IFP - A lawmaker censured the recent hostile remarks of a UAE official meant to provoke disputes among Iran�s ethnic Kurds, noting that such comments are the result of blind adherence to the US policies on the Middle East.





Dubai Police Chief Dhahi Khalfan said last week that �independence of Kurdestan from Iran will help create a more powerful region � Announce your independent state and I will be the first to recognize your autonomy.�

Responding to Khalfan�s remarks, Mohammad Javad Abtahi said, �Such hostile remarks by submissive US allies are in line with the US �New Middle-East� plan,� ICANA reported.

The plan also known as the �Greater Middle East� was first introduced in 2006 during George W. Bush�s administration.

�The US has been pursuing the policy of partitioning Iran to undermine its strategic geopolitical and geo-strategic positions that threaten the US regional interests,� he said.

�The US and Britain have always sought to disintegrate Iran so as to implement their hegemonic policies.� Abtahi called for the government�s strong response to prevent the recurrence of such moves in the future.

�The Islamic Republic�s intelligence and armed forces should be wary of the plots of Iran�s adversaries,� he concluded.

This is while experts believe the unsound remarks of a low-ranking official of a small city are best ignored.
