بازدید فرمانده كل قوا از نیروی دریایی ارتش در بندرعباس
http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=16755
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی صبح شنبه، اول مردادماه 1390، وارد بندرعباس شدند و از منطقه یكم و كارخانجات نیروی دریایی ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران بازدید كردند.
فرمانده كل قوا در ابتدای ورود به قرارگاه مقدم نیروی دریائی ارتش - ناوگان جنوب، در محل یادمان شهدا حاضر شدند و با قرائت فاتحه، یاد و خاطره رشادت شهدای دفاع مقدس را گرامی داشتند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای سپس از یگانهای مختلف نیروهای مسلحِ حاضر در میدان سان دیدند.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای در سخنانی در جمع فرماندهان و نیروهای قرارگاه مقدم نیروی دریایی ارتش و یگانهای نمونه نیروهای مسلح در منطقه، دریا را فرصتی بزرگ و راهبردی برای كشورها و ملتها دانستند و تأكید كردند: منافع و امكانات این دریاها متعلق به ملتها است و نیروهای دریایی ارتش و سپاه مظهر اقتدار ملت ایران در دفاع از منافع كشور در خلیج فارس و دریای عمان هستند.
ایشان افزودند: حكومتهای طاغوتی در سالهای متمادی سیطره بر ایران مانع پیشرفت دریانوردی و حضور دریایی ایران در پهنه آبهای منطقهای و بینالمللی بودند اما امروز شما باید با تلاش مضاعف عقبافتادگی طولانی مدت گذشته را جبران كنید.
حضرت آیتالله خامنهای با اشاره به سابقه حضور قدرتهای زورگو در منطقه بسیار حساس خلیج فارس و دریای عمان خاطرنشان كردند: امروز شرایط با گذشته بسیار متفاوت است و ساحل ممتد و طولانی این منطقه در اختیار دولتی مستقل و ملتی سرافراز و بیدار است كه قدرت و اراده ملی خود را میشناسد و با اتكاء به خداوند، اراده خود را بر هر قدرت سیاسی و نظامی تحمیل و او را مجبور به عقبنشینی خواهد كرد.
فرمانده كل قوا در همین زمینه افزودند: امروز خلیج فارس و دریای عمان به بركت حضور مقتدرانه ایران اسلامی، یك منطقه آزاد و مستقل است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی حضور ناوهای آمریكایی و كشورهای اروپایی در منطقه را مضّر و نامطلوب ارزیابی و تأكید كردند: دورانی كه قدرتهای مستكبر با حضور نظامی برای ملتها تعیین سرنوشت میكردند گذشته است و اگر حتی برخی دولتهای منطقه همچنان تمایل به تبعیت از دستورات قدرتهای مستكبر را داشته باشند ولی ملتهای منطقه هوشیار و بیدار شدهاند و حضور نظامی بیگانگان، در منطقه را موجب ناامنی میدانند.

Hundreds of thousands dead, many more displaced and a country brought to the brink by the mishmash policies of the west.

With hundreds of British military personnel killed and many more injured, billions spent on the war-effort, the British public have rightly turned even more against this conflict.

The United States arms sales to the Middle Eastern countries will eventually boomerang on the US, a political analyst tells Press TV.
His comment comes as the US has recently finalized a 30-billion-dollar deal with Saudi Arabia as part of a 60-billion-dollar contract, first unveiled in October 2010.
The US has also signed a deal to sell about USD 3.5 billion worth of arms to the United Arab Emirates.
“The sales of such high technology to unstable regimes in the Middle East region such as Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates, is something that is going to backfire on the United States,” said Nader Mokhtari political commentator and journalist.
“You have to take into account that these countries are not run via political operatives like other countries,” the Tehran-based analyst said, adding that they are run 'like family-run businesses.'
The US has demonstrated support for popular uprisings in the Middle East while at the same time propping up their authoritarian regimes by selling them billions of dollars worth of various types of weaponry.
In its Yearbook 2010, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) stated that the US accounts for 43 percent of world military spending and 30 percent of global arms exports, making it the world's leader in both categories.
US arms sales to the Persian Gulf countries has reached USD 123 billion, with a USD 67.8 billion package for Saudi Arabia, USD 35.6 billion for the United Arab Emirates, USD 12.3 billion for Oman and USD 7.1 billion for Kuwait.

In Syria, the fragile cease-fire brokered by the UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan was broken again: A roadside bomb struck a Syrian military truck, wounding six soldiers. But what was different was that the explosion happened just seconds after a convoy carrying the head of the U.N. observer mission passed by, which has put into speculation that perhaps the UN convoy was the target. If so, this comes just one day after US UN ambassador Susan Rice said the Kofi Annan ceasefire plan was ineffective on all fronts: Syria, its elections, its ceasefire: Subject of this edition of the Press TV News Analysis

[22 June 2012] Egypt What is happening And what should happen Comment - English
Thousands of angry Egyptians have camped out in the historic square since Wednesday, calling on the military council to quit power immediately as the electoral authorities delayed the announcement of the final results of the presidential run-off on Thursday as scheduled. Egypt's election committee said on Wednesday they want to look into all complaints from the two candidates before making an announcement. The protesters say the move could be a sign that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) is trying to declare former premier Ahmed Shafiq the winner.
Egyptians cast their ballots in a two-day presidential runoff election on June 16 and 17, which pitted the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, Mohammed Morsi, against Shafiq. On June 18, a member of the Egyptian Electoral Committee confirmed that Morsi is in the lead in the country's run-off presidential election. Early on the day, the Brotherhood had declared Morsi's victory over Shafiq in the voting. Officials from the group had said that Morsi has won 52.5 percent of the counted ballots.
