Responding to the threat of Israel Occupation Force (IOF) Chief, Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, that Israel is giving the P5 + Germany until December to force Iran to abandon its nuclear program – after which Israel will strike Iran alone – Iranian president Dr. Ahmadinejad pointed out that the West has retreated in its nuclear dispute with Tehran as it is no longer talking of suspension of Iran’s uranium enrichment activities.
“We have now entered a stage of cooperation. At the moment, one of the key issue is Iran’s participation in projects such as the international nuclear fuel bank, or reactor and plant construction,” Ahmadinejad said in a Wednesday televised interview.
“Israelis and a number of Western countries (France, Germany, Canada, England, and the US) are angry about this. They are trying to prevent us from forming cooperation. They want talks to break down and end in dispute,” he added.
Earlier in an interview with NBC – Ahmadinejad called for global nuclear disarmament: “First the nuclear arsenals in the US and Britain need to be destroyed, dismantled. And then no one would doubt the good will of the US around the world”.
In a surprise move, US State Department has appointed John Limbert as Hillary Clinton’s point man on Islamic – replacing pro-Israel Zionist Dennis Ross, a longtime Muslim-hater and co-founder of pro-Israel think tank, Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Ross has been moved to a more strategic position, as an adviser to Barack Obama administration’s policy on Islamic Iran. John Limbert one those 54 American spies taken as hostages by the student in Tehran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In his interview with ‘Radio Free Europe’ on February 6, 2009 – John admitted that he was wrong about the Islamic Revolution, which I expected would never last this long.
Ray Takeyh, former State Department’s adviser on Islamic Iran, and now a ‘fellow’ with pro-Israel Jewish think tank, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in a recent interview said that Tehran’s “foreign policy stems entirely from domestic politicall considerations which are evolving in unpredictable way…” In other word, Takeyh is not happy that Iranian foreign policy is not dictated by a powerful lobby like AIPAC in the US! Takeyh also cried ‘wolf’ when he targeted Hizb’Allah: “A nuclear agreement with Iran will be very difficult to sustain if Iran-Hizb’Allah relationship remains unaltered. I always felt that the canvass should be broadened and the nuclear issues should be situated in its proper place among the set of (Israeli) concerns. But it has been elevated to the point of impracticality…..”
