Iran calls Wall Street protests 'American Spring'
None
An Iranian military commander said Sunday that the protests spreading from New York's Wall Street to other US cities are the beginning of an "American Spring," likening them to the uprisings that toppled Arab autocrats in the Middle East.
Gen. Masoud Jazayeri of Iran's Revolutionary Guard said the protests against corporate greed and the gap between rich and poor are a revolution in the making that will topple what he called the Western capitalist system. "A revolution and a comprehensive movement against corruption in the US is in the making. The last phase will be the collapse of the Western capitalist system," he said, according to IRNA. (AP)
