Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei warned on Saturday that enemies were focusing on triggering civil wars in the region to undermine the wave of Islamic Awakening.
 
“Today, the enemy is investing in civil wars in the region and pins hope on a Shia-Sunni war to relieve itself of the concern of Islamic Awakening,” his eminence said.

Sayyed Khamenei stressed that a remaining bunch of culprits affiliated to Saddam regime alongside a group of ignorant people were currently indulging in crimes in Iraq.

The Supreme Leader underlined that what was going on now was not a war between the Sunnis and the Shiites but a war between terrorism and anti-terrorism, according to IRNA.

He said this was also a conflict between the lovers of West and those who were seeking independence for nations. “What is happening [in Iraq] is not a Shia-Sunni war. It is a war of terrorism against the opponents of terrorism and a war between pro-Westerners and the advocates of nations’ independence,” Imam Khamenei said.

Ayatollah Khamenei’s remarks were on the anniversary occasion of Haft-e Tir (July 28) when he received families of martyrs who lost their lives this day 33 years ago in a bomb blast by the terrorist Mojahedeen-e Khalq Organization.
