Imam Khamenei’s Aide Urges Regional Arab Leaders to Revise Policy on Iran

Senior Military Aide to the Supreme Leader Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi called on certain regional Arab states to revise their foreign policy towards Iran after some Persian Gulf littoral states forged an alliance with Israel against the recently struck nuclear deal between Iran and the world powers.

“The regional states should define their relations with Iran based on a constructive approach towards establishment of security in Asia instead of adopting a wrong foreign policy based on friendship with the Zionist regime against Iran,” General Rahim Safavi said.

He said the US remains loyal to no one and “royal families and Arab kingdoms should take a lesson from the destiny of Iran’s dethroned king and the slain Libyan dictator, Muammar al-Qaddafi”.

Meantime, he said that the US is a symbol of oppression which has blown a strike on Iran’s interests whenever it has found the chance.

“The historical background of their (Americans) foreign policy shows that they are the government of deception, seduction and bullying,” General Rahim Safavi said.

Last month, Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani warned that the Zionist regime is attempting to make Arab countries forget their number one enemy which is Israel itself.

The Zionist regime’s propaganda machine has been making hue and cry, since the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in order for the Arabs to forget their number one enemy, Rafsanjani said.

He made the remarks in a meeting with participants of a scientific and research gathering to mark solidarity with the Palestinian people.
