FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Addressing a security conference in Bahrain on Saturday, the Pentagon chief added that the recent interim nuclear deal between Iran and six major world powers was a risk worth taking.
He, however, emphasized that Western diplomacy should not be “misinterpreted.”
“We know diplomacy cannot operate in a vacuum,” Hagel said.
“Our success will continue to hinge on America’s military power, and the credibility of our assurances to our allies and partners in the Middle East,” he added.
Hagel reassured Washington’s Persian Gulf allies, saying that the Pentagon “will not make any adjustments to its forces in the region — or to its military planning — as a result of the interim agreement with Iran.”
Hagel’s remarks came as experts voice opposition to the presence of foreign powers in the region and emphasize that regional security must be established through cooperation among countries in the region.
The US defense secretary made the threats against the Islamic Republic while Iran has never waged a war against any country.
Hagel added that the US military was committed to maintaining its 35,000-strong force and an armada of ships and warplanes in the Persian Gulf region despite the Geneva deal.
Hagel arrived in Bahrain Thursday on a mission to reassure US allies in the Persian Gulf region that Washington’s robust military commitment will remain unchanged in the wake of a diplomatic agreement with Iran.
On November 24, Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – Russia, China, France, Britain and the US — plus Germany clinched an interim deal over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program in the Swiss city of Geneva.
The six-month accord will lay the groundwork for a comprehensive resolution of the West’s decade-old nuclear dispute with Tehran.
However, the US allies in the Middle East, including Israel, Saudi Arabia and some Persian Gulf monarchies, fear the Geneva deal could strengthen Iran’s position as the dominant nation in the region.
