tehran, april 16, irna - the leader of the islamic revolution,
ayatollah seyed ali khamenei said here on wednesday that the controversial mykonos trial
has been a u.s. puppet show performed in cooperation with zionist propaganda machine and
intelligence service. in a meeting with the commanders of the armed forces on the eve of
the army day, april 18, the supreme leader said germany lost its credibility in
iran,
adding that the conspiracy served to display one aspect of the nature of the global
arrogance. the leader said the mykonos affair was a new experience for europe because the
u.s. succeeded in bringing first the german government and then the europeans to bay
despite their unwillingness to be placed in such a situation. what the berlin court did
was a mockery of justice which is of no value in the eyes of the islamic republic of
iran,
the leader said, adding that the major part of the issue pertained to the motives and
goals pursued by the power poles in the world especially by the u.s. administration in
cooperation with the spying apparatus of the zionists,’’ based on its wrong
analysis, the u.s. imagined that the islamic republic of iran was standing against
washington’s bullying policies and threats, and was not ready to back down from its
stance on the strength of european support, ayatollah khamenei said. the supreme leader
noted that the americans chose germany as a weak but effective link in europe and then
tried to create a gap between europe and iran. ayatollah khamenei said that the absence of
germany from major international arena such as the middle east betrayed the political
weakness suffered by the bonn government. ‘’the u.s., europe, and the former
soviet union in collaboration with many reactionary governments in the region imposed a
full-scale eight-year long war on iran, but, the iranian nation resisted it and fought
back the battle bravely,’’ the leader said. the commander-in-chief of the armed
forces said the what is surprising is that why they repeat such experiences and why they
have developed such a wrong assumption in their invalid minds. ‘’the iranian
nation has not entered the arena by relying on europe, asia or others so that now with
their departure it feels it has been left alone,’’ the supreme leader
said.
‘’if the u.s. and the zionists manage to separate europe from iran and pit other
enemies tens times as many as europe against iran, this (iranian) nation will not retreat
even one step from its resistance to the bullyings of the u.s. or any other
governments,’’ ayatollah khamenei made it clear.
terming the german government as a victim of the u.s.-zionism
plot, the
supreme leader said ‘’why the german government made such a mistake that the
zionists managed to arrange such a puppet show under its nose and to insult the iranian
nation.’’ ‘’germany left behind a very bitter experience and it should
pay
the price for its mistake. germany has lost something that cannot
regain easily and that is the trust of the iranian nation and government in germany’s
sincerity,’’ ayatollah khamenei pointed out. the supreme leader said that the
u.s. or any other power in the world that may cherish hostile attitude towards iran could
not do a damn thing. terming the reaction of certain european countries to the mykonos
affair as ‘’very bad’’, ayatollah khamenei stated ‘’the
foreign ministry has been instructed to carefully register the behavior of those
government in this meaningless show so that they can be recorded in the history of the
iranian people.’’
