Commander Raps US Interfering Policies after 9/11

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Armed Forces Deputy Chief of Staff for Cultural Affairs and Defense Publicity Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri strongly condemned Washington's interference in the other countries' affairs, specially in the Middle-East, after the 9/11 attacks on the New York twin towers.
The US used the 9/11 attacks as a sentimental tool to pursue its hegemonic objectives with the establishment of a new Middle East on top of its goals, Jazayeri said.

By planning the 9/11 incident, the US and the world Zionism were seeking to create geographical, political and cultural changes to the world in a bid to ensure dominance over the most strategic region of the world, the Middle East, for at least the next 100 years, he pointed out.

The top Iranian commander criticized US efforts to conceal the facts pertaining to the incident and said, the question remains as to why the US has failed to shed light on different aspects of the attacks but instead plays a blame game by portraying Muslim countries as terrorists through widespread propaganda.

He said that spreading Islamophobia was the main objective of hegemonic powers, reiterating that the US planned the 9/11 attacks to depict a negative image of Islam and to stop the spread of the religion as liberal democracy was already on the verge of collapse.

Jazayeri pointed out that the 9/11 incident, which was described by the media as the super incident, could provide an excuse for the US to pursue its objectives.

He further noted that shortly after the incident the media pointed the finger of blame at Muslims although no immediate speculation was possible at the time.

Jazayeri said that the US had to accept the fact that the era of its supremacy has come to an end and that the divine school of thought would soon replace materialist schools.

A senior Iranian foreign ministry official had earlier lashed out at the western countries for increasing and intensifying their anti-human rights rules under the pretext of war on terrorism after September 11, 2001, warning that the move has boosted racism and serious violation of human rights in those states.

"After the September 11 events, laws and rules violating the human rights increased in the West, and spread of discrimination, oppression against minorities and the recent case in France are just a few of them," Head of Foreign Ministry's Human Rights Department Ali Bahraini said.

"Also issues like racism and anti-human rights discussions have become prevalent in official and political circles in Europe and it is observed today that certain anti-human rights performances are officially supported by the European officials and parliament," he added.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry last month issued a report on the violation of human rights by the US inside and outside its borders, and urged Washington to join the international conventions which prohibit such crimes.

It was stressed in the Foreign Ministry report that the United States, one of the self-claimed standard bearers of defending the human rights around the globe, has despite the international community and the UN demand, and even President Barack Obama's promise, still not shut down the Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib horrendous prisons.

It is stressed in the report that the United States has not yet joined the most important convention on economic, social and cultural rights that is among the most important human rights documents.
