Iran blames Britain for disturbances in oil region

Tehran, Iran, Mar. 31 – The Islamic Republic’s paramilitary police chief charged on Friday that Britain was fomenting unrest in south-western Iran’s oil-rich province of Khuzestan and announced that his force would be dispatching large numbers of units to the province to prevent further disturbances.

“We see indications of provocations aimed at creating unrest in this region”, Brigadier General Ismaeil Ahmadi-Moqaddam told the government-run news agency Fars.

Ahmadi-Moqaddam said that the roots of disturbances in the province could be traced back to the “occupiers over Iran’s western border”, a reference to Britain and the United States.

He said that his force would increase its agents, budget, and resources in the province over the next 12 months.
