Iran Says UK Is More 'Criminal ' Tha USA
A senior Iranian military official says the UK is more violent than the US, stressing that the British monarchy is one of the oldest imperialist countries in the world.
"The criminal record of the UK is even longer than [that of] the US whose crimes are difficult to enumerate," Mehr news agency quoted Deputy Head of Iran's Armed Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri as saying.
"The monarchy in Britain is considered one of the oldest imperialist countries in history," the senior commander added.
Jazayeri illustrated his point by using the great number of people stripped of their livelihood, the vast territories occupied and the resources plundered by British imperialists as examples.
He also said popular demands and the manner of protests in the UK are similar to the Middle Eastern and North African countries.
He added that the British public and the people of Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and other countries which witnessed the wave of Islamic Awakening, seek to assert their rights and want justice.
Jazayeri concluded that European nations are drawing on the blueprint of the Middle East uprisings.
