In a statement on Sunday, Iran called for restraint and an immediate halt of the large-scale Israeli bombardment of Gaza.
Israel attacked the impoverished strip on Saturday, leaving 800 people in a critical state. The Saturday attacks are widely believed to be one of the worst in the 60-year history of the Israeli occupation.
"The international community is duty bound to defend Gaza civilians in the face of Israel's genocide and crimes against humanity," the Foreign Ministry statement reads according to press tv.
"Tel Aviv's bombardment of the Gaza Strip is yet another brazen example of Israel's terrorist mindset and its gross violation of human rights," it adds.
The statement condemns the barrage of Israeli attacks on civilian non-military targets as being in stark defiance of the Geneva Convention and UN resolutions.
Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states that no protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed, hence collective punishment and all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.
The Saturday onslaught came after a six-month truce between Israel and the democratically-elected Palestinian government of Hamas expired on December 19 - and after repeated violations by Tel Aviv.
The Arab world reacted in shock to the Israeli incursion into Gaza and stepped up calls for retaliation against Israel.
"Today everybody has to stand by the side of the Palestinian people and stop this blind military action," said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit.
Russia and France have also decried the large-scale operations, demanding that Israel immediately halt its attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, however, snubbed international appeals for an end to the attacks and asserted that operations against Gaza will go on for "as long as necessary".
"There is a time for cease-fires and a time to fight, and now is the time to fight," said Barak, adding that the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and security forces have been masterminding the Gaza invasion "for months".
In a televised speech on Sunday, Barak confirmed that Tel Aviv may even send ground troops into Gaza to help in carrying out fresh attacks on the coastal strip.
The UN Security Council held emergency consultations Saturday night and early Sunday to outline a resolution, by which Israel would be obliged to halt its military operations "without delay".

Iran Urges Int'l Community to Halt Israeli Crimes
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hassan Qashqavi called on the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to take immediate measures to bring an end to Israel's brutal attacks in the Gaza Strip.
About 220 Palestinians were killed across the Gaza Strip on Saturday in massive air strikes carried out by the Zionist regime.
This brutal and inhumane strike brings more shame upon Israel, MNA quoted Qashqavi as saying on Saturday.
"Although this crime has apparently been committed to gain more votes in the election campaigns of the occupiers of the occupied territories, it also provides firm evidence that the Zionist regime's aggressive approach is continuing."
He also criticized the members of the international community for their silence in the face of the disastrous situation in Gaza.
"These crimes are the result of the painful silence of the international community in the response to the inhumane siege of oppressed men, women, and children in the Gaza Strip."
The Foreign Ministry spokesman addressed the world bodies and so-called upholders of human rights, saying, "The important question in this issue is: Shouldn't attacking residential areas and massacring dozens of men, women, and children in the streets… cause any reaction or human feelings to arise, and shouldn't this be considered… a serious human rights issue?"
Qashqavi also expressed his condolences to the Palestinians and emphasized that the Iranian nation and government strongly supports the oppressed Palestinian nation in their struggle against the Zionist regime.

UN official Enough evidence to prosecute Rumsfeld - English. Monday, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak told CNN's Rick Sanchez that the US has an "obligation" to investigate whether Bush administration officials ordered torture, adding that he believes that there is already enough evidence to prosecute former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
"We have clear evidence," he said. "In our report that we sent to the United Nat More..ions, we made it clear that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld clearly authorized torture methods and he was told at that time by Alberto Mora, the legal council of the Navy, 'Mr. Secretary, what you are actual ordering here amounts to torture.' So, there we have the clear evidence that Mr. Rumsfeld knew what he was doing but, nevertheless, he ordered torture."
Asked during an interview with Germany's ZDF television on Jan. 20, Nowak said: "I think the evidence is on the table."
At issue, however, is whether "American law will recognize these forms of torture."
A bipartisan Senate report released last month found Rumsfeld and other top administration officials responsible for abuse of Guantanamo detainees in US custody.
It said Rumsfeld authorized harsh interrogation techniques on December 2, 2002 at the Guantanamo prison, although he ruled them out a month later.
The coercive measures were based on a document signed by Bush in February, 2002.

Tehran Sermon - Rehbar asked for the meaning of HUMAN RIGHTS ? - English & Persian
No rigging in Election. Ahmedineejad \"Our enemies and their media have hired some opportunist and mischievous elements and have misused the simple-mindedness of some people to cause...
No rigging in Election. Ahmedineejad \"Our enemies and their media have hired some opportunist and mischievous elements and have misused the simple-mindedness of some people to cause unrest,\" the government said in a Thursday statement.
It further accused the Western media of \'spreading lies and rumors\' to create doubts over the health of Friday\'s presidential election.
Iran\'s European Union envoy criticized the Western countries for their \"support for these trouble-makers and anarchists under the cover of supporting democracy and the voice of the Iranian people\".
In a Thursday statement, the Iranian embassy in Brussels said, \"All foreign involvement will have a damaging impact and is rejected by the people and the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran\".
Incumbent Ahmadinejad was re-elected as the Iranian president on June 12 with almost two-thirds of votes, but his main rival Mir-Hossein Moussavi has rejected the result as fraudulent and demanded a re-run of the election.
In the statement, the Ahmadinejad administration called on the security forces to take measures to uproot vandalism and the frightening of the public.
Hundreds of thousands of Moussavi supporters have staged daily rallies since the announcement of election results on Saturday, asking the Guardian Council to nullify the election.
Despite Moussavi\'s insistence on the peaceful nature of protests, violence flared in early stages of demonstrations. At least eight people were killed in Tehran and many others sustained injuries.
Iran has revoked all foreign media accreditations and foreign reporters are not allowed to cover gatherings which are banned as illegal.
Moussavi\'s camp has stressed that the post-election rioters are \"not supporters of, or linked to\" the former prime minister, who suffered a crushing defeat in the June 12 poll.
The Moussavi camp says that a number of \"miscreants\" are attempting to de-fame the popular figure and his supporters \"by conducting acts of vandalism\" in his name.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has also shed light on the situation. The Leader said on Tuesday that those who vandalize public property and stage violent riots are not related to any of the presidential candidates or their supporters.
On Thursday, dozens of Ahmadinejad\'s supporters staged a rally in front of the Justice Department in the capital, Tehran. They also called for strong action against the rioters.

