| Mottaki criticizes US policy in Middle East |
| 2010-01-26 |
| Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Monday that the White House policies in the Middle East are a "failure." We better listen up. He's never said that before, has he? Mottaki said the war against terrorism and extremism is used as a pretext for the presence of the US military in the oil-rich region. He made the remarks in a meeting with the visiting South African Parliament speaker, Max Sisulu, in Tehran. In another meeting with German Ambassador to Tehran Bernd Erbel, the Iranian minister said if Washington fails to revamp its approach in Afghanistan, the future of the war-ravaged country would be in doubt. US-led forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001, following the 9/11 attacks on US soil, to allegedly root out terrorism and establish democracy in the country. However, none of the stated objectives have yet been achieved. Mottaki said the American people and elites understand the severity of the situation in Afghanistan. |
