 An Iranian news agency is reporting that the nation's "Fearless Supreme Leader" has lashed out at US President George W. Bush, threatening to "smash the arrogant powers," if "huge powers" become involved in the current nuclear standoff. Fars News Agency, closely affiliated with the Iranian Judiciary, has quoted Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has called on Muslim leaders to join together to "paralyze" the United States. An excerpt from the English translation report follows:
| “Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has called on Muslim leaders to join together to "paralyze" the United States...” |
"This Person (Bush) speaks as if he were the master and owner of Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Iran and other Muslim states, but if the huge power of nations comes to the scene -- as it happened in Lebanon, it will smash the arrogant powers so badly that the enemies of Islam will no longer be able to continue with their rude and arrogant behavior," Ayatollah Khamenei said, while addressing a public meeting here on Tuesday also attended by the heads of the three branches of the government, the Expediency Council Chairman, the state and military officials, and Ambassadors of Muslim states on the feast of Mab'ath (i.e. anniversary of Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) divine assignment to prophethood).
He said that the world hegemonic powers had pinned much hope in the former dictator of Iran, i.e. the Pahlavi dynasty, and reminded, "But Imam Khomeini provided a huge service for this nation and brought Iranians to the scene. If the same pattern of vigilance takes place in all the Islamic states and Muslim nations come to the scene, the United States and other arrogant powers of the world will be paralyzed in the face of the huge power of the nations." |
