'West kills Iraqis, Afghans in cold blood'
[Iran Press TV] The Leader of the Islamic theocracy Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the global arrogance is killing people in Iraq and Afghanistan in "cold blood."

Addressing a gathering of Iranian students and scholars in the holy city of Qom, Ayatollah Khamenei said the atrocities committed by foreign forces in Iraq and Afghanistan show that they are the "enemies of humanity."

The Leader said such crimes were the "result of the Western world's distance from divine thought" and the "abuse of power and wealth" by hegemonic powers.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the West's materialistic view lacks any basic purpose and only seeks worldly interests. The Leader said despite repeated failures the West continues to plot to distort the facts about Iran.

Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the global hegemony continues to devise "plots" against the Islamic Theocratic Republic despite its repeated failures.

"Arrogant powers, through their advanced propaganda tools, are trying to distort the fact about the country," the Leader said on Tuesday.

Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to enemy plots to create the "antithesis" of the Islamic theocracy, once soon after its victory in 1979 and again after the death of the founder of the Islamic theocracy, Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini, in 1989.

The Leader stressed that the Iranian nation should show greater "insight" in the face of enemy plots against the Islamic Theocratic Republic.

Ayatollah Khamenei said such insight includes a view of the world as a systematic and purposeful entity for human beings.

"Considering this fact, the Islamic establishment and the Iranian nation should vigilantly seek long-term plans to counter these plots," the Leader said.

Ayatollah Khamenei referred to last year's post-election events as yet another failure for Iran's enemies.

The Leader lamented the "lack of insight" by some candidates, who claimed the presidential vote was rigged and resorted to unlawful ways.
