U.S. seeking to undermine Iran-Europe interests
TEHRAN, July 7 (MNA) – Iran's Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri stated on Tuesday that the United States is seeking to threaten the joint interests of Iran and Europe through its plan to station missile interceptors on Polish soil.
“Iran and Europe share many interests, and the U.S. move is intended” to threaten “these joint interests”, the commander said.
The brigadier general dismissed the allegation that Iran poses a threat to Europe, saying Iran’s military capability is designed only for defensive purposes.
The Islamic Republic’s behavior proves that Iran has never taken a preemptive attack against any country, but the world has not seen a day in which the United States is in peace with other countries, he explained.
“Basically, one of the foreign policy doctrines of the United States is the need to have an enemy or to share an enemy with Europe,” he noted, adding that under the current circumstances Iran perfectly fits the bill.
Jazayeri, who is the director of the Armed Forces Cultural Affairs Department, said that the U.S. is also seeking to extend the reach of its military and political domination over Europe and Russia through the missile defense pact.
He warned Russia and Europe not to fall into the U.S. trap.
Last year U.S. President Barack Obama decided to shelve a plan by his predecessor to deploy a long-range missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, opting instead to use smaller missile interceptors.
