Russia Watch List (Parte 1)
Di Jan Douglas Bish, Editorialista e Medio Oriente AnalystGiugno 18, 2012
“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. Voi, who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves.” (Isaia 62:6)
Abbiamo iniziato un conto alla rovescia per Armageddon e la Russia è in Watch List, insieme alla Cina, Iran, Siria e il Medio Oriente che comprende il vecchio impero assiro.
Russia is cozying up to China and Iran is looking for support from Russia and China in light of the rising talk over a U.S. backed Israeli attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Iran is seeking a full membership in the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization). Iran has already received an endorsement from the SCO about the use of force against Tehran’s nuclear program. The leaders of SCO members China, Russia and other member nations have signed a joint confirmation that “any attempts to solve the Iranian problem with force are unacceptable and could lead to unpredictable circumstances.”
Tehran announced that failure to draft an agenda for the upcoming nuclear talks was not conducive to their success in Moscow, as if Iran is going to give up their nuclear program and comply with U.N. mandates anyway. Russia is hosting the third round of talks on Iran’s nuclear program June 18-19, so Iran will be on friendly turf for the discussions.
The United States is warning it will tighten their sanctions against Tehran if the Moscow talks fail to make progress on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear agenda.
Russia is opposed to the sanctions against Iran and urges action only based on U.N. resolutions, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also said. “We are against any forcible action bypassing the U.N. Consiglio di Sicurezza, be it Iran, Cuba or any other sovereign U.N. member nation.” Failure to observe U.N. Security Council resolutions is unacceptable, Russia warned.
