‘Foreign intervention in region will fail’

The Iranian Army has warned that any foreign military intervention in the region is doomed to failure, noting that supporters of the executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein are repeating their past mistakes by stoking tension in the region.

The Army said in a statement issued on the occasion of the Sacred Defense Week, which marks the 1980-1988 Iraqi-imposed war against Iran: “Previous supporters of Saddam intend to repeat their past mistakes through warmongering in the region and the mass killing of innocent people, ignoring the fact that the resolve of nations determines the situation in the region and is the only means of weathering the crisis, and any foreign intervention is doomed to failure.”
It added that the double standards applied by the global arrogance in turning a blind eye on the crimes perpetrated by terrorists, while providing financial and military support for the enemies of peace and the interests of regional nations have “stained the hands of superpowers with the blood of nations.”
The statement further pointed out: “The outcome of such an approach is increasing global hatred, the outcry of nations for fighting injustice, and the imminent downfall of arrogant powers.”
