Iran’s Civil Defense Chief: Washington Waging Proxy Wars in Mideast

Head of Iran’s Civil Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholam Reza Jalali said that the divisive plots hatched by the US through waging proxy wars in the Middle-Eastern countries, including in Syria, Iraq and Yemen is doomed to failure due to regional nation’s vigilance.

“The US is seeking to wage proxy wars in the region,” General Jalali said, addressing a conference in the city of Babolsar, Northern Iran, on Thursday.

The Iranian civil defense chief wondered why the US and its allies have not learned enough lessons from their continued defeats in waging proxy wars in the region.

In October, Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei urged Shiite and Sunni Muslims to grow united against the divisive plots hatched by the enemies.

In an address to people from different walks of life on the occasion of Eid al-Qadir, Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei urged Muslims not to get involved in any move that would play into enemies’ hands.

“Shiites and Sunnis shouldn’t help the enemy by desecrating their sanctities and provoking one another’s sentiments,” the Leader underlined.

The enemies of Islam have always sought to drive a wedge between Shiites and Sunnis in order to deflect their attention from the real enemy, the Supreme Leader underlined.

“If anyone fuels the fire in this regard (the so-called fight against the ISIL), he or she will definitely be helping sinister America and Britain which are the creators of the ISIL and Al-Qaeda,” the Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei stressed.
