US sought sabotage in Iran the past 33 years
2012-02-12
Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Saturday that the US has always sought sabotage in Iran in a bid to dishearten the people from the Islamic Revolution, IRNA reported.
It's working, too...
Operation Lemony Snickett.
Addressing a ceremony marking the 33rd victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, he said that the Iranian nation withstood the enemies in the past 33 years through vigilance and resistance.

'The eight-year US-backed Iraqi-imposed war, economic sanctions and terror acts were all among the plots hatched by the US but the more they mounted pressure, the Iranian nation stood stronger,' Mehmanparast said.

The arrogant powers are trying to dishearten the people from the Islamic Revolution and create discord in the country, he said, adding that today the people showed that they are still loyal to the Islamic Revolution and Imam Khomeini's ideals through massive turnout.

#3  In other words, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been at war with the USA since it seized the American and took its diplomats prisoner.

#2  the US has always sought sabotage in Iran

I would hope. It seems there are fair number of people in Iran who don't agree with the Islamic Revolution. Obama seemed to be against these people before he was for them or was it the other way around? I forget after all the flip flops, flop flips, and walk backs.

#1  Of course seizing one's embassy and holding the diplomatic personnel as hostages has been considered an act of war by most historical standards up until the Carter Era.
