U.S. Concerned about Iranian Flights over Iraq to Syria
[An Nahar]  The United States said Friday it is concerned about Iranian cargo flights over Iraq to Syria, saying it has warned Iraq they might contain arms that could be used by Damascus...The City of Jasminis the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... to crush protests. "Without getting into intelligence matters, we are concerned about the overflight of Iraq by Iranian cargo flights headed to Syria," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told news hounds. "We are consulting with Iraq about them and we are making the point that any export of arms or related materials from Iran, frankly, to any destination would be a violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1747," she said. Nuland said the Iraqis were also being told "that any arms sent to the Syrian regime at this time would obviously be used in the brutal repression that the regime is exacting on its own people." She added: "So we are in consultation with Iraq ... encouraging the government of Iraq to be absolutely sure about any cargo that is overflying its territory." Posted by: Fred 2012-03-17 |
