Top Security Official Warns about US-Israel Plot to Derail Regional Uprisings

TEHRAN (FNA)- Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili cautioned that Washington and Tel Aviv are seeking to derail the popular uprisings in the region due to the anti-American and anti-Israeli nature of these movements.
"The US and the Zionist regime of Israel are trying to divert the regional nations' uprisings in a bid to wear out or derail these nations' anti-arrogant and anti-Zionist capacity," Saeed Jalili said in a meeting with visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu today.

However, Jalili stressed inefficiency of these plots, and noted, "The regional nations' deep awareness and vigilance about the worn-out conspiracies of the United States will not allow the global dictatorship to continue its hegemony over the region."

During the meeting, the Turkish foreign minister called for continued consultations and coordination between Tehran and Ankara over the regional developments.

Davutoglu also stressed the necessity for reforming the regional structure, and stressed, "The region needs new structures in which aliens have no room."

In an earlier press conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, Davutoglu, who arrived in Tehran last night, advised the regional rulers facing popular uprisings in their countries to exchange views with Tehran, reminding that Iran as a regional power holds vitally precious views which could help resolve problems in such countries.

The Turkish foreign minister noted the recent popular uprisings in Bahrain, Yemen and Libya, and said all countries should exchange views with Iran (as a major regional country) on developments in their countries.

Iran announced in June that it has prepared a proposal to settle the existing problems in Bahrain, and said it is waiting for the Bahraini government's readiness to discuss the plan.

"We are having consultations with different parties and we will declare our readiness for offering the proposal whenever they announce that they are ready," Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told FNA on the sidelines of the second international conference on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation in Tehran in mid June.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had earlier made similar comments in a press conference here in Tehran.

"I hope that in the near future conditions are prepared and we can present our proposal so they can resolve the issue," Ahmadinejad told a press conference in early June, without elaborating on his plan.

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.

Violence against the defenseless people escalated after a Saudi-led conglomerate of police, security and military forces from the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) member states - Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar - were dispatched to the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom on March 13 to help Manama crack down on peaceful protestors.

So far, tens of people have been killed, hundreds have gone missing and about 1,000 others have been injured.

The Bahraini people have repeatedly condemned Riyadh's main role in the suppression of their revolution, and reiterated that they would continue protests until the collapse of the Al-Khalifa regime.
