Foreign Secretary William Hague made the remark during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the Heart of Asia Conference in Kabul on Thursday.
Hague told his Russian counterpart that his country welcomed in principle a Moscow suggestion of an international conference on Syria to be held in the Russian capital, but he commented that “Iranian attendance at any such meeting was probably unworkable.”
It remained unexplained why the UK government considers Iran’s presence at any such meeting unworkable, but it’s an obvious fact that Britain and her allies have been involved from the start of a rebellion against the Syrian government of president Bashar al-Assad, and they used some dissent in the Middle Eastern Arab country to wage an all-out war against the interests of the nation.
Iran, as the strategic ally of the Syrian nation and government in the region, has endorsed a plan floated by former UN Secretary General and the UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan to resolve misunderstanding between the Damascus government and the opposition parties in the country.
But, Britain, whose main objective was to replace the government of president al-Assad with a puppet regime, is now beating the drums of war by saying that time was running out for Annan’s plan to bring peace to Syria.
Britain’s UN envoy said on Thursday time was running out for international mediator Kofi Annan’s plan to bring peace to Syria and that the UN Security Council needs to take “much tougher action” to enforce the six-point strategy.
This comes as Lebanon’s Al-Manar TV network said in a report earlier this month that the Western and Arab spies are using the northern borders of Lebanon as their base for carrying out covert operations in Syria and facilitating arms smuggling across the border into the Arab country.
Meanwhile, a report by the Lebanese news agency confirmed that two British nationals and a Qatari citizen had visited the Akkar district in northern Lebanon last month, and met with representatives of terrorist gangs to collect information about routes to smuggle arms into Syria.
Moreover, the London-based Daily Star reported earlier this month that Britain’s Special Air Service (SAS) troops and MI6 agents were setting up camps in Syria so that they would be able to help Syria’s armed terror gangs in case a civil war would broke out in the country.
Even as early as February, a report published by Israeli intelligence outfit DebkaFile showed British Special Forces were operating with Syria’s armed terrorists in the Syrian city of Homs directing ammunition deliveries and tactics in the terrorists’ bloody battle against Syrian civilians.
