Comment: The following from an Iranian news source-they now use words they think resonate with Americans-what gall!
Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani said on Saturday some US allies in the Middle East have dispatched terrorists to Iraq. Speaking in an exclusive interview with the Doha-based Al-Jazeera television, Larijani asked, “Why doesn’t the US confront these terrorists? I have confirmed information that the US Central Intelligence Agency and some regional intelligence agencies support these terrorists. Of course, we have done our best to calm the situation in Iraq.“
Commenting on political conditions in Iraq, Larijani pointed out that the Iraqi strategy is based on democracy, but some countries do not care about Iraq’s democracy.
He conceded that some mistakes might be made in using democratic tactics.
“An Arab leader said the present Iraqi leaders are US stooges, while he himself has close relations with American officials,“ he said.
Larijani pointed out that calling Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki a US mercenary is wrong.
“Al-Maliki’s past is a clear indication of what he really is,“ he added.
Commenting on claims that Iraq’s incumbent leaders are affiliated to Iran, he said none of them is close to Iran.
“The point is that when the executed Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, killed the Iraqi people and the West provided him with chemical weapons, these people did not have any other place to go other than Iran and Syria. Al-Maliki was not in Iran at that time, as he was in Syria,“ he said.
Asked whether Iran’s reaction to an anti-Iran resolution will be to quit the Non-Proliferation Treaty, he denied by saying other options are available for confronting such a resolution.
On the West’s concern about Iran continuing its uranium enrichment activities, Larijani said as long as Iran’s nuclear activities are supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency, no one should be concerned about them.
“I think the Americans are troublemakers and if they have a problem with Iran’s nuclear activities, we have offered them the option of dialogue,“ he said.
