Islamabad, Dec 10, IRNA — Pakistan’s former Army Chief says all attempts,especially the crippling sanctions, to break the will of the Iranians havefailed, adding the killing of Iranian Nuclear Scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadehshows that enemies of Iran are against the basis of Islamic System.
General (retd) Mirza Aslam Beg who is opposed to US policies and itsinterference in the region, in an article published in English daily ’TheNation’ entitled ‘Safeguarding the basis of our Islamic system,’ said, ofthe killing of Fakhrizadeh is not about Iranian Nukes but against theIslamic System.
He said Imam Khomeini had once stated that ‘our enemies are against thebasis of our Islamic System, and they will never cease their enmity’ whichis the ‘fundamental truth’.
He noted that the enemies of the Islamic system had encouraged Saddam toinvade Iran, which turned into an eight-year-long bloodbath, with Irancrossing the Shatt al-Arab to capture Basra, when Saddam used chemicalweapons, supplied by the civilized world, to stem the Iranian offensive.
“Then followed a series of crippling sanctions and embargoes for the nextthirty years that could also not break the will of the Iranians,” statedGeneral (retd) Mirza Aslam Beg.
He noted early this year, a loose coalition was formed under the WarsawPlan, to punish Iran preceded by Trump’s targeted assassination of IranianGeneral, Qasim Solemani.
He added the US allocated a sum of US$ 1.4 billion, for perceptionmanagement of the Pakistani nation, as if we were the Native Americans tobe disciplined.
General Mirza Aslam Beg stressed the need of the hour is to seek socialharmony based on a just democratic order that could safeguard the ‘basis ofour Islamic system’ resonating in harmony with Revolutionary Iran toprovide the much-needed strategic depth of security, to this part of theIslamic world, under attack.
Last week, the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an officialstatement condemning the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, Head of theResearch and Innovation Organization of the Ministry of Defense, said suchacts run contrary to all norms of interstate relations and InternationalLaw.