Green Movement: Exiled Oligarchs for a Future Client-State: Targeting Islam in America's Soft War Coup Attempts in Iran. Part 1 on a series that analyzes the soft and proxy wars between Iran and the United States. Since the fall of the US-Backed Shah, Iran and the United States have been at odds over Middle Eastern dominance. It has caused Iran to abandon the client-state for an Islamic Republic. Increasingly, the American government has exhausted every method of overthrowing the Islamic Republic's system. Supporting various sleeper cells within Iran, including those that carry out terrorist activities. The United States has thus resorted to more economical measures, mainly injecting capital into television and media propaganda targeting the Islamic religion. The United States believes that if the Islamic Republic is to fall, it must be done by corrupting Islam as a religion and to promote non-Islamic Western models and ideologies as the only way out for a truly free Iran. This series of documentaries expands on this idea, it includes interviews and relevant information for the viewer who seeks an in-depth look into America's growing urge to get rid of the Islamic Republic before it grows too powerful in the region.

Sanctions prelude to extinction of dollar
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insists that the anti-Iran sanctions will serve as a stepping stone to eradicate the domination of the US dollar in world markets.
Ahmadinejad said the countries that followed the US campaign for anti-Iran sanctions have deprived themselves of the opportunity to participate in Iranian economic projects, IRNA reported on Sunday.
Addressing a ceremony marking the international week of mosques, the Iranian president stressed that Iran would use Western sanctions to move towards developing the country's domestic manufacturing and globalizing Iranian-made products.
Ahmadinejad said the US-led sanctions was a form of a psychological warfare intended to force the Iranian nation into compromise, adding, "This nation will never compromise when it comes to its independence, integrity, principles and justice-seeking."
"If sanctions were to have any impact on Iran, it would not be during the tenure of [US President Barack] Obama."
Ahmadinejad went on to say that the only impact sanctions will have on the Iranian economy is that "they will help its flourishing."
The president said by adopting anti-Iran measures, the West has further discredited itself.

On the first Friday prayers in Ramadan, the Muslim Holy Month, thousands of Palestinians flocked towards the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem to attend prayers.
But, as is often the case, many were not allowed inside to pray.
Israeli authorities have put restrictions on who can attend prayers at the holy site, but they say they are trying to accommodate as many worshippers as possible.
Special permits are available but just for women between the ages of 30 and 45 and men between 45 and 50.
Palestinian officials say that such restrictive measures do not respect the sanctity of the month.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has described the flood disaster in Pakistan as the \\\"most urgent\\\" issue of the Muslim world.
Addressing crowds of worshippers at Tehran University after Eid al-Fitr prayers on Friday, Ayatollah Khamenei expressed deep sorrow over the catastrophic floods in Pakistan and the lingering humanitarian crisis it has brought to the country.
Iran has so far sent more than 400 tons of humanitarian aid including tents, blankets, food and medicine to Pakistan, and has also announced its readiness to play an active role in the reconstruction of the country\\\'s flood-ravaged regions.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the measures taken so far to relieve the disaster-hit Pakistanis was far from enough and appealed to all Muslims across the globe to help their brothers in Pakistan.
\\\"The Iranian nation and government, other Muslim nations and governments, and Islamic societies including the Organization of the Islamic Conference and Muslims communities in any corner of the world [must] rush to help the Pakistani nation and government and meet the various needs of the flood victims in Pakistan,\\\" the Leader said.
The international community has also pleaded for a boost in global relief efforts to help some 800,000 Pakistanis stranded in areas only accessible by air in the aftermath of the country\\\'s worst-ever natural disaster.
The floods washed through one-fifth of Pakistan in August, leaving at least 1,760 people dead and affecting at least another 17 million.
Ayatollah Khamenei further warned about efforts by some powers to take advantage of the political unrest and security gap in the violence-wracked country.
\\\"Some are seeking to turn Pakistan into their military base,\\\" the Leader cautioned, expressing hope that Islamabad would resolve the predicament by fulfilling its obligations.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has condemned the desecration of the Holy Quran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in the US.
\\\"Without a doubt, the leaders of the global arrogance engineered [this plot] and [were in charge of] the command room of these atrocities,\\\" the Leader said.
Ayatollah Khamenei added that \\\"Zionist think-tanks which hold the most influence on the US government and its security and military organizations\\\" were among the accomplices in the scenario.
\\\"This incident and previous incidents clearly show that what the global arrogance is attacking today is the foundation of Islam and the Holy Quran,\\\" Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader said that the enemies\\\' main objective behind this abominable act was to drag their fight with Islam and Muslims to all levels of the Christian society and to give it a religious pretext by bringing the Church into play.
\\\"We must all realize that this recent incident is not related to the Church and Christianity and the puppet actions of a few foolish and mercenary priests must not be attributed to Christians and their clergy,\\\" Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader said Muslims would never adopt similar measures against the religious sanctities of other faiths.
\\\"All Muslims hold the US government and their politicians accountable. If the US government is sincere in its claims of not having been involved in this incident, it must mete out a befitting punishment to the main perpetrators of this serious crime... who have hurt the sentiments of 1.5 billion Muslims,\\\" the Leader said.
After Florida pastor Terry Jones called off his Quran burning plans in the face of fierce international condemnation, other anti-Islam elements in the US attempted to burn copies of the holy book on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on Saturday.
Two evangelical preachers in Tennessee also set copies of the Quran on fire and members of the group Operation Rescue tore pages from the holy book of Islam.
The police made no efforts to stop the desecrating acts.

Leader\"s message on Quran desecration
The message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the Muslim Ummah following the abominable act of desecrating the Holy Quran in America:
In the Name of God, the All-Compassionate, the All-Merciful
\"It is we who sent down the Koran, and we watch over it,\" says God the Mighty, the Wise [Holy Quran, 15:9]
Great Iranian nation, great Islamic Ummah!
The insane, revolting insult to the Holy Quran in America, an incident occurring under the security provided by the US police, is a major tragic event that cannot be considered merely as the foolish act of a few worthless mercenaries. This is a calculated act by those who since years ago have put Islamophobic and anti-Muslim policies on their agenda and have tried to combat Islam and the Quran in numerous ways by resorting to myriad propaganda means and campaigns. This is another link in a chain of shameless measures launched with the blasphemy of Salman Rushdi, the apostate, followed by the insult of the base Danish caricaturist, tens of anti-Islamic movies produced in Hollywood and now crowned by this disgusting show. Who and what is behind such evil acts?

