Iranian military commander calls “Occupy” protests “American Spring”
Gen. Masoud Jazayeri of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, who is often involved in anti-U.S. propaganda efforts, said the protests against corporate greed and the gap between rich and poor represent the stirrings of a revolution that will topple the Western economic structure. President Obama’s election promises of change have reached a dead end, he argued.
“The failure of the U.S. president to resolve the Wall Street crisis will turn this economic movement into a political and social movement protesting the very structure of the U.S. government,” the official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Jazayeri as saying Sunday.
“A revolution and a comprehensive movement against corruption in the U.S. is in the making,” the general said to IRNA. “The last phase will be the collapse of the Western capitalist system.” (via: latimes)
