Senior Iranian general says Saudi government will soon be toppled
[NYT] A top Iranian general said that the leadership of Saudi Arabia was on the edge of collapse and would be toppled soon "Allah willing".During a speech in Tehran, Islamic Revolutionary Guards chief General Mohammad Ali Jafari called the Saudi-led bombardment of Yemen "shameless and rude and an affront to all Islamic values." "The traitor Saudi Arabia is following the path of Israel," Jafari said, according to the semiofficial news agency Tasnim, adding, "Saudi Arabia is bombarding this country without any coordination with international bodies. We can no longer stay silent." Jafari predicted that the Saudi campaign in Yemen would backfire. He also commented on Iran’s rising power, saying that "with the passing of time, all the tricks of the Islamic republic's enemies are deciphered." The general said Iranian ideology prescribes an export of the revolution. He said, "The final cause and goal of the Islamic Revolution is creating an Islamic civilization. And we do our best to develop in the path of creating Islamic civilization." Jafari joined other Iranian authorities in predicting that the Saudi monarchy would be toppled by a popular uprising. He said, "The House of Saud is on the edge of disintegration and collapse. Regional and international analysts have talked about it a lot, and we hope that it will come true."
