NCRI – The United States has once again stressed that the clerical regime in Iran is trying to exploit the Arab uprisings in the Middle East, warning that people in the region should be aware of the regime’s intentions.
At a press conference in Berlin on Friday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said, “We want people in the region to understand that the Iranian Government’s motive here is to destabilize countries, not to assist them in their democratic transitions; because after all, their 1979 revolution was derailed and it has unfortunately evolved into a totalitarian state where the government is trying to control the thoughts, the speech, the actions of the citizens on every front.”
She also told reporters on the sidelines of a NATO summit, “We hear Iran praising the uprisings in the Middle East and in North Africa, except it doesn’t praise what happens inside Iran and it doesn’t praise what is happening in Syria. It is a further example of the hypocrisy of the Iranian regime.”
“We do see activities by Iran to try to take advantage of these uprisings. They are trying to exploit unrest. They are trying to advance their agenda in neighboring countries. They continue to try to undermine peace and stability to provoke further conflict. So we’re very watchful,” she added.