Looking into this trend of evil, as manifested in recent years in atrocious operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Pakistan, leaves no doubt that it is designed and masterminded by heads of world imperialism and Zionist think tanks which have the highest degree of influence in the government, the military and security agencies of the United States as well as Britain and some other European countries. These are the ones at whom the finger of suspicion of independent truth-finding groups and individuals is pointed in the case of the attack on the Twin Towers on September the 11th.

IAEA Discusses Israels Nukes - Interview with Former US Sen. M. Gravel - 17 SEP 2010 - English

IAEA resolution looms large on Israel
Arab states remain adamant about bringing Israel to account for its nuclear activities by proposing a relevant draft resolution to UN's nuclear watchdog for its upcoming annual conference.
As the 54th annual general conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is set to convene next week, there is great international anticipation for a major focus on Tel Aviv's nuclear activities, after so many years of ignoring the issue.
"The Arab Group urges to keep the item 'Israeli nuclear capabilities' on the agenda of the general conference and ... will submit a draft resolution," said the Sudanese envoy to the organization, Mahmound El-Amin on behalf of 22 Arab states, AFP reported.
"The Arab Group requests the IAEA member states to support the draft resolution and vote in favor of it," he added.
The Israeli regime is widely believed to have manufactured numerous nuclear warheads since 1958, a year after IAEA's inception.
The agency, however, has so far refused to ratify any resolutions on Israel's nuclear activities.
Former US President Jimmy Carter has attested to the existence of the Israeli nuclear arsenal, confirming that it includes between 200 to 300 warheads. Decades of recurrent reporting and aerial footage have also established the Israeli possession of atomic arms.
The IAEA Director General, Yukiya Amano recently reported to the agency's Board of Governors about the nuclear program, saying that Tel Aviv was restricting the agency from examining its nuclear potentials.
The report, however, merely calls on Tel Aviv to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and "place all its nuclear facilities under comprehensive IAEA safeguards," with no enforcement or follow-up measures behind it.
El-Amin called the report "weak and disappointing" and said that the organization uses "double standards" when it comes to Israel.
Efforts by Arab states and other countries caused an NPT review conference in May to issue a statement, highlighting the importance of Tel Aviv's acceding to the treaty and its allowing the IAEA to fully inspect its nuclear sites.
The United States, Israel's strongest ally, has served its Arab allies with a warning against supporting the draft resolution on Israel's nuclear activities, arguing that it poses risks to the renewed direct talks between the Tel Aviv regime and the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Many Palestinian groups have already abandoned hope in the process, citing the White House's partiality in favor of the Israelis and arguing that the acting PA Chief, Mahmoud Abbas, does not represent most Palestinians.

Senior cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani welcomes the Iranian president\\\'s UN address in which he called for an independent probe into the 9/11 incident.
Tehran\\\'s interim Friday Prayers leader questioned the angry response of members of Washington\\\'s delegate, who left the UN General Assembly session, to a call that \\\"many in the world have welcomed.\\\"
\\\"Iran\\\'s argument means that your word should not be the only one dominating the world because the international community and even the American people no longer buy these words,\\\" he was quoted by IRNA as saying.
In his September 22 speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad raised doubts about the credibility of Washington\\\'s account of the source and nature of the attacks indicating that a \\\"very powerful and complex terrorist group, able to successfully cross all layers of the American intelligence and security, carried out the attack.\\\"
Ahmadinejad said despite the cited claim many throughout the world believe that \\\"some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime [of Israel].\\\"
\\\"Nations welcome a probe into this incident, but you accused others with [your] incoherent talk and blamed them for the attacks and massacred and violated the innocent people of Afghanistan,\\\" Ayatollah Emami Kashani said, addressing the US government.
\\\"Considering what you have done, no one trusts you anymore; you have numerous prisons in which you torture detainees,\\\" the cleric charged.
Ayatollah Emami Kashani further downplayed Western sanctions against Iran, saying such measures could not shake the Iranian people and government and will yield no result other than the \\\"awakening of the Iranian nation and elites.\\\"
The prominent cleric attributed the recent announcement of Iran\\\'s self-sufficiency in gasoline production and the progress achieved in the field of nanotechnology to a scientific movement triggered by sanctions.

These scenes outside the Israeli Embassy in London have become a common sight. It is here that London witnessed an outpouring of grief over the attack on the Mavi Marmara earlier this year, and here people now stand to commemorate the anniversary of Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, which began to this day two years ago.
Over 1400 Gazans were killed in that onslaught - few have forgotten. Protests like this are taking place around the country this week.
2010 comes to a close after months of brewing anger over the British government's domestic austerity measures - this is matched by equally heightened disillusionment over the Middle East process.
Two years ago as Gaza was being bombarded, protests here turned violent - and dozens were later arrested and given jail sentences. This sent shockwaves through the Pro-Palestinian movement here.
The protest in London has come to an end now and the organisers and fairly happy with the turnout they saw today. The end of December is a sleepy, holiday season in the United Kingdom - a time when very little of political significance takes place here but with Operation Cast lead's anniversary falling at this time each year, it will never be the same again.

