Washington Is Intent on Destroying Iran<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

On February 18 the leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu,\u00a0declared<\/a>\u00a0that Iran \u201cis trying to establish this continuous empire surrounding the Middle East from the south in Yemen but also trying to create a land bridge from Iran to Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. This is a very dangerous development for our region.\u201d Netanyahu\u2019s presentation was dismissed by the Iranian foreign minister as \u201ca cartoonish circus,\u201d but it was nonetheless a reflection of the policy of the United States, which is Israel\u2019s mentor and\u00a0unconditional ally<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last November Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei\u00a0suggested to<\/a>\u00a0President Vladimir Putin that Tehran and Moscow should cooperate more fully to try to dissuade the US from further disruptive dabbling throughout the Middle East. His opinion was that \u201cOur cooperation can isolate America. The failure of US-backed terrorists in Syria cannot be denied but Americans continue their plots,\u201d which is certainly the case, because although the so-called \u201cmoderate rebels<\/a>\u201d who were recruited to overthrow President Assad, with massive amounts of assistance from the Pentagon and the CIA, collapsed in\u00a0ignominious failure<\/a>, the US fandangos continue. Washington is not going to give up, and the Trump administration seems to relish being isolated by almost everyone.<\/p>\n

During his time in the White House, President Obama tried to get US-Iran relations on an even keel, and managed to temporarily overcome the Washington warmongers to some extent and push forward the tension-reducing, trade-improving,\u00a0Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action<\/a>\u00a0(JCPOA) concerning Iran\u2019s nuclear programme, which the\u00a0BBC described<\/a>\u00a0as \u201cthe signature foreign policy achievement of Barack Obama’s presidency.\u201d It was settled two years ago by China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK and the US in a most welcome example of international solidarity and downright common sense, and removed sanctions on Iran in exchange for Teheran\u2019s agreement to limit its nuclear research and development.<\/p>\n
