Supreme Leader: Iran stances on regional issues quite clear, logical

Tehran, Nov 25, IRNA Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic of Iran's stances on various regional issues, especially those related to Palestine, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria and Iraqi, are quite clear and logical.

'We cannot remain indifferent to the conflict between the camp of arrogance and the camp of values and independence seeking and on this basis, the Islamic Republic of Iran's stances on various regional issues, including Palestine, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria and Iraq, are quite clear and logical,' said the Supreme Leader in an address to a group of Basij commanders on the National Basij Day.

The Paramount Leader referred to Palestine issue and said the main goal of the camp of arrogance is to put the Palestine cause into oblivion.

'Despite all efforts of the camp of arrogance and even the support and collaboration of the Arab states, the Intifadha of Palestine has begun in the West Bank,' said Ayatollah Khamenei, referring to the unjust conduct of the arrogant media in connection with the issue of Palestine.

He said, 'The (arrogant) media lable the people, who hurl stones in protest against the occupation of their land and annihilation of their houses, as terrorists while branding the acts of a certain group who has ruined the lives and reputation of Palestinians as acts of self-defense.'

'Is such an approach and outlook to the issue of Palestine a small mistake or injustice to be overlooked easily? We will continue to defend the Palestinian people's movement in all possible manner and as long as needed.'

On Bahrain, the Supreme Leader questioned, ''What's the sin of the people of Bahrain? Do they want anything other than their rights to vote? Isn't this democracy? Aren't Westerners the advocates of democracy?'

The Supreme Leader also referred to insults and pressures being put on the people of Bahrain and their humiliation by a small group of unjust persons holding power and said, 'The minority tyrants are now so rude that they insult the sanctities and mourning rituals of the people of Bahrain during Moharram.'

Also pointing to ceaseless attacks on the oppressed people of Yemen, Ayatollah Khamenei said, 'Under such conditions the so-called advocates of democracy and human rights keep on attacking the people of Yemen.'

On Syria and Iraq, the Paramount Leader said, 'The camp of arrogance support the most merciless and savage terrorists in the two countries and in Syria they insist that they themselves should specify the process of government formation. Who are you? Are you entitled to come to other parts of the world and decide on behalf of the people of Syria? Any nation should decide the type of its government itself.'

Elsewhere his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei said Basij forces should prove that the stances the Islamic Republic of Iran has taken on Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Bahrain are the most logical ones that any fair and wise country can take.

Ayatollah Khamenei also warned against the threat of enemies infiltrating into the system, adding that such a threat should by no means be underestimated.

The Leader stressed that the issue of infiltration is a very serious one noting that the claims that some intend to use the issue for their own interests will not reduce the seriousness of the threat.
