| Iran sees foreign hand in wave of ethnic unrest |
| 2006-05-30 |
| A string of top officials have blamed the Islamic republic's foreign "enemies" for a wave of unrest in ethnic minority border areas, with Azeri-dominated northwest Iran now the scene of violent clashes, AFP reported. "Provoking ethnic differences is the last resort by the enemies against the Iranian people and the Islamic republic," Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday. "There is no doubt that this plot will be defeated," he said. "Today the enemies are seeking to break the unity in the country. On one side they want to create a conflict between Arabs and Iranians, and on the other side they resort to Shiite-Sunni differences," said the deputy head of Iran's judiciary, Hojatoleslam Ebrahim Raeesi. |
