Iran's Defense and Logistic Affairs Minister said Friday that the year 2006 must be named the year for US declining power and definite defeat of Americans' warmonger polices in the Middle East.
Brigadier General Mostafa Najjar made the comment at a commemoration service held for Kermanshah Province martyrs, also attended by visiting President Ahmadinejad and his cabinet members.
According to IRNS, the minister stated "Accepting the resignation of the former US Secretary of Defense and explicit confessions of (US President George W.) Bush to US policies defeat in Iraq, too, are to be interpreted in line with US' declining power, and the need for thorough revisions in US military strategies in Iraq and the entire region."
Najjar added, "The United State must as soon as possible end its hazardous military presence in the Middle East region."
