Military Dictatorship - SheibaniMehrdad Sheibani M.shibani@roozonline.com 16 Sep 2006 خلاصه: The last month of the Persian summer, which is half way through, clarified the political situation in Iran. Two hardline religious governments face each other. Their battlefield is the Middle East for which forces are aligning themselves from outside the region. The conditions on the ground are complicated conditions, the situation is complex and there are multitudes of events, some of which contradict others, while some others compliment. They all reflect the strategic importance of a war whose consequences will have a long term impact on our contemporary world. On one hand we have the Islamic Republic of Iran which is not pursuing this in defense of its national interests, but to advance its ideological reach which is called the ‘Mesbahie’ movement (Mesbah Yazdi) in Iran, while George Bush calls it the ideology of al-Qaeda. This week the Islamic regime announced its view of the world through the words of the commander of the Revolutionary Guards - Passdaran the principal helmsman of Iran's power - who said this to a group of military commanders : "The leader of the honored revolution(Ayatollah Khamenei) is the awakening of the Islamic world, the Muslim nation and awakening movements in the Third World. " The frequency of this view is no other than President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who showed his presence in all domestic and international events. |