Namaz managed by Imamia students organisation (ISO)
Muhammad Toori, Press TV, Karachi
Recently there was a bomb explosion at a make-shift prayer place for Shia students near Karachi University cafeteria, in which two students were critically wounded.
These protesters want the city officials and university administration to adopt tight security measures to avert similar incidents in the future . According to police sources one kilograms of explosive material was used in the blast.
A large number of students had been present in the university at the time of blast as it had re-opened after a recent closure due to campus clashes.
These demonstrators are demanding a separate prayer place for Shia students here on the University Campus as they say other communities like Christens and Hindus have their own place of worship and they accuse the university administration of failing to provide security for the students..
We were praying here because we do not have a prayer place, even a Hindu community has a prayer place in the campus and there are many mosques belonging to different sects why can\'t we have a Mosque of our own, we have submitted several applications to Voice Chancellor but all went in vain.
According to one of the university officials this is the first incident of its kind in the university history as no religious gathering like this has been attacked before and this blast shows that open religious gatherings at educational centers may come under attack by terrorist groups.
I was praying in the first row when the bomb exploded and suddenly a student on my right went down, it was horrible, a bomb palate hit his lag and he is critically injured we need a safe place a mosque on the campus.
But some say this incident is linked to the recent clashes between two student groups on sectarian grounds, and that segregating students can not help much with the security.
Students are also very critical of the Karachi University administration\'s failure to control the worsening law and order situation inside the campus.

Leader Orders Tough Punishment of Bank Embezzlers - Oct 3-2011 Farsi

TEHRAN (FNA)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei stressed the necessity for a serious punishment of those guilty in the recent bank scam, and blamed the country\'s officials for their lack of diligence in preventing the case.
\"Although authorities welcomed confrontation against economic corruption, but if action had been taken on my advice, we would have never been afflicted with such incidents as the recent corruption in the banking system,\" the Leader said, addressing a meeting with cultural and executive staff and personnel of Hajj in Tehran on Monday.
Ten years ago, the Leader had made a series of recommendations for the country\'s officials requiring them to launch a tough combat on economic corruption.
The Leader further underlined the necessity of stopping all covert and overt economic activities of such corrupt individuals as the ones involved in the recent bank scam.
Ayatollah Khamenei further assured the Iranian people of the ruling system\'s resolve to confront and prevent similar economic corruption.
The $2.8 billion embezzlement scandal involving seven government-owned and private banks, which had used fraudulent Saderat Bank documents to secure multi-billion dollar credit and purchase state-owned companies, was recently uncovered.
Iran\'s Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani has appointed Prosecutor General Hojjatoleslam Gholam- Hossein Mohseni-Ejeii to investigate the case.
On September 27, Mohseni Ejeii announced that 22 people had been arrested in connection with the case and that the exact nature of the fraud is still under investigation.
According to the Prosecutor General, necessary measures have been taken to prevent the criminals from leaving the country or transferring money to offshore accounts.
مسوولان، در ماجرای سوء استفاده بانکی دستهای خائن و مفسد را بدون ترحم قطع کنند
ساعت خبر: 11:37 - تاريخ خبر: 11/07/1390
•تلاش دشمنان برای اختلاف افکنی و مقابله با بیداری اسلامی در مراسم حج
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای رهبر انقلاب اسلامی صبح امروز (دوشنبه) در دیدار دست اندرکاران حج امسال، حج را فرصتی بسیار گرانبها و ارزشمند برای ارتباط با امت اسلامی و بهره مندی معنوی خواندند و با اشاره به تلاش دشمنان برای اختلاف افکنی و مقابله با موج بیداری اسلامی در مراسم حج ، تنها راه غلبه بر این توطئه را نزدیکتر شدن دلها و تقویت همدلی دانستند.
به گزارش واحد مرکزی خبر، ایشان همچنین در ادامه با اشاره به فساد بانکی اخیر در کشور، علت وقوع این سوء استفاده را عمل نکردن مسوولان به توصیه های مؤکد چند سال پیش رهبری در خصوص مقابله با فساد اقتصادی توصیف و تأکید کردند: مسوولان قضایی ضمن پیگیری قوی، دقیق و عاقلانه قضیه و اطلاع رسانی مناسب به مردم، باید دستهای خائن را قطع کنند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای حج را یکی از رموز اساسی اسلام و میهمانی بزرگ الهی در مرکز عظمت و قدرت و جمال و کرَم توصیف کردند و افزودند: باید در بُعد عمومی و بین المللی حج، همدلی و تقویت پیوندهای اسلامی بدون در نظر گرفتن ملیت ها، قومیت ها و مذهب ها مورد توجه جدی قرار گیرد و از این فرصت برای نزدیک تر شدن دلها استفاده شود.
