June 2, 2019 – The London based Elaph website on Saturday cited Mohammad Mohaddesin, Chair of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) Foreign Affairs Committee, posting a series of tweets weighing in on the Arab emergency summits in the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
“The decisions made in this conference emphasized the reality that the regime of Iran is the main source of war and instability in the region. From endangering shipping operations to war in Yemen and Syria, launching missiles and creating instability in regional countries,” Mr. Mohaddesin said in his tweets.
“Iraq’s objection to the condemnation of Iranian regime’s activities by the Arab summit in Mecca clearly shows that Iraq continues to be taken as hostage by the regime of Iran and is being used as Tehran’s platform for the export of terrorism and fundamentalism in the region,” Mohaddesin added.
Corroborating on the invasion of Iraq by the Iranian regime following the 2003 war in the Middle East, Mohaddesin said: “Following the 2003 war and the toppling of the former government of Iraq, the gates of Iraq were opened to the regime in Iran. This allowed Tehran to occupy that country without paying a price for it, and transforming it into a platform for the Iranian mullahs’ expansionist policies.”
Mohaddesin also reiterated that for as long as the Iranian regime has influence in Iraq and can escape the price of its belligerence, episodes such as blowing up ships in Fujairah and attacking oil pipelines in Saudi Arabia will continue.
The NCRI Foreign Affairs Committee Chair criticized the appeasement policy as one factor that has emboldened the regime in Iran for continuing its atrocities.
“Those appeasers have been the advocates of this senseless theory that Sunni fundamentalism is more dangerous than a Shiite version. And that we can align ourselves with the second to fight the first. We have said all along that there is no distinguishable line between the two. If the heart of fundamentalism in Tehran is silenced, the Lebanese Hezbollah, as an example of Shiite fundamentalism, and Daesh (ISIS) as the Sunni version, will cease to exist,” Mohaddesin reiterated.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) is the main force behind the mullahs’ support of terrorism across the globe.
The U.S State Department recently designated the IRGC as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” (FTO).
