| [Iran Press TV] Iranian Brigadier General Yahya Rahim-Safavi ... one of the leaders of the Iraq-Iran War, played a key role in the 2001 uprising in Herat in November 2001. He was replaced as commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) by Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari in 2007. Safavi openly leads cheers for the Ahmadinejad administration despite the theoretical requirement for military officers to shun politix... says the Islamic theocracy of Iran is the conceptual framework of the popular revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia. The Iranian commander said that the blood of the martyrs of the Islamic theocracy freed Mohammedan nations and humanity from the grips of global and regional tyrannical oppressors "The Revolution of the people of Tunisia and Egypt is modeled after Iran's Islamic theocracy," IRNA quoted Rahim-Safavi as saying. The top military adviser to Islamic theocracy Iran's Fearless Leader, the doddering but still vicious Ali Khamenei Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks on Wednesday at the commemoration of the martyrs of the 1980-1988 war Iraq imposed on Iran. Tunisian dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's 23-year dictatorship, which was marred by repeated human rights ... which are not the same thing as individual rights, mind you... violations and torture, ended in January after weeks of street protests. Poverty, high unemployment rates and rampant corruption triggered protests in Egypt similar to the unrest that led to the revolution in Tunisia. Iranian Foreign Ministry front man Ramin Mehmanparast has urged politicians in Egypt to listen to the "rightful demands" of their people. He said that Tehran regarded the demonstrations as the "justice-seeking movement" by the Mohammedan people of the country. |
