Iran Has Signed Up 10,000 For Suicide Missions Against The US In Iraq
Mullahs Openly Call For Export of Terrorism
Mohammad Ali Samadi, the spokesman for the ?Committee for Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement?, a front set up by the Revolutionary Guards, announced yesterday in Tehran that his committee has so far ?registered 10,000 people to carry out martyrdom operations? in Iraq.
In his Friday prayers sermon, mullah Ahmad Jannati, secretary of the Guardian Council, said: ?It is the duty of every Muslim to stand against the United States and Britain and threaten their interests anywhere,? and added: ?We should not confine Imam Khomeini solely to Iran and the Islamic Republic. He proposed a global Islamic government and export of Islamic revolution, so that all nations would benefit from its blessing.?
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei described the Iraqi new government on Thursday as a ?U.S. puppet? in what was an opening salvo for venomous attacks by Iranian authorities and state-run media on the new government in Baghdad. In its Saturday editorial, the state-owned Islamic Republic daily wrote that ?taking orders from? the new government would be haraam, or religiously forbidden, and promised ?harsh consequences? for those who cooperate with the new cabinet.
Last Wednesday, in the ?First International Commemoration? of suicide bombers, which was held in a government-owned hall in Tehran, Revolutionary Guards Brigadier General Salami, director of operations of of the Revolutionary Guards? Joint Chiefs of Staff, delivered a speech titled ?Suicide operations from security and military strategy aspect? and Hassan Abbassi, one of the top officials of the Revolutionary Guards and ?head of Center for the Doctrine of Security Without Borders? spoke about ?Suicide operations: the last resort?. The event was reported by the state controlled news agency and the media in Iran.
Referring to the regime?s nuclear weapons program, Salami said: ?The Americans now know that the Muslims with tendencies for suicide missions have acquired new technology and have technological capabilities which has caused more fear for them.?
By euphemistically calling terrorism ?asymmetric defense,? Abbassi said: ?Our present doctrine vis-à-vis the enemy is asymmetric defense. States that operate within the framework of humanism cannot make use of this doctrine, because they make their decisions on the basis of military hardware they have and do not go to the war without weapons and equipment.?
?If Muslims create fear in the heathen world, this fear is sacred; it is not terrorism or violence,? Abbassi added.
