Supreme Leader: US to suffer consecutive defeats
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, March 21, IRNA -- Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said in Masshad on Monday that the US will suffer consecutive defeats in the Middle East region in the future.
Addressing a group of visitors to the holy shrine of the eighth Imam of Shiites, Hazrat Ali Ibn Moussa al-Reza (AS) on the first day of the New Year, Ayatollah Khamenei said the US has shown contradictory stances on Libya events recently.
“Americans were initially shocked over the (Libya) incidents, hesitating what a sort of analysis they should present. They did not know what is happening.
They could not believe it. Since they did not know what is happening and since they did not have a correct analysis of the events and did not know the public, so they offered contradictory stances,” said the Islamic Revolution Paramount Leader.
What so far has been obvious from Americans’ attitude towards the said and other countries is their support for dictators, said the Paramount Leader, adding that Americans supported former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak up to the last moment. “When they (Americans) realized that such a thing (support) is no longer possible, they then stopped supporting him (Mubarak). This should serve as a lesson for the pro-US rulers.”
Having lost their agents in the countries (Egypt and Tunisia), Americans used two tactics: opportunism and assimilation, said Ayatollah Khamenei, adding that by the tactic of opportunism, the US tried to use revolutions in the countries in its own favor and deceive the public by voicing sympathy with them and bringing its own puppets into power. “They (Americans) failed in this case too.”
