Khamenei calls for more terror attacks on West
Western intelligence sources said that Iran's supreme
leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei instructed the Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite
unit al-Quds Force to increase terror attacks against the West and its allies
in reprisal for their support of Syrian opposition groups, the Telegraph
reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, Iran's national security council
held an emergency meeting to discuss a special report which claims that the
Islamic Republic's regional interests are being eroded by UN sanctions and the
West's continued support of Syrian opposition groups who are trying to oust
President Bashar Assad.
Western intelligence sources claimed that the report,
which was commissioned by Khamenei, states that Iran "cannot remain
passive" in the face of new threats, and that the Western support of
Syrian opposition forces puts at risk Tehran and Damascus' "resistance
alliance" and can also prove detrimental to Iran's foothold in Lebanon.
According to the British paper, the report listed
recommendations, by which Iran "should demonstrate to the West that there
were 'red lines' over what it would accept in Syria, and that a warning should
be sent to 'America, the Zionists, Britain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and
others that they cannot act with impunity in Syria and elsewhere in the
region."
Meanwhile, a senior diplomat privy to Iran's nuclear
program said that the Islamic Republic has entered the final stages of
sanitizing a military base where it allegedly held secret nuclear related
experiments.
American research institution ISIS reported that the mass
clear-up was completed at the beginning of April, after the UN's nuclear agency
requested access to the site.
