Ayat Yazdi advises US to succumb to Iraqi's will

By: Sayyed Mahdi Soroush

TEHRAN, Iran: Iranian ex-judiciary chief Ayatullah Muhammad Yazdi reminded the coalition of the costs which might incurred by their prolonged stay in the holy land of Iraq and urged them to submit to the Iraqi people's will for holding free elections.

He was addressing the worshipers at the weekly Friday prayers in Tehran. The Ayatullah also warned of enemy plots to create division among world Muslims' ranks, including those in Iraq, which has both Shia and Sunni communities.

“The enemy has always been following the policy of 'divide and rule' and is pursuing this policy even now but the enemy should know that Muslims are primarily committed to their faith and Iraqi Muslims will not go under oppression,” he said. 

He said US and Britain do not understand the Iraqi people's message. The Iraqi people say one cannot rule a nation with force and pressure.
