Supreme Leader’s Adviser Says US Strategies in SW Asia Failed

4000c76b4f93e8364ce65710eaec50c1_LWashington’s schemes to form a new Middle East have ended in failure, a senior military adviser to Supreme Leader stressed, and added that nations in southwest Asia are moving towards independence following the wave of Islamic Awakening that has traversed the region.

“The US strategy in southwestern Asia to form a new Middle East has ended in failure,” Brigadier General Seyed Yahya Rahim Safavi said in a conference on geopolitics of southwest Asia.
He also noted that thanks to the Islamic Awakening movement in recent years, the nations in southwest Asia are moving towards independence and replacing the despotic, hereditory and foreign-backed political systems with democratic ones that are deeply rooted in the islamic culture and traditions.
The term “New Middle East’ was introduced to the world in June 2006 by then US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to replace the older and more imposing term, the “Greater Middle East.”
This announcement was a confirmation of an Anglo-American-Israeli “military roadmap” in the Middle East. This project, which has been in the planning stages for several years, consists in creating an arc of instability, chaos, and violence extending from Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria to Iraq, the Persian Gulf, Iran, and the borders of Afghanistan.
Brigadier General Rahim Safavi further pointed to the concept of human-oriented geopolitics, and described the issue as the use of politics, power and geography to serve the interests of humanity on the basis of peace, security and justice.
He went on to say that human-oriented geopolitics pursues an environment void of weapons of mass destruction, and entails elimination of all nuclear stockpiles in southwest Asia, particularly those in possession of the Zionist regime of Israel.
