Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned against plots hatched by arrogant powers with the purpose of stirring up Iran-Arab and Shia-Sunni strife, urging regional nations to remain vigilant.
“Arrogant powers are trying to sow the seeds of discord in the region. They are trying to provoke regional divisions and provoke wars among nations and governments in order to sell their weapons,” said the Iranian president on Monday in a ceremony marking the national Army Day.
He added that enemies are making efforts to reinforce their evil pillars in the region and pointed out, “By God’s grace, Iranians and other regional nations are vigilant. All nations in the region need to remain vigilant.”
He stated that the US and its allies hatched a pre-planned plot some 10 years ago and infiltrated into the region in a bid to “occupy the heart of politics, economy and culture of the world which is our region.”
President Ahmadinejad noted that their efforts aimed to control the awakening of regional nations, inspired by the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and to “save the capitalist system and economy from a definite death.”
He emphasized that vigilance of the Iranian people and unity among nations thwarted all their plots.
“The capitalist system is nearing its collapse. It has mobilized its military and political capacities to survive a definite death. This is the reason that all regional countries should keep vigilant,” he pointed out.
The Iranian chief executive stressed that the time of deceit, interference, dual attitude and bullying has come to an end.
“The US is not an honest friend because it has always betrayed its friends. However, Iran is a true friend of all nations,” he said.
President Ahmadinejad emphasized that a new Middle East would take shape without the presence of the United States and Israel, stressing, “Enemies of nations have no option but to accept defeat.”
