Tehran, YJC. Islamic Coalition member says that the US intends by accepting the Russian plan to disturb the Syria-Israel balance.
Deputy
Chairman of the Islamic Coalition Party in International Affairs said "We had
the experience of American actions in attacking Iraq. There is the possibility
that by accepting the Russian initiative, the US follows two political goals. The
first is that attacking Syria under prevalent circumstances, that is, vast
public opposition as well as EU members, the US Congress, and the Security
Council would have been a rash job, from which the US needed a way to escape. The
US is thinking that by accepting the Russian initiative, it can both manipulate
the UN report and prepare the ground to condemn Syria in the public mind.”
Hamidreza
Taraqi added "The second point is that by doing so, the US will be able to
accomplish the chemical disarmament of Syria and change the power equilibrium
in favor of Israel, which can be a kind of political game and needs much
attention.”
"Of
course as the Syrian Foreign Minister said the reason to accept the Russian initiative
is that Syria has found access to military facilities, which has reinforced it
over the terrorists. By doing so, the US is likely to change the power balance
against Syria,” he asserted.
Taraqi
also expressed worries that there is the possibility for the US to manipulate
the UN report, calling for special attention accordingly.
He also
added that if the attack is cancelled, Bashar Assad would be able to take the
opportunity and perform a strong action against the terrorists.
