Iran proposes counterterrorism satrapy
2011-05-08
[Iran Press TV] Senior Iranian politician Kazem Jalali says cooperation among Iran, Pakistain and Afghanistan in fighting terrorism will help eliminate US presence in the region.
Oh, yeah, I know I'd sleep better with these three on the anti terrorism beat...
Some of the terrorist measures taken against the Islamic Theocratic Republic could be traced to Pakistain, front man for the Majlis (Parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said on Saturday.

"Therefore establishing Iran, Pakistain and Afghanistan triangle for fighting terrorism could help cut the hand of the US and its allies off the region," Majlis news agency (ICANA) quoted Jalali as saying.

Jalali describe the establishment of a security apparatus in the region as an effective measure to preserve security and stability in the region and said the best way to fight terrorism was close cooperation between security and intelligence apparatuses of Iran and Pakistain.

In a meeting with Pak Senate Chairman Farooq H Naik on Thursday, Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani stressed the cooperation between the two countries' security apparatuses.

"The Americans have increased their attacks against certain parts in Afghanistan and Pakistain by taking advantage of their position in the region, and they are trying to portray their actions as anti-terrorist and a justification for their military presence in the region."

Jalali added that the US justified its military presence in the region by using the gunnies it has trained and controlled as a pretext.
