by Iran Daily
Oct. 26--Interior Minister of Iran Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi said here Wednesday that US has set up training centers in Afghanistan to train terrorists and has dispatched them to other countries including Iran.
“There are enough documents in this regard“ he told a press conference on the sidelines of the fourth meeting of interior ministers of Iraq’s neighboring countries, IRNA reported.
The meeting was attended by ministers from Iran, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.
As in previous meetings to review Iraqi security, interior ministers from Egypt and Bahrain were also in attendance.
The Iranian minister further said that the Bush regime has also created a “terrorist-training school“ in Iraq.
“Whoever fans the flames of insurgence, will be burned in the same flame,“ he warned.
Referring to the “destructive role“ of the US forces occupying Afghanistan, Pour-Mohammadi said illegal drug production which was about 1,000 tons a year before the US-led coalition forces arrived in Afghanistan, has now increased by 800 percent reaching 8,000 tons.
He warned against any military actions attack against Iran by the US or its allies and said if attacked Tehran’s response would be crushing.
“Any country or power which invades Iran will face a crushing response.
We will defend our security and country in the strongest way if attacked.“
Asked if the US is likely to carry out military action against Iran, Pour-Mohammadi said, “If you ask US authorities, they will tell you that there is a remote possibility for such a move. (But) both the US domestic and international climate would not allow Washington“ to embark on such dangerous action.
“The US is aware that it may be easy to start such an action against Iran, but ending it would certainly not be in the hands of the Americans.“
He noted that regional states had openly voiced their opposition to any hostile action against Iran.
Officials of regional countries including Kuwait have decisively announced that they would not assist any hostile move toward Iran, the reporters were told.
“We are sure that regional states, by no means, would help Iran’s enemies.“
