FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Washington has made several veiled threats about military force against the
Middle Eastern state but the timing of Mrs Clinton’s remarks yesterday
coincided with rising tensions in the area.
A few hours before her statement, America deployed an aircraft carrier to the
Gulf, a sign widely seen as the US looking to strengthen forces in the
oil-rich region. The US ship, which was sent four months ahead of schedule,
was said to have been sent to address “security issues”, according
to officials at the Pentagon.
In a further mark of growing pressure, US sailors shot and killed the occupant
of a motor boat near the Strait of Hormuz the same day after it failed to
halt its approach to an American supply vessel, despite warnings by the
crew.
“An embarked security team aboard a US Navy vessel fired upon a small motor
vessel after it disregarded warnings and rapidly approached the US ship,”
Greg Raelson, a media officer for the US Navy, said in an email.
Mrs Clinton’s visit to Israel, her first in two years, marked the end of a
nine-nation tour, holding talks with top officials including Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, Defence Minister Ehud Barak and
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
During talks with Benjamin Netanyahu, who has recently shown frustration at
international efforts to negotiate with Iran, Mrs Clinton had been expected
to explain a wave of fresh sanctions imposed by Washington.
Renewed sanctions were placed on Tehran last week by the United States,
following reports that Iran had been circumventing international sanctions
by swapping oil for goods with Turkey and China.
The latest measures ensure Iranian oil tankers are prevented from docking in
many international ports, with analysts estimating it to lead to as much as
a 60 per cent drop in Iranian crude oil sales.
