FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“Hillary Clinton asked her Russian colleague to pass that thought on to the
Iranian authorities, with whom Washington does not maintain its own
relations,” the source said.
“The Israelis are, in essence, blackmailing Obama. They are putting him in a
difficult position: either he supports war or he himself will lose support.”
The US State Department did not respond to the report.
Iran says it only wants to produce nuclear power but the International Atomic
Energy Agency suspects it is attempting to develop nuclear weapons.
Mrs Clinton and Mr Lavrov are said to have discussed Iran when the two met in
New York on the sidelines of a UN Security Council session on the Middle
East on Monday.
Russia has longstanding ties with Iran and helped it build the Bushehr nuclear
power plant. Moscow itself would be very unlikely to endorse military
strikes against the regime, and Sergei Ryabkov, a deputy foreign minister,
told Kommersant that such threats were “unprofessional”. “There is never a
last chance,” he said.
However, the Kremlin’s leverage means it could impress the seriousness of
Washington’s intentions on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran.
Nuclear talks – involving Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany, the United
States and Iran – are to be held in Turkey next month.
The Iranian regime meanwhile escalated its campaign against the BBC’s
Persian-language news channel, jamming two of its four satellite feeds,
launching a cyber attack and deluging its London telephones with calls – all
on the same day.
Mark Thompson, director general of the BBC, who disclosed the incident
yesterday, stopped short of blaming Iran’s government, but noted the
regime’s previous attempts to block BBC Persian, adding that the
“coincidence of these different attacks” was “self-evidently suspicious”.
BBC Persian, which was founded three years ago, has doubled its audience
inside Iran from 3.1 million viewers in 2009 to 6 million last month.
Trust in the state media is generally low and a growing number of Iranians
rely on foreign sources of news, with the BBC being seen as particularly
credible and impartial.
The Iranian regime will not allow BBC Persian to operate inside the country
and the channel’s headquarters are in London.
