FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, said a Syria resolution was “long
overdue”. Officials said Mr Cameron was keen to draw clear distinctions
between those countries opposed to brutality and those that were complicit.
However Russia made clear it had drawn a line against the Western barrage of
criticism of Iran as Sergei Lavrov, the foreign minister, declared he was
doing all he could to resist military action against Iran to prevent the
spread of nuclear weapons.
Mr Lavrov said the Western assertions that all options are on the table
underpinned accusations against Iran and were responsible for sectarian
clashed in countries like Syria. This, he said, was pushing the region
closer to confrontation.
“As for the chances of this catastrophe happening, you would have to ask
those constantly mentioning it as an option that remains on the table,”
Mr Lavrov said. “I have no doubt in the fact that it will only add fuel
to the fire of the still-simmering Sunni-Shia conflict. And I do not know
where the subsequent chain reaction will end.”
But Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia’s former intelligence chief, warned
it was Iran’s belligerent stance that was putting peace in peril.
“The mounting escalation and persistent tensions might end up in an
adventure with unpredictable consequences or in an unwanted military
confrontation,” he said.
Saudi Arabia’s promises to make up any supply gaps caused by the European and
American campaign against Iranian oil exports has seen Iran threaten to
block the Straits of Hormuz.
However Ehud Barak, Israel’s defence minister, appeared to withdraw one
pressing threat against Iran by stating that a military strike was “very
far away”.
Israeli officials have said they believe that tough economic measures against
Iranian could force the regime to abandon its pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
British and European officials dismissed Iranian claims that it was in talks
to resume negotiations with the permanent five Security Council members and
Germany on its nuclear work.
“Iran is chasing headlines and pretending that it is ready to engage,”
said a Western diplomat. “If it really is ready to sit down without
preconditions the (six powers) would do so. Sadly, at the moment, it seems
more interested in propaganda.”