ایشان یکی از ویژگیهای بارز حج امسال را، بیداری اسلامی در منطقه بویژه مصر، تونس، یمن و بحرین دانستند و تأکید کردند: با توجه به این رویداد مهم، امسال توطئه ایجاد اختلاف و بدبینی و تحریک احساسات میان امت اسلامی، برجسته تر خواهد بود و تنها راه غلبه بر این توطئه نزدیکتر شدن دلها و تقویت همدلی است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با تأکید بر اینکه مسلمانان یک تن واحد هستند، افزودند: حجاج ایرانی باید با چنین نگاه عمومی و جهانی در حج حضور یابند و تجربیات سی ساله خود در مبارزه با استکبار و معاندین را در اختیار ملتهای تازه انقلاب کرده، قرار دهند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای، رفتار خوب و همراه با ادب و احترام را از دیگر نکات ضروری برای حجاج ایرانی برشمردند و خاطر نشان کردند: حج فرصتی گرانبها برای پاکیزه شدن از آلودگی های دنیا و مجموعه ای از فرائض است که باید ضمن قدر دانستن این مراسم عظیم و کم نظیر، در حفظ ذخایر معنوی بدست آمده آن هم همت کرد.
ایشان زائران بیت الله الحرام را به آماده سازی درونی خود، قبل از سفر حج و آماده شدن برای این میهمانی الهی توصیه کردند و افزودند: حاجی ایرانی باید با رفتار خود در حج، ملت، کشور و نظام جمهوری اسلامی ایران را در چشم دنیا سربلند کند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی حجاج را به پرهیز از رفتارهای سبک توصیه و خاطر نشان کردند: یکی از این رفتارهای سبک، عطش بازارگردی است که علاوه بر اینکه ارز کشور را برای خرید کالاهای بی کیفیت به هدر می دهد، فرصت ارزشمند عبادت و بهره مندی معنوی را نیز از بین می برد.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای با تأکید بر این که خرید سوغات باید در حد ضرورت باشد، خاطر نشان کردند: برخی افراد در اقدامی پسندیده سوغات خود را قبل از سفر حج، از بازار داخل و کالاهای خوب و با کیفیت ایرانی تهیه می کنند تا بتوانند در ایام حج بیشترین بهره مندی معنوی را از این فرصت کم نظیر داشته باشند.
ایشان در پایان این بحث افزودند: معارف دینی، قرآن، سنت و اهل بیت، سرمایه های معنوی ما هستند که اگر از آنها استفاده شود، زمینه پیشرفت و سعادت بوجود می آید و اگر انسان خود را از این سرمایه ها محروم کند، قطعاً ضرر خواهد کرد.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای در ادامه با اشاره به توصیه های مؤکد خود به مسوولان، در سالهای گذشته بویژه در فرمان ده سال قبل برای مبارزه با فساد اقتصادی خاطر نشان کردند: اگر چه مسوولان از مقابله با فساد اقتصادی استقبال کردند اما اگر به این توصیه ها عمل می شد، هیچگاه دچار چنین حوادثی همچون فساد بانکی اخیر نمی شدیم.
ایشان افزودند: وقوع چنین مسائلی، ذهن و دل مردم را مشغول، و دل بسیاری را نیز می شکند و آیا این سزاوار است که بخاطر عمل نکردن مسوولان، مردم به سبب این حوادث ناراحت شوند و حتی برخی امید خود را از دست بدهند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی خاطر نشان کردند: از همان سالهای قبل بارها گفته شد که نباید بگذاریم فساد ریشه دار شود زیرا با گذشت زمان، ریشه کنی ان بسیار مشکل می شود و سرمایه گذار پاکدامن و صادق را نیز مأیوس می کند، اما متأسفانه عمل نشد.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای با اطمینان بخشی به مردم در خصوص عزم سه قوه برای مقابله با این حادثه و پیشگیری از حوادث مشابه، افزودند: البته عده ای می خواهند از این ماجرا برای زیر سؤال بردن مسوولان استفاده کنند، در حالیکه مسوولان در دولت، مجلس و قوه قضائیه مشغول انجام وظیفه خود هستند.
ایشان با اشاره به اطلاع رسانی که در روز های گذشته در خصوص این حادثه انجام گرفته است، خاطر نشان کردند: رسانه ها بیش از این نباید به جنجال و هیاهو درباره این ماجرا ادامه دهند، بلکه باید به مسئولان اجازه دهند تا عاقلانه، مدبرانه، قوی و با دقت قضایا را پیگیری و بررسی کنند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی تأکید کردند: ادامه هیاهو و جنجال، بخصوص اگر عده ای بدنبال استفاده های دیگر از این مسائل باشند، به صلاح نیست و همه باید مراقب باشند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای افزودند: مردم بدانند که مسوولان، این ماجرا را تا آخر پیگیری خواهند کرد و دستهای خائن قطع خواهد شد.
ایشان با توصیه مؤکد به قوه قضائیه برای اطلاع رسانی مناسب به مردم در خصوص پیگیری این پرونده تأکید کردند: دستگاه قضایی نباید به افراد بدکاره، خرابکار و مفسد ترحم کند.
در ابتدای این دیدار، حجت الاسلام و المسلمین قاضی عسگر نماینده ولی فقیه و سرپرست زائران ایرانی در گزارشی از فعالیتهای بعثه مقام معظّم رهبری برای برگزاری هر چه با شکوهتر حج، ارتقاء و تنوع بخشی برنامه های آموزشی حجاج، راه اندازی آموزش مجازی، انتشار فصل نامه های تخصصی حج، چاپ قرآن های نفیس همراه با ترجمه برای حجاج، استفاده از ظرفیت های صدا و سیما، برگزاری آزمون برای انتخاب روحانیون و معین های جدید کاروانها، تشکیل اتاق فکر، و استفاده بیش از پیش از دیپلماسی حج، از جمله اقدامات انجام گرفته است.
آقای لیالی رئیس سازمان حج و زیارت نیز در گزارشی از قدامات اجرایی حج گفت: امسال 97 هزار زائر در قالب 588 کاروان و با استفاده از دو شرکت هواپیمایی ایرانی، به مکه و مدینه انتقال خواهند یافت و محل اسکان زائران ایرانی در مکه نسبت به سالهای قبل، به مسجد الحرام نزدیک تر شده است.

