Tehran's substitute Friday prayers leader Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani on Friday held the US, especially CIA, and Zionists responsible for recent cold blood killings southeast of Iran, saying enemy has targeted the country's border security, economy, universities and science. "Our enemies which are the US and Zionists -- and of course Zionists give lessons to Americans too -- have targeted security on borders, economy, universities and science in Iran," said Ayatollah Kashani in his second sermon to multitudes of worshippers at this week's Friday prayers congregation at Tehran University campus.
"The whole thing is planned in the disgraceful organisation, the CIA, and based on the difference between Shiites and Sunnis. They want to pit Shiites and Sunnis against each other as they did in Iraq," said the major cleric, according to IRNA.
Ayatollah Kashani was referring to a series of deadly attacks on Bam-Kerman road southeast of Iran last week, which claimed lives of 12 Iranian civilians.
"In Iraq too -- despite all the country's anxieties, troubles and occupation-- they (the US and Israel) received a blow and failed to meet their goals," he added.
