Khamenei Blames the US for Iraq Bombings

Khaleej Times Online:

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday denied fresh US allegations that the Islamic republic was linked to bombings in Iraq, and instead pointed the finger at US occupying forces.

“We support the government of Iraq. We are very disturbed by the lack of secutity in Iraq, especially the daily killings of the Iraqi people,” Khamenei said in a sermon at Tehran University.

“American machine-guns are criminal, but those elements who plant bombs are also criminals,” he added.

“For us, the prime suspect in these incidents is America, because terrorism in Iraq functions under the eyes of the US. Thousands of Americans forces are spread across Iraq and if they wanted to eradicate insecurity they could have,” he said. READ MORE

“There are some signs which point to the spy services of the US and Zionist regime (Israel). They do not want this (Iraqi) government to be successful, because insecurity is their pretext to stay,” he added.

“Accusing Iran and Syria,” he said, “cannot clear themselves.”

Iran was also “firm in letting no one infiltrate” Iraq even though the two country share a 1,300-kilometre (810 mile) border, but explained that “even the Americans cannot stop the Mexicans cross their border”.

Khamenei meanwhile hailed the pullout from the Gaza Strip by Israel, a country which Iran refuses to recognise, as a “defeat” for the Jewish state.

“This evacuation has not come about as the result of a choice by the Zionist regime. It is a defeat and they do it because they had no other choice,” he said.

“It was because of the Palestinian resistance. First we saw the victory of the Lebanese resistance, and now we see this evacuation,” he said.

Reminds me of Hitlers big lie.