Description:
TEHRAN (FNA)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei stressed the necessity for a serious punishment of those guilty in the recent bank scam, and blamed the country\'s officials for their lack of diligence in preventing the case.
\"Although authorities welcomed confrontation against economic corruption, but if action had been taken on my advice, we would have never been afflicted with such incidents as the recent corruption in the banking system,\" the Leader said, addressing a meeting with cultural and executive staff and personnel of Hajj in Tehran on Monday.
Ten years ago, the Leader had made a series of recommendations for the country\'s officials requiring them to launch a tough combat on economic corruption.
The Leader further underlined the necessity of stopping all covert and overt economic activities of such corrupt individuals as the ones involved in the recent bank scam.
Ayatollah Khamenei further assured the Iranian people of the ruling system\'s resolve to confront and prevent similar economic corruption.
The $2.8 billion embezzlement scandal involving seven government-owned and private banks, which had used fraudulent Saderat Bank documents to secure multi-billion dollar credit and purchase state-owned companies, was recently uncovered.
Iran\'s Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani has appointed Prosecutor General Hojjatoleslam Gholam- Hossein Mohseni-Ejeii to investigate the case.
On September 27, Mohseni Ejeii announced that 22 people had been arrested in connection with the case and that the exact nature of the fraud is still under investigation.
According to the Prosecutor General, necessary measures have been taken to prevent the criminals from leaving the country or transferring money to offshore accounts.
مسوولان، در ماجرای سوء استفاده بانکی دستهای خائن و مفسد را بدون ترحم قطع کنند
ساعت خبر: 11:37 - تاريخ خبر: 11/07/1390
•تلاش دشمنان برای اختلاف افکنی و مقابله با بیداری اسلامی در مراسم حج
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای رهبر انقلاب اسلامی صبح امروز (دوشنبه) در دیدار دست اندرکاران حج امسال، حج را فرصتی بسیار گرانبها و ارزشمند برای ارتباط با امت اسلامی و بهره مندی معنوی خواندند و با اشاره به تلاش دشمنان برای اختلاف افکنی و مقابله با موج بیداری اسلامی در مراسم حج ، تنها راه غلبه بر این توطئه را نزدیکتر شدن دلها و تقویت همدلی دانستند.
به گزارش واحد مرکزی خبر، ایشان همچنین در ادامه با اشاره به فساد بانکی اخیر در کشور، علت وقوع این سوء استفاده را عمل نکردن مسوولان به توصیه های مؤکد چند سال پیش رهبری در خصوص مقابله با فساد اقتصادی توصیف و تأکید کردند: مسوولان قضایی ضمن پیگیری قوی، دقیق و عاقلانه قضیه و اطلاع رسانی مناسب به مردم، باید دستهای خائن را قطع کنند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای حج را یکی از رموز اساسی اسلام و میهمانی بزرگ الهی در مرکز عظمت و قدرت و جمال و کرَم توصیف کردند و افزودند: باید در بُعد عمومی و بین المللی حج، همدلی و تقویت پیوندهای اسلامی بدون در نظر گرفتن ملیت ها، قومیت ها و مذهب ها مورد توجه جدی قرار گیرد و از این فرصت برای نزدیک تر شدن دلها استفاده شود.
ایشان یکی از ویژگیهای بارز حج امسال را، بیداری اسلامی در منطقه بویژه مصر، تونس، یمن و بحرین دانستند و تأکید کردند: با توجه به این رویداد مهم، امسال توطئه ایجاد اختلاف و بدبینی و تحریک احساسات میان امت اسلامی، برجسته تر خواهد بود و تنها راه غلبه بر این توطئه نزدیکتر شدن دلها و تقویت همدلی است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با تأکید بر اینکه مسلمانان یک تن واحد هستند، افزودند: حجاج ایرانی باید با چنین نگاه عمومی و جهانی در حج حضور یابند و تجربیات سی ساله خود در مبارزه با استکبار و معاندین را در اختیار ملتهای تازه انقلاب کرده، قرار دهند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای، رفتار خوب و همراه با ادب و احترام را از دیگر نکات ضروری برای حجاج ایرانی برشمردند و خاطر نشان کردند: حج فرصتی گرانبها برای پاکیزه شدن از آلودگی های دنیا و مجموعه ای از فرائض است که باید ضمن قدر دانستن این مراسم عظیم و کم نظیر، در حفظ ذخایر معنوی بدست آمده آن هم همت کرد.
ایشان زائران بیت الله الحرام را به آماده سازی درونی خود، قبل از سفر حج و آماده شدن برای این میهمانی الهی توصیه کردند و افزودند: حاجی ایرانی باید با رفتار خود در حج، ملت، کشور و نظام جمهوری اسلامی ایران را در چشم دنیا سربلند کند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی حجاج را به پرهیز از رفتارهای سبک توصیه و خاطر نشان کردند: یکی از این رفتارهای سبک، عطش بازارگردی است که علاوه بر اینکه ارز کشور را برای خرید کالاهای بی کیفیت به هدر می دهد، فرصت ارزشمند عبادت و بهره مندی معنوی را نیز از بین می برد.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای با تأکید بر این که خرید سوغات باید در حد ضرورت باشد، خاطر نشان کردند: برخی افراد در اقدامی پسندیده سوغات خود را قبل از سفر حج، از بازار داخل و کالاهای خوب و با کیفیت ایرانی تهیه می کنند تا بتوانند در ایام حج بیشترین بهره مندی معنوی را از این فرصت کم نظیر داشته باشند.
ایشان در پایان این بحث افزودند: معارف دینی، قرآن، سنت و اهل بیت، سرمایه های معنوی ما هستند که اگر از آنها استفاده شود، زمینه پیشرفت و سعادت بوجود می آید و اگر انسان خود را از این سرمایه ها محروم کند، قطعاً ضرر خواهد کرد.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای در ادامه با اشاره به توصیه های مؤکد خود به مسوولان، در سالهای گذشته بویژه در فرمان ده سال قبل برای مبارزه با فساد اقتصادی خاطر نشان کردند: اگر چه مسوولان از مقابله با فساد اقتصادی استقبال کردند اما اگر به این توصیه ها عمل می شد، هیچگاه دچار چنین حوادثی همچون فساد بانکی اخیر نمی شدیم.
ایشان افزودند: وقوع چنین مسائلی، ذهن و دل مردم را مشغول، و دل بسیاری را نیز می شکند و آیا این سزاوار است که بخاطر عمل نکردن مسوولان، مردم به سبب این حوادث ناراحت شوند و حتی برخی امید خود را از دست بدهند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی خاطر نشان کردند: از همان سالهای قبل بارها گفته شد که نباید بگذاریم فساد ریشه دار شود زیرا با گذشت زمان، ریشه کنی ان بسیار مشکل می شود و سرمایه گذار پاکدامن و صادق را نیز مأیوس می کند، اما متأسفانه عمل نشد.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای با اطمینان بخشی به مردم در خصوص عزم سه قوه برای مقابله با این حادثه و پیشگیری از حوادث مشابه، افزودند: البته عده ای می خواهند از این ماجرا برای زیر سؤال بردن مسوولان استفاده کنند، در حالیکه مسوولان در دولت، مجلس و قوه قضائیه مشغول انجام وظیفه خود هستند.
ایشان با اشاره به اطلاع رسانی که در روز های گذشته در خصوص این حادثه انجام گرفته است، خاطر نشان کردند: رسانه ها بیش از این نباید به جنجال و هیاهو درباره این ماجرا ادامه دهند، بلکه باید به مسئولان اجازه دهند تا عاقلانه، مدبرانه، قوی و با دقت قضایا را پیگیری و بررسی کنند.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی تأکید کردند: ادامه هیاهو و جنجال، بخصوص اگر عده ای بدنبال استفاده های دیگر از این مسائل باشند، به صلاح نیست و همه باید مراقب باشند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای افزودند: مردم بدانند که مسوولان، این ماجرا را تا آخر پیگیری خواهند کرد و دستهای خائن قطع خواهد شد.

