Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said on Saturday evening that global arrogant powers are exerting every effort to prevent Iran from acquiring technology to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
| Good for us global arrogant powers... |
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony for an education center in southern Lebanon, he stressed that global arrogance is using the nuclear issue to make countries toe its line and force them to capitulate. War mongering is a strategy used by big powers to exert pressure on smaller countries such as the Islamic Republic of Iran so that these cannot obtain access to nuclear technology. On the other hand, they turn a blind eye to the Zionist regime which is unrestrictedly building its weapons of mass destruction, he said, expressing his regret that even the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohammad Elbaradei, during a visit last month to the occupied Palestinian territories, pledged to help the Israeli regime complete its nuclear program.
| Don't they get tired of trotting out the Zionists every 20 minutes? |
Washington is exerting the same pressure on Syria, he said, while it continues to justify its failed policies in Iraq and blames anti-coalition forces for the bloodshed and massacre of civilians in that war-devastated country. Condemning the renewed desecration of Muslim holy sites in the Iraqi city of Najaf, Berri urged the Islamic and Arab states to stand up against the dictatorial policies of the oppressors. |
