Meanwhile, terrorist elements, who had previously failed in their attempts to foment crises among the minority and majority of Iraq, have entered Iran through its eastern border in Sistan–Baluchistan Province and are currently targeting Iran’s national security, using obscure names for their organizations denoting ethnic division.

Special Forces from the US and Britain recently trained in the Pakistani port city of Karachi in areas that resemble Iranian cities, UPI reported quoting sources in the Pakistani intelligence.
During the exercise, the US and British troops showed particular interest in areas inhabited by Baluch tribesmen and Iranian refugees, where several key Al Qaeda terrorists are also believed to have taken refuge after escaping from Afghanistan following the US military operation against the Taliban in October 2001.
Pakistani police say that it was the same area where kidnappers of a Wall Street Journal reporter, Daniel Pearl, had temporarily hidden him before killing him.
Culturally, this area is considered the closest in Pakistan to parts of eastern Iran and is also used by Iranian tribal smugglers who have ethnic and lingual affinities with the Baluch tribesmen living here.
Pakistani intelligence sources said that during the exercises, the troops also familiarized themselves with other Karachi neighbourhoods, roads and exit points, railway and bus stations and the airport.
Witnesses said some streets in Karachi, lined with shops on both sides with people living in the flats above, were made to resemble similar congested areas of major Iranian cities.

U.S. and terrorists form unholy alliance against Iran
By Hassan Hanizadeh
Over the past few days, terrorist operations in Iran have claimed the lives of ten innocent civilians and injured many more.
The terrorist acts, coming after a decade of peace in the Islamic Republic, have captured the attention of foreign political analysts.
Although the bombings in Ahvaz, Tehran, Karaj, and Zahedan were totally different as far as the methods used to create the explosives, they all occurred at a very important and sensitive time.
The terrorist acts came as Iranians were enthusiastically following the election campaigns of presidential candidates.
This year, candidates have created a pleasant atmosphere of real democracy in the country through their campaigns, fostering enthusiasm among the people.
This completely democratic atmosphere is unrivaled in the region and most of the Third World. The presence of eight candidates, each with different ideas and representing different groups in society, is a promising sign that the freest election yet will be held in Iran.
Naturally, this is not very pleasant for some regional countries and the United States, and has prompted efforts to reduce public participation in the poll.
A low turnout would put into question the legitimacy of the Islamic system and sully Iran’s reputation in the international arena, which is exactly what the U.S. and some regional states want, since they fear Iran’s religious democracy.
This has led the U.S. to order some of its mercenaries and agents from Iraq and southern Iran to create tension and provoke insecurity in sensitive Khuzestan Province.
Khuzestan was purposefully chosen as a target, first of all to terrify and alarm the people and decrease voter turnout and secondly to provoke ethnic strife in the important oil-rich region, which borders Shia majority regions of Iraq.
Meanwhile, terrorist elements, who had previously failed in their attempts to foment crises among the minority and majority of Iraq, have entered Iran through its eastern border in Sistan–Baluchistan Province and are currently targeting Iran’s national security, using obscure names for their organizations denoting ethnic division.
In fact, the U.S. and non-Iranian terrorist groups are attempting to spread ethnic and sectarian strife from Iraq to Iran by provoking insecurity in Iran through an unholy alliance. Will the U.S. eventually realize its evil goals in Iran?
Definitely not, because, despite its ethnic diversity, Iran’s various ethnic groups enjoy equal rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Therefore, they have no reason to cast their eyes upon any source of hope beyond the borders.
Its provision of equal rights to people of all religious and ethnic groups is one of the most progressive aspects of the Iranian Constitution, which has united the entire nation in a strong bond that is unbreakable, despite the conspiracies of foreign powers.
A clear example of Iran’s national solidarity was observed during the eight-year imposed war with Iraq, during which Kurds, Turks, Arabs, Shias, and Sunnis fought shoulder to shoulder against Saddam Hussein’s Baathist troops.
Iran has always faced foreign invasions over the course of history, and each time the Iranian nation has resisted these attacks with strong resolve, bringing the enemies to their knees.
Thus, the tactical alliance the United States and certain terrorist groups forged to destabilize Iran will face defeat, since the Iranian nation is determined to astonish the world yet again through active participation in the June 17 presidential election.
