US "planned to attack Iran in 2003" : Mohsen Rezai

Former Revolutionary Guard chief Mohsen Rezaei.
TEHRAN, May 22 (AFP) - A former head of elite Revolutionary Guards said the
United States had planned to attack Iran next year after Afghanistan and Iraq, but
had to change its plans due to "Palestinian resistance", the conservative Qods daily
reported Wednesday.
Mohsen Rezai, who is also secretary general of the Expediency Council arbitration
body chaired by former president Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani, said "the United States
intended to initiate a war with Iran in 2003 after attacking Afghanistan in 2001 and
disposing of the Iraqi regime in 2002".
"But the Palestinian resistance in the (Israeli) occupied lands has destroyed their
plans," he was quoted as saying.
In January, US President George W. Bush branded Iran part of an "axis of evil" and
named it as a potential target in the US "war on terror". Tehran and Washington cut
diplomatic ties following the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran.
Iran was maintained on the list of alleged sponsors of terrorism in the latest annual
State Department report published Tuesday.
