“Instead of direct conflict and paying a high price, the arrogant Western front is after creating internal crises in countries like Iran and this is [also] why it adopts different resolutions against the Iranian nation,” Mehmanparast said on Wednesday.
Mehmanparast added that by mounting pressure, the West is trying to prepare the grounds for protests and disagreement in Iran and influence the result of the 2013 presidential election.Iran’s eleventh presidential election will be held on June 14, 2013. The Islamic Republic’s president is elected for a four-year term and candidates must be vetted for their qualifications by the Guardian Council.
“After the collapse of former Soviet Union, the Western world believed that it faced no obstacles in implementing its agenda in the region, but the wave of the Islamic Awakening and people’s presence in the scene to determine their own fate without dependence on the West altered the international order,” Mehmanparast stated.
“The American-Zionist current has taken many measures to prevent this awakening,” Mehmanparast said, adding that sowing discord among regional countries is one of the measures taken by the West.
Referring to the ongoing unrest in Syria, Mehmanparast said the West is trying to break the anti-Israel resistance movement under the pretext of defending people’s demands.
“Despite their claims, Western countries seek to prolong the conflict and send arms [to be used in the] massacre of innocent Syrians. They are not after stability [in Syria] because stability leads to more cooperation among regional countries and this is not in the interest of the Zionist regime [of Israel],” the Iranian official added.
Syria has been scene of deadly unrest since March 2011 which has claimed the lives of thousands of Syrians including a large number of Syrian soldiers and security forces.
