zionist
country as useful for the Muslim world.
Ayatollah
Khamenei once again reaffirmed Iran’s support for the Lebanese resistance
movement due to its bravery and genuine resistance against aggressive powers.
“The
Americans dub the Lebanese resistance as terrorist and regard Iran as a
supporter of terrorism because of its support for the Lebanese Hezbollah,
while the Americans, themselves, are real terrorists who have created ISIS and
support the wicked Zionists,” the Leader said.
Ayatollah
Khamenei further pointed to the latest round of nuclear talks between Iran and
the P5+1 group of countries in Vienna, and called on the Iranian nation to
remain united because the negotiators are pursuing national interests
