Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
said today blamed the United States and Israel for Syria civil war. Khamenei
made the comments during his message to Muslims performing the annual hajj
pilgrimage to Mecca.
“Young Muslims killing each other (in Syria)
is a crime initiated by the United States and the Zionist regime (Israel),”
Khamanei said. Adding that the U.S. is punishing Syria for resisting Israeli
occupation of Palestinian land and supporting Hamas and Hezbollah.
Note: The Iranian politicians are in the habit of blaming foreign powers for all developments in the region that they do not agree with, and take credit for all developments they like. The people of the countries affected are thought to be just bystanders or puppets. The Ayatollah’s comments on Syria, ignoring the realities of a movement against decades of Assad dictatorship, could be so understood. His stand begs the question of why so many Syrians should follow Israel and the U.S. to sacrifice their lives to topple the regime. And it does not differentiate between Syrian people’s desire for democracy and terrorist groups, like Al Qaida, trying to take advantage of the situation in the country. Above all it does not recognize the effects of four decades of dictatorship in Syria.

Did he actually use the word Syria, or did you edit his statement to mean what you wanted it to mean?
The paradox result of his anti-western worldview is that the very nature of this worldview is 'captured' by the west; your enemy is the one who is defining your identity; Khamanei can have no positive vision of his own; he can not even be indifferent to the West; his view is run - in this paradox sense - by the West ...

That is the news of the day
not the usual bla-bla of Khamenie
All of these chain-events serve the purpose of creating the path for an eventual cataclysm - military invasion & occupation of Iran by the U.S. and its allies in 2018-2020.
whatever's gonna happen will happen sooner than 2018. either the regime will open up to some deal and demonstrate that it's not going to build nuclear weapons within a year, or it will not.

It's a given that something will take place before 2018, and in the near future it will be nothing else but a serie of air strikes against Iran's nuclear installations, to forestall the development of a nuclear weapon, which will deny them an important leverage tool. I wager that the U.S. forces will take out the Iranian Air Force and Navy in the the initial Air and Naval Campaign. Once the initial air strike has been executed the U.S./Allies will move to the next phase which will be the establishment of a No-Fly Zone (Jet patrols and further degradation of defense assets), which will be upheld to basically deny the Iranian regime the ability to repair, rebuild or even try to create new installations in new locations, though that kind of operation cannot completly eradicate the Iranian effort to obtain a nuclear weapon because there is a possibility that the Iranian regime might be presented with other paths to obtain a nuclear weapon, in which case they may opt to basically purchase a nuclear weapon from other sources, and that is the ultimate fear, because it's very diificult for the U.S. to intercept and prevent such a thing from happening. The Iranian regime will then most likely try to retaliate in the way of terrorist attacks against Western interests. A military air campagain will merely serve as a temporary solution until sanctions and embargoes have been given adequate time to grind down the Iranian economy and regime apparatuses including its armed forces and the resistance or the urge if you will of the Iranian people to resist a military intervention to forcefully topple the regime. The only way to make absolutely sure that an Iranian government hostile to the U.S. and opposed to the interests of the U.S. cannot attain a Nuclear Weapons capability is by forcibly go in on the ground. It's the only viable option and definitive solution, certainly when it comes to a vast, populous, and resourceful country such as Iran.
