Iranian ambassador confirms: Russian initiative Iranian and Obama has a chance to end the rivalry with Tehran



09/13/2013 15:48



Range Press / Beirut

U.S. publish a site that specializes in security studies, is the site of "Project Sindikat", today, the study of short-signing former Iranian Ambassador Seyed Hossein Mousavi, a spokesman for the Iranian delegation to the six-party negotiations on the Iranian nuclear file, he was semi-official Iranian position of the Russian initiative related Butti file chemical weapons in Syria.

He said the Iranian ambassador in his study that the approval of the Syrian demand Russian were not possible without the consent of Iran, and added that the plan Russian-Iranian not Russian only, has allowed Barack Obama to escape political impasse difficult and problematic in foreign policy, but it has not been decided yet.

The ambassador went on to say that there are several reasons to motivate Obama to strike a negotiated solution replacement:

The first reason: There is evidence that the Syrian opposition gathered a quantity of chemical weapons, in December of 2012, Iran informed the United States officially chemical weapons, including sarin gas, being transported into Syria, and the United States refused to cooperate with Iran in Search this issue.

The second reason: The U.S. military strikes against Syria is likely to pay the entire region and possibly the United States to slip into a wider war. After the bitter experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past decade, the United States will not tolerate another quagmire in Syria this time.

The third reason: With the intensification of the conflict Sunni-Shiite in the region, the mere possibility of the flow of tens of billions of petrodollars to support extremist terrorists was the cause of instability in the region already, and strikes the U.S. military against Syria that will feed extremism and lead to the commission of rebel atrocities and large-scale against the Syrians of different faiths and sects. There is no doubt that the fate of the Jewish and Christian communities in Syria is now threatened by a serious degree.

The fourth reason: The America's decision to support extremists in Syria contrasts with the "war against terrorism" and will lead to the erosion of international support for this war, and, moreover, the possibility of Iranian cooperation to root out extremists belonging to al-Qaeda, which is cooperation by Iran in Afghanistan and Iraq , will become unlikely after any intervention.

Fifth reason: it is wrong to assume that in the absence of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad means the loss of Iran's influence in the Islamic world as well as the link between them and the Hezbollah in Lebanon, it has become the American position Regional weak, and became Iran's position stronger, in the wake of the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, led by the United States; might bring back U.S. intervention in Syria produce the same pattern.

Sixth reason: The American attack on Syria would make the United States isolated internationally and eliminates any hope of reaching a diplomatic solution, and there is no appetite on the local and international levels for a military adventure other U.S. The Organization NATO, and the Group of Twenty, and the Europeans, Russia , China, and about 60% of Americans oppose a U.S. military strike unilaterally.

Seventh reason: you will be civilian casualties as a result of a military strike is high, and if the main justification for the strike humanly end the senseless slaughter of civilians, the Syrians, the harmful effects of American military intervention will be greater than any benefit you may return it.

Why VIII: The U.S. involvement in Syria would infuse new life into efforts to impose pressure to fight a wider war between the United States and Iran, and will target groups affiliated with al Qaeda regional interests of the U.S. in the hope that lies the blame on Iran and its proxies militants, a What would provide a pretext for U.S. military confrontation.

Why IX: The strike American military to a third country-majority Muslim would destroy the credibility of the efforts made by Obama to repair America's image in the Muslim world, but it will prove in the most likely being a blessing strategy for "axis of resistance" Iran and Hezbollah.

Tenth reason: that any military strike unilaterally against Syria that would escalate tensions between the United States and Russia. This in turn would strengthen the alliance between Russia and Iran.

Eleventh reason: Issued Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei permission to manage the new President Hassan Rohani, to enter into direct talks with the United States. Will not come a better chance than this to end decades of hostility between the two countries, under these circumstances فيكاد be certain that the U.S. attack on Syria will dispel any hope of rapprochement between Iran and the United States for years to come.

Finally, the man with the inauguration of moderate spiritual head now, the U.S. military strike could undermine a golden opportunity for both the U.S. and Iran to reach a solution saves water for all their faces on the Iranian nuclear program.

Both Iran and the United States to consider the use of weapons of mass destruction as a heinous crime. In fact, Iran has been the main victim of chemical weapons attacks during the war against Iraq led by Saddam Hussein in the 1980-1988 period. It is possible that Iran is working as a key partner in efforts to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in Syria, the Middle East, and beyond.

And ended the Iranian ambassador to say: Iran insists that the Security Council is the only body legally authorized to verify the allegations on the use of such weapons opener and decide on the appropriate response, and perhaps among the ways of cooperation emerging between the U.S. and Iran is now in Syria mutual support between the two sides to create a fact-finding mission by the Security Council to determine the identity of the perpetrators, and whether the use of chemical weapons "red line" in the eyes of Obama, it is also a red line in the opinion of Khamenei.