The video showed an Israeli police using excessive force against a defenseless woman in front of a child while kicking a young boy who is detained minutes later, Press TV reported on Saturday.
Meanwhile, a report released on Thursday by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) said that Israel has since 1967 detained about 750,000 Palestinians including some 12,000 women and tens of thousands of children.
PCBS said that Israel currently holds some 6,000 Palestinians in prisons, including 35 women and 285 children.
In addition, one or more members of almost every Palestinian family have been detained by the Israeli police.
PCBS further said that more than 200 detainees have since 1967 been killed as a result of medical negligence, torture or murder by Israeli soldiers and prison guards.
On Friday, about 12,000 Gazans staged a mass rally, which was called for by the democratically elected Hamas government, to express their solidarity with the Palestinians prisoners who are on a hunger strike for the second consecutive week in response to harsh measures used against them.
�We will not rest until every Palestinian prisoner has returns to his family, we will continue our activities and resistance until we secure the release of all of our brothers and sisters who are being held captive by the Zionists,� one of the demonstrator told Press TV.

AYATULLAH KHAMENAEI’S MESSAGE
TO HAJJ PILGRIMS – 2011/1432A.H.
In the Name of Allah, the
All-Beneficent, the All-Merciful
All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may divine blessings and greetings be to the Master of the creatures, Muhammad al-Mustafa and his immaculate family and his elect companions.
The spiritual spring of Hajj has arrived with its freshness, purity and God-given grandeur and majesty, gathering again the faithful and eager hearts like butterflies encircling the Ka’bah of Divine Monotheism and Islamic Unity. Camped at Makkah and Mina, Arafat and Mash´ar are the fortunate human beings who, having responded to the call of (وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ): (22:27) “proclaim the Hajj to all the people”, are being honored with the hospitality of the Clement and Munificent Lord. Here is the blessed House and the source of guidance from which the enlightening Divine signs radiated and the canopy of safety was set up to cast its universal shade.
Wash your hearts in the Zamzam of piety, humility and God’s remembrance. Open the inner eye to the lights of the Divine signs. Embrace the spirit of submission and dedication, which are the hallmarks of true servant-hood. Keep on refreshing in your hearts the memory of that patriarch who, in willing compliance, led his Ishmael (Ismâeil) to the scene of sacrifice, thus showing us the clear path of attaining the friendship of the Glorious Lord and the manner of traversing it with a resolve infused with faith and an intent imbued with sincerity.
The station of prophet Abraham (Ibrâhim) is one among these clarifying signs. The footprint by the side of Holy Ka’bah of prophet Ibrâhim, may Peace be upon him, is only a symbol of the station of Ibrâhim. The station of Ibrâhim is his station of dedication and self-sacrifice, his fortitude and resistance to personal desires and fatherly feelings as well as against the domination of unfaith, polytheism and Nimrod, the tyrant of the time.
Today these two paths of deliverance lie open before each of us, individuals belonging to the Muslim Ummah. Determination, courage and firmness of resolve on part of each one of us can advance us towards the same goals to which mankind have been invited by the Divine envoys from Adam to the Seal of the Prophets, with the promise of dignity and felicity, in this world and in the Hereafter, for those who take this path.
It will be worthy of the Hajj pilgrims’ attention at this great assembly of the Islamic Ummah to address the most important issues of the Islamic world. The uprisings and revolutions in some important Islamic countries are at the head of these issues. The events that have taken place in the Islamic world in the period between the previous and present Hajj pilgrimages can change the destiny of the Islamic Ummah, and they forebode a bright future accompanied with dignity and progress, material and spiritual. Dictators and ‘corrupt’ taghoots, allied with foreign powers, have been overthrown in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, and the stormy waves of popular uprising in some other countries threaten to bring down the castles of wealth and power.
This new chapter in the history of Our Ummah reveals certain facts which are all manifest Divine signs and give us vital lessons. These facts should be taken into account by Muslim nations in all their calculations.
First, a young generation has emerged from the hearts of these nations after decades of political subjugation to foreign powers, which with its admirable self-confidence, is ready to face threats, confront the dominant powers and is determined to change the status-quo.
Second, despite the authority and efforts of secular rulers and their overt and covert measures to curtail the influence of religion in these countries, Islam, with its conspicuous and impressive presence, has become the guiding principle of popular expression and sentiment. Like a fountainhead effusing through popular discourse and behavior it has given vitality and freshness to the rallies and activities of the millions. The mosques and minarets, Islamic slogans and calls of Allahu Akbar, all are clear indications of this fact and the recent Tunisian elections provide decisive evidence for this claim. There is no doubt that free elections in any Islamic country will hardly result in anything but what happened in Tunisia.
Moreover, as revealed for all by this year’s events, God Almighty has placed such a force in the resolve and determination of nations that no power whatsoever can withstand it. With this God-given power nations can change their destiny and partake of Divine help.
Furthermore, during the last decades arrogant powers, led by the United States, had reduced the regional states to a subjugate condition through their political and security tactics. They imagined to have opened an obstacle-free highway for their rising economic, cultural and political domination over this susceptible part of the world. But now they are the primary target of the disgust and hatred of the region’s nations. Undoubtedly, the regimes emerging from these revolutions will never submit to the disgraceful inequalities of the past, and the political geography of the region will be drawn by the nations in pursuance of their dignity and complete independence.
In addition, the crafty nature of the hypocritical Western powers has become all too apparent for the people of these countries. The U.S. and Europe made their utmost efforts to retain their pawns in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, each of them in a particular way. But when their wishes had to give in before the resolve of the nations, they cast a wily friendly smile at the triumphant public.
There are further precious facts and manifest Divine signs embedded in the regional events of the past year, which are not hard to discern for reflective minds.
Nevertheless, the entire Islamic Ummah and especially the revolutionary nations stand in need of two basic elements:
First, the continuity of their stand and avoidance of slackness in resolve. In the Qur’an, the Divine summons to the Greatest Messenger, may God bless him and his family, are addressed in these words:
فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلاَ تَطْغَوْا
“Be steadfast, just as you have been commanded—[by Allah] and whoever has turned [to God] with you—and do not overstep the bounds (11:112)” and (فَلِذَلِكَ فَادْعُ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ). “Be steadfast, just as you have been commanded (42:15).” The Prophet Moses, may peace be upon him, is quoted as telling his people:
(وقَالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللّهِ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ الأَرْضَ لِلّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ)
“Turn to God for help and be patient. The earth indeed belongs to God, and He gives its inheritance to whomever He wishes of His servants, and the outcome will be in favor of the pious people. ” (7:128)
At the present, the most significant aspect of piety for the risen nations is not to halt in their auspicious movement, and not to let themselves be diverted by the achievements of this phase. This is the important part of the piety whose possessors are rewarded with the “favorable outcome.”
Second, careful awareness with regard to the plots and gimmicks of the arrogant international powers who have suffered a setback from these uprisings and revolutions. They evidently will not sit idle. They will reenter the arena with all their political, financial and security outfits to reestablish their influence and control in these countries. Their outfits are carrot and stick and deceit. Experience has shown there are some among the elite who are susceptible to these gimmicks. Fear, greed or negligence prompt them to serve the enemy. The vigilant eyes of the youth, intellectuals and religious scholars should be closely watchful.
The greatest threat posed by the Camp of Unfaith and arrogant powers lies in its intervention and influence over the structures of the new political systems in these countries. They will do their utmost to see that the new systems do not take on an Islamic and republic identity. All the concerned people in these countries and all those who cherish their homeland’s honor, dignity and progress should work to ensure the complete and perfect Islamic and republic character of the emergent polity. In this regard, the role of the constitutions will be significant. National unity and official recognition of sectarian, tribal and ethnic differences are a precondition of future success.
The valiant revolutionary nations of Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, as well as other awakened and combatant nations, should know that the sole means of deliverance from the oppression and guile of the United States and other Western hubristic powers is to establish a global balance of power conducive to their interests. The Muslims should bring themselves on a par with the great world powers in order to be able to reach a serious solution of their problems with the World-devourers. This cannot be achieved except with the cooperation, understanding and solidarity of Islamic countries. This was an unforgettable advice of the great Imam Khomeini.
For months on, the United States and NATO dropped bombs on the heads of the Libyan people making Gaddafi, a vicious dictator, an excuse. Gaddafi was someone who was considered their close friend before the valiant uprising of the Libyan people. They used to coddle him, steal the wealth of Libya through his hands and press or kiss his hand in order to dupe him. Following the people’s uprising, they made him an excuse to destroy the entire infrastructure of Libya. Which state could stop the tragic massacre of the Libyan people and destruction of the country at the hands of NATO? Until the claws and fangs of the bloodthirsty and barbaric Western powers are not broken, such dangers will remain conceivable for Islamic countries. Their safety from such dangers is not possible except by forming the Islamic world as a powerful pole.
Today the West, United States and Zionism are weaker than ever before. Economic troubles, successive failures in Afghanistan and Iraq, deep-running public outrage in America and other Western countries with its daily widening scope, the struggles and sacrifices of the people of Palestine and Lebanon, the daring popular uprisings in Yemen, Bahrain and some other countries under American influence—all these are significant portents for the Islamic Ummah, especially for the emergent revolutionary nations. Faithful men and women throughout the Islamic world, particularly in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya should make the most of this opportunity for the formation of an international Islamic power block. The vanguard and the elite of the uprisings should place their trust in Almighty God and, with reliance on His promise of help, adorn the new chapter in the history of the Islamic Ummah with their lasting achievements, thus earning God’s approval and fulfilling the prerequisites of His help
May Peace be upon God’s righteous servants!

