U.S. Behind Any Major Terrorist Act in the World

By: Hamid Reza Naghashian

TEHRAN (Iran News) – For decades or better to say at least in the recent century all of U.S. administrations have resorted to force, plot and finally terrorist acts to tame the countries which do not obey their policy and the Islamic Revolution in Iran since its victory in 1979 has been the target of any plot and terrorist act which has been engineered by the U.S. and its allies mainly Israel.

If we have a short review of the contemporary history, we can find the trace of plots and terrorists acts in most countries which have been supported by the U.S. administrations.

Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Colombia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Iran are some examples of victims of the U.S.’s plots and support of terrorist acts, and the U.S. actually has resorted to supporting terrorists in the Middle Eastern countries because Muslims are good excuse for the U.S. to use terrorists and then blame the Muslims and accusing fundamentalism as the factor behind terrorism while in fact this is the U.S. who engineers these terrorist groups either financially or politically.

Iran since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, the country has been the target of any plot of the U.S. and even before the Islamic Revolution, the U.S. administrations used to resort to different plots to keep Pahlavi rulers in power.

On Sunday, Iran’s top human rights official said the United States is “directly” responsible for any act of terror since it was Washington that created many terrorist groups.

Kazem Gharibabadi, secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, said the Islamic Republic has all the necessary documents proving the United States set up terrorist groups not only inside Iran but across the region.

“Groups such as al-Qaeda, Daesh and the al-Nusra were all created by the United States and the responsibility for the terrorist acts by these groups and their members lies directly with the US.”

Gharibabadi said the U.S. and its Western allies hatched a plot after the victory of the Islamic Revolution to “disintegrate various parts of the country by creating terrorist groups.”

One such group, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) has killed and martyred more than 17,000 oppressed Iranian people, he said, adding that Tehran has warned Western countries that the MKO would show no mercy to them.

“We have recently witnessed events in France and Albania. These countries have now come to the conclusion that such groups are fundamentally terrorist and they even threaten their host countries,” Gharibabadi said.

Iran insists the terrorist nature of the Western-backed MKO will always remain a threat to the security of its host countries.

 

MKO members spent many years in Iraq, where they were hosted and armed by the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. They sided with Saddam during the 1980-88 imposed war against Iran and then helped him quell domestic uprisings in various parts of the Arab country.

Gharibabadi said while Iran has effectively worked to uproot terrorist groups in the region, the United States assassinated the top Iranian anti-terror commander Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani and his companions.

General Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and his Iraqi fellow Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), were martyred along with their companions in a US drone strike on January 3, 2020.

The two anti-terror commanders were tremendously revered across the region for their instrumental role in fighting and decimating the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in the region, particularly in Iraq and Syria.

“Illegal unilateral” sanctions are among the principal crimes committed by Washington against Tehran, the official said, in reference to the United States’ numerous crimes against Iran.

“The U.S. has committed a humanitarian crime against the Iranian nation. Washington has imposed the most extensive and cruel sanctions against the people of Iran.”

The top Iranian rights official said the U.S. has imposed unilateral sanctions on over 25 countries but still claims to defend human rights.

Gharibabadi further said the United States’ record is replete with crimes against Iran and numerous other countries including Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua, Iraq and Afghanistan.

So what Mr. Gharibabadi mentioned is just simple evidences for proving the crimes of the U.S. and its support of terrorism in countries. We have not forgotten yet the crimes of MKO in Iran who took the lives of many people because of bomb blasts and they have been given shelters in the U.S. or pro-U.S. countries.

Therefore we recommend the U.S. to stop blaming Iran, other countries and groups for terrorism and baseless claim of supporting terrorism because the U.S. is itself the main supporter of terrorism which is used to materialize the goals of Washington in its target states and the Islamic Republic of Iran has been itself the victim of terrorism and its fight against terrorism is real and not for fooling others like what the U.S. does.
