Israel/Iran

Asked why we were trying to sanction Iran, but not Israel as it too was developing nuclear weapons, the PMOS said that the approach to Iran was one that was spearheaded by the UN and it was in defiance of the UN. The question was whether Iran abided by its obligations under the UN. In terms of the President of Iran, he had put a new perspective on the issue by threatening to wipe out Israel. The PMOS said that again, it gave added cause for concern, so rather than addressing it through the perspective of Israel, people should address it through the perspective of the UN and ask the question: did a country have to abide by its UN obligations?

Put that Israel did not abide by its UN obligations, the PMOS replied that that was a separate issue, and not one to be confused.

Nothing demonstrates British subservience to US foreign policy more clearly than the Blair clique’s pretending that Iran, which just might develop nuclear weapons, is a greater threat to peace in the middle east than Israel which already possesses them, and the USA which possesses them in huge numbers.
