TEHRAN: Iran's supreme leader on Saturday accused the United States of supporting terrorism , pointing to American drone strikes in Pakistan and Afghanistan that allegedly have killed scores of civilians.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said a country whose military forces are responsible for such deaths can't lecture the world about fighting terror.

Strong anti-US salvos are heard regularly from Iran's leadership . But today's statement by Khamenei also reverberated the depth of rift between Iran and the US on who is a terrorist and who is a freedom fighter.

"The US and European governments that follow it describe Palestinian combatant groups who fight for liberation of their land as terrorists," Khamenei said in a message to an international conference on combating terrorism that opened on Saturday in Tehran.

Reporting from Tehran and Beirut—
A battered Peugeot sedan greeted visitors Saturday to a conference hall in north Tehran.

"Professor Massoud Ali Mohammadi, martyred in front of his house," explained an accompanying poster. It was a reference to the mysterious assassination last year of the Iranian physicist, killed when a bomb exploded near his car in Tehran. Iranian authorities have blamed the West for the killing.





The Peugeot was the symbolic scene-setter for a two-day conference in the Iranian capital on fighting terrorism. According to the Iranian media, officials from more than 60 countries and several heads of state flew in for the talks — among them Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges.

The event was heavy on U.S.-bashing, generally reflecting Tehran's views about Washington's policy in the region.

In a message to the conference, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei lashed out at the U.S. for drone strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The attacks, he said, have "repeatedly" turned "wedding parties into mourning ceremonies." He echoed the official Iranian line that the U.S. and its allies are hypocrites, employing terrorist tactics that kill civilians while condemning others as terrorists.

"The United States, Britain and some Western governments, with a black record in terrorist behavior, have now added to their rhetoric the claim of fighting terrorism," Khamenei was quoted as saying by the semiofficial Fars News Agency.

Later, Khamenei warned visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai that the United States had no intention of leaving Afghanistan. "Real security will not be established as long as American troops are in Afghanistan," state TV quoted him as saying. On Wednesday, President Obama announced that 33,000 U.S. troops would be pulled out of the country by the end of next summer.

At the forum, the official Islamic Republic News Agency said, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani revealed that Iran and Iraq had formed a joint plan with the International Committee of the Red Cross to shut down Iraq's Camp Ashraf, which is home to thousands of opponents of the Iranian regime. Tehran has pressured Baghdad to hand over members of the militant group, despite protests from Iranian dissident groups and others that the camp residents could face reprisals in Iran.

An Iranian opposition organization, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, has urged the Red Cross to disassociate itself from the plan, which it says is "in direct violation of international law."

Sudanese President Bashir made a quick appearance at the podium, slamming Israel and the United States for "supporting terrorism," before jetting off on a trip to China, according to a journalist in his entourage.

Special correspondent Mostaghim reported from Tehran and special correspondent Sandels from Beirut. Times Staff Writer Patrick J. McDonnell in Beirut contributed to this report.

lol@ iranians.. these *******s never call themselves terrorists while they keep sending suicide bombers and other stuff to Afghanistan.. they are dogs.. khamini is a barking dog nothing else..

The Iranian regime is very hypocritical in many respects when criticising the West.
They condemned the UK police's heavy handed tactics when dealing with the University fee protests here lol


But the US does has a record of supporting terrorism whether directly or indircelty in various countries (Nicaragua, Guatemala, Indonesia, East Timor, Chile, Panama, Vietnam, El Salvador, Colombia, Philippines, Haiti, Congo, Greneda, Greece, Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Laos, Thailand, Brazil, Albania, Japan, Occupied Palestine and many many more). It is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide.
The UK was also involved in most of these cases.



So whilst the Iranian regime may sound hypocritical, the American regime is infintely more hypocritical when it uses words such as "war on terror"

I think he is saying the US is directly involved in terrorism. Even Karzai has said that the American spy outlet Blackwater/Xe is behind these attacks.

Iran and Pakistan have nothing to do with these war crimes by foreigners (attack hospitals and marketplaces to kill civilians). There is only one set of foreign hands that involves themselves in this. These foreigners seem to not want to accept that they have LOST.
It is preposterous to think any Muslim does this. Think to yourself. Why would a Muslim do this?

These attacks at hospitals and marketplaces is done by Blackwater/Xe , or their fellow spies.

It is definitely a foreigner, and a NON-MUSLIM. And these attacks smell of non-Muslim foreigners being behind them seeing as no Muslims has said they did it.

In the Peshawar attack which happened a few weeks ago, no Muslims claimed they did it.

^ Yes.
Khamanei is very reasonable and rational.
If he says something
ASSUREDLY,
it has gravity.

If Obama says something, it is
ASSUREDLY
a SLICK LIE

Khamanei is credible ; Obama is hated by many Americans
who believe he is homosexual and secret leftist
and above all, agent of the devil here to destroy America.
Americans rarely think beyond the borders of the continental U.S. states,
but the truth is, he and his
puppetmasters, many Zionists & bankers among them,
are out to destroy the entire world to the extent possible.

Now THAT's TERRORISM !
