Spokesman Dismisses US Allegations against IRGC in Iraq, Afghanistan
TEHRAN (FNA)- An Iranian foreign ministry spokesman categorically denied the allegations raised by the US about the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)'s involvement in the supply of weaponries to the Iraqi and Afghan insurgents, calling the claims as "big lies".
"The issues raised by the Americans and their allegations that the IRGC supplies weapons to different groups in Iraq and Afghanistan and stirs insecurity is a big lie," Ramin Mehman-Parast told reporters on Tuesday.
Mehman-Parast reiterated that Americans, who are in critical conditions in both Iraq and Afghanistan and seek to prolong their presence in these two war-torn countries, attempt to project the blame on others in an effort to divert the public opinion from their failures and find a way and pretext for continuing their military buildups in the region.
The foreign ministry spokesman stressed that the regional nations will no more bear the military presence of occupiers in their countries, and called for the immediate pullout of foreign forces from the region.
Most regional countries, including Iran, have on numerous occasions asked for the withdrawal of foreign forces from the region, describing it as the only way to restore peace and security in this part of the world.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in August that withdrawal of American forces from the region is the only way for US President Barack Obama to prove he is serious about implementing his campaign motto of change.
Ahmadinejad criticized his American counterpart for failing to realize his campaign trail promise of "change."
"They (the Americans) announced that they had pulled out part of their forces from Iraq in recent days and claimed that their move was in line with their slogan of 'change'," Ahmadinejad said in August.
"You said you would withdraw all your troops from Iraq, why is it that some of them are still in this country? Secondly, where are you relocating your forces from Iraq?"
"Americans want to relocate their soldiers to Afghanistan. What kind of 'change in military policy' is this?"
