The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believes that Western intervention are driven by self-interests and not on humanitarian needs.
“I do not know of any power among the
major Western powers that has intervened in a country for the sake of
humanity; whatever they do is for self interest,” President Ahmadinejad
said Thursday evening in an address to participants of the Tehran
International Consultative Summit on Syria.
Noting that ‘the colonialist powers’
nowadays attempt to impose their will on nations under the pretext of
making reforms, the president argued that such a trend will eventually
lead to war and added that reforms can never be implemented by inciting
conflicts and hostilities.
The Iranian president later referred to the invasion of Afghanistan by US-led NATO forces and
said, “The first documents they carried away [from the country] were
maps of Afghan mines... They acted similarly in Iraq and although they
collaborated with [former Iraqi dictator] Saddam [Hussein] in all of his
crimes, they staged a war against him to dominate and rule over Iraq.”
“Of course, the Iraqi government and nation did not accept this, but the [invasion] process inflicted huge damages on Iraq that would require 20 years to overcome,” he added.
