Iran MP calls for military use in Bahrain
[Iran Press TV] Amid a Saudi-backed brutal clampdown on Bahraini anti-government protesters, an Iranian politician has proposed that the Islamic Theocratic Republicshould dispatch its military forces to the Persian Gulf state. "I believe that the Iranian government should not be reluctant to prepare the country's military forces at a time that Soddy Arabia has dispatched its troops to Bahrain," Khabar Online quoted Head of the Islamic theocracy Faction of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Ruhollah Hosseinian as saying on Sunday. He added that the Iranian government should prevent Soddy Arabia from imposing a military occupation on another regional country. The politician emphasized that Iran's Foreign Ministry should have taken a firm international stance on the Saudi military invasion of Bahrain and the violent massacre of the Bahraini people. "Iran's Foreign Ministry should have made greater efforts and should have filed international lawsuits against the Saudi government and asked for the assistance of the Organization of the Islamic Conference OIC is an international organisation with a permanent delegation to the UN, with 57 member states. It represents all countries with substantial Moslem populations (as opposed to the Arab League, which excludes members not of the Master Race) except those which member countries block from joining. These include India, which has more Mohammedans than does Pakistain, whose membership is vetoed by Pakistain... regarding the massacre of the Bahraini people," Hosseinian said. He noted that the Bahraini civilians are currently under enormous pressure but world powers are heedless of events in the Persian Gulf country "just because they are Shia Mohammedans." Since February 14, Manama has been conducting a brutal crackdown on protesters who want an end to the rule of the Al Khalifa dynasty. In March, Soddy Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait deployed their troops to Bahrain to reinforce the armed clampdowns. According to the state-funded BBC, the harsh crackdown has so far left over 30 people dead. Posted by: Fred 2011-04-12 |
