Tehran, Iran, Sep. 09 – A top military commander in Iran accused the United States and Israel on Friday of being behind terrorist attacks in Iraq, which he said were being carried out to justify the continuing military occupation of the oil-rich Arab country.

Brigadier General Mohammad-Baqer Zolqadr, the deputy commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), told a gathering of senior officials, “The Americans blame weak and feeble groups in Iraq for insecurity in this country. We do not believe this and we have information that the insecurity has its roots in the activities of American and Israeli spies”.

“Insecurity in Iraq is a deeply-rooted phenomenon. The root of insecurity in Iraq lies in the occupation of this country by foreigners”, Zolqadr said.

“If Iraq is to become secure, there will be no room for the occupiers”, the deputy IRGC chief said.

Zolqadr, who is a protégé of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and has a key role in the country’s security apparatus, said the Americans were pursuing “important and strategic goals in their continuing occupation of Iraq”.

He said the U.S. wanted to remain in Iraq to “plunder the country’s wealth, bring the Middle East under its control, and create security for the Zionist state, which is on the verge of annihilation”.

Zolqadr said U.S. forces were building a dozen military bases in Iraq and “for this reason they are constantly creating insecurity”.
