| BAGHDAD: Iran has denied sending weapons for terrorists in Iraq, according to a statement on Thursday by the Chairman of the Iranian Islamic Shoura Council’s “America is not afraid of our weapons, but of the roots of the Islamic Revolutionary Thought,” Parviz Sirouri told Mehr news agency, adding that “the US can’t find a single evidence for its claim.” Sirouri said that “the U.S. charges were baseless and had been announced at a time when weapons were being sent to Syria, across the Iraqi-Syrian borders, that are supposed to be under observation by the American forces, whilst America is also closing eyes towards the weapons entering Syria from the Lebanese territories.” “Iraqis don’t need weapons, but they need the Islamic Revolutionary Thought, which is present in Iraq nowadays,” he added. And they don't need any other thoughts, eh... Answering a question about the reason for the escalation of the terrorist acts in Iraq over the past short period, Sirouri said: “America is trying to stay in Iraq and to escape its commitments to withdraw from that country, that is why it is trying to show that the situation in Iraq is not stable and needs the extension of its troops presence for a longer time.” |
