Senior MP Terms Iran Most Secure Country in Region
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian legislator described the Islamic Republic of Iran as the most secure country in the region, and said certain regional countries like Iraq and Lebanon also owe their security to Tehran's might and power.
"The Islamic Iran, despite sharing 2,000km of borders with the most unsecure countries of the world, enjoys the most security in the region," Vice-Speaker of the parliament Hassan Abutorabi Fard said on Saturday.
"Today the Islamic Republic is so powerful that not only is it able to provide its own security, but also the security in Iraq and Lebanon is the result of the Islamic Republic's security," he added.
Abutorabi Fard also blamed the US and other foreign forces in the region for insecurities in the Middle-East.
Most world countries, including Iran, have blamed foreign forces for continued instability in the regional countries and have called for their complete pullout from the region.
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei called the continued presence of the US military forces in Afghanistan as the main cause of insecurity in the war-torn country.
Speaking at a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his companions here in Tehran in June, Ayatollah Khamenei cautioned about the dangerous consequence of the US efforts to establish permanent military bases in the region, specially in Afghanistan.
"Americans are after permanent bases in Afghanistan, which is a dangerous issue because as long the US troops are in Afghanistan, there would be no real security," the Leader warned.
"The Afghan people are suffering from the US military presence in their country since this presence is a great pain for them and the entire region," Ayatollah Khamenei stated.
The Leader further stressed that Afghans are capable of controlling their affairs and determining their fate, and urged a rapid pullout of the foreign troops from Afghanistan, saying that the sooner the aliens withdraw their troops from Afghanistan, the better it will be for the Afghan and the regional people.
