Saturday, 11 July 2020_The United States has “a long history of cooking up fictitious stories and whine to achieve its warmongering objectives,” according to an American political analyst.
“This started at the beginning of the last century, 1890-1899. The United States wanted to go to war to shield the rapidly declining Spanish empire’s possessions in Cuba and in the Philippines and then Guam. So the United States Navy sailed a rather obsolete battleship into Havana Harbor and the battleship blew up. We now know that that had to do with a defective boiler and had nothing to do with the Spaniards, and yet the United States blamed the Spaniards for blowing up the USS Maine,” said Rodney Martin, a former congressional staffer based in Arizona.
“Rallying cry was remember that Maine and the United States went off to war and still occupying the former Spanish colonial territories to this day, with the exception of the Philippines, which gradually returned to the Philippines sovereignty after World War Two,” Martin told Press TV on Saturday.
Iran has dismissed the recent US allegations that American and “partner” forces have seized a vessel taking “Iranian weapons” to Yemen as continuation of Washington’s policy of leveling accusations and hatemongering against Tehran, which this time seeks to prolong a UN arms embargo against the Islamic Republic.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi made the remarks on Thursday, a day after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told a news conference about alleged capture of the vessel by the so-called allied forces on June 28.
“Lying, throwing accusations, and hatemongering are among the major elements of the US’ foreign policy, especially under the current [American] regime,” Mousavi said, adding, “The remarks by the ‘hatemonger’ US secretary of state boil down to the selfsame approach,” he added.
