Tehran says US has taken Saddam’s place in Iraq TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran said the United States had taken Saddam Hussein’s place as the foe of the Iraqi people, following the circulation of pictures of US troops abusing Iraqi prisoners. "One year after Saddam’s collapse, the Iraqis dare not celebrate his fall, but they are fighting the Americans, which means that the Iraqis believe that the US has taken Saddam’s place," Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said Sunday in his weekly press conference. The images depicted prisoners, some naked, in humiliating, sexually suggestive poses. Some of the pictures showed US military personnel pointing and laughing at prisoners. The US military says the abuse involved up to 20 prisoners and has launched three separate inquiries. Six of its personnel have already been charged with a series of criminal offences. "The US is in Iraq only to get oil and protect its long term interests there," Asefi added. Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for his part said: "The ongoing realities in Iraq indicate that the American slogans in defense of human rights, freedom and democracy are false." Iran has no diplomatic ties with the United States and was strongly opposed to the US-led attack on its neighbour Iraq.