Economic troubles, successive failures in Afghanistan and Iraq, deep-running public outrage in America and other Western countries with its daily widening scope, the struggles and sacrifices of the people of Palestine and Lebanon, the daring popular uprisings in Yemen, Bahrain and some other countries under American influence—all these are significant portents for the Islamic Ummah, especially for the emergent revolutionary nations. Faithful men and women throughout the Islamic world, particularly in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya should make the most of this opportunity for the formation of an international Islamic power block. The vanguard and the elite of the uprisings should place their trust in Almighty God and, with reliance on His promise of help, adorn the new chapter in the history of the Islamic Ummah with their lasting achievements, thus earning God’s approval and fulfilling the prerequisites of His help
May Peace be upon God’s righteous servants!

Head of Iran's Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee says the presence of foreign troops in neighboring Afghanistan is a serious threat to regional security and stability.
“Contemporary experiences in countries like Germany and Japan have shown that the presence of foreign forces in any country will violate that country's sovereignty,” Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Wednesday.
Speaking in a meeting with the visiting Afghan Deputy Defense Minister Mohammad Homayoun Fawzi, he went on to say that undermining the brotherly relations between regional countries is the main political and security approach adopted by the US and the UK.
“We must not allow foreign powers to sabotage the friendly relations between neighboring countries through their interventionist measures,” Majlis official news agency, ICANA, quoted him as saying.
The lawmaker further stated that the Islamic Republic will spare no effort to help with the development, progress and establishment of calm in Afghanistan.
Boroujerdi also voiced Iran's protest to the recent violation of the country's airspace by a US spy drone which took off from Afghanistan, saying that the incident was against the international obligations of Afghanistan and in violation of international law.
“The government of Afghanistan must account for such incidents and prevent their repetition in the future,” he added.
A US RQ-170 spy drone crossed Afghanistan's border with Iran on December 4, but was successfully brought down with minimal damage by the Iranian Army's electronic warfare unit. The aircraft was flying over the northeastern Iran city of Kashmar, some 225 kilometers (140 miles) away from the Afghan border.
The Afghan minister, for his part, praised the Iranian government and nation for helping in the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
“The Afghan nation will never forget the Iranian nation's support under difficult conditions,” he added.
While Afghanistan's defense ministry has announced that the Afghan army is ready to take responsibility for the country's security, after the invading US-led troops leave, senior American and NATO officials have signaled that foreign troops will remain in the country beyond 2014.
The US-led invasion of Afghanistan was waged in 2001 under the pretext of 'war on terror' and with the declared aim of toppling the Taliban regime and establishing security in the war-torn country.
However, insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of nearly 150,000 US-led forces in the country.
