Behind the Scenes of U.S./Iran Relations

Behind the Scenes of U.S./Iran Relations

Damascus (Syria) | 14 January 2020
By having Iranian General Qassem Soleimani assassinated in Iraq, President Trump nearly provoked the Third World War. At least that is the version of the US opposition and the international press. For Thierry Meyssan, what happens behind the scenes is very different from the show on stage. According to him, there is a move towards a coordinated military withdrawal of the United States and Iran from the Middle East.

MR GILLIGAN: This is all pretty elaborate, isn’t it? (Laughter.) Well, good morning. My name is Tom Gilligan. I am the director of the Hoover Institution. I want to – it’s my great pleasure to welcome you all to listen to a message from our chief diplomat from the United States.
I especially want to thank the students for being here, our future policy makers, for taking time to join us in this important dialogue.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Hoover Institution, we’re a (...)

US poised to continue as No. 1 oil producer

6 November 2019
The United States, which is currently the leading oil-producing country thanks to fracking, is expected to hold its position longer than anticipted.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has acknowledged its inability to keep the price of oil at the $ 60 level. Washington may be expected, as from 2022, to start jacking up its prices to ensure the profitability of shale oil extraction in the face of mounting (...)

US rebuffs Turkey’s genocide denial

US rebuffs Turkey's genocide denial

30 October 2019
The House of Representatives adopted a resolution «Affirming the United States record on the Armenian Genocide» (H.Res.296).
Its purpose is not to establish a historical truth, nor to designate culprits and even less to open the door to compensation payments. It is a political motion aiming to assert that the United States opposed the genocide while it was being perpetrated and that it distances itself today from Turkey’s denial stance.
Another draft of this resolution had been tabled in (...)

The US model for « sovereign » government

Rome (Italy) | 31 July 2019
On the occasion of the grotesque speech by Giuseppe Conte before the Italian ambassadors, Manlio Dinucci reminds us that whatever the sympathy we may have for the people of the United States, their country is still the main predator of humanity. We can in no circumstance claim to share their «values».

Iran paralysed

Damascus (Syria) | 18 June 2019
The rise of tension in the Gulf is a dangerous game which could turn bloody at any moment. The unclaimed sabotage of the tankers could have been perpetrated by almost any of the parties, including the United States, who are well-versed in the use of false-flag operations. However, rational analysis shows that Teheran today is not at all in this state of mind.

The European Union threatens to resort to the WTO against the United States

20 April 2019
The European Union informed the United States government that it will resort to the World Trade Organization (WTO) if the US tightens its economic blockade against Cuba by enforcing chapter III of the Helms-Burton law.
The United States has announced that it will enforce Title III of the Helms-Burton Act (Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Freedom) Act of 1996), thereby authorizing so-called "Cuban-Americans" to pursue legal claims for properties which were confiscated after the (...)

The UNO destroyed by US « exceptionalism »

by Thierry Meyssan

The UNO destroyed by US « exceptionalism »

Damascus (Syria) | 2 April 2019
Now weakened in comparison with their Russian and Chinese competitors, the United States have returned to their historical reflexes. In terms of foreign relations, they have abandoned the liberal international order and returned to the doctrine of exceptionalism. By questioning their own engagement with the Security Council, they have opened the way to the deconstruction of international Law and the end of the United Nations. This evolution, which shocked the countries of Western Europe and plunged them into confusion, had been anticipated by Russia and China, who were preparing for it.

The new Grand Strategy of the United States

Damascus (Syria) | 26 March 2019
Many people think that the United States is very active, but does not succeed in much. For example, it is said that its wars in the Greater Middle East are a succession of failures. But for Thierry Meyssan, the USA has a coherent military, commercial and diplomatic strategy. According to its own objectives, it advances patiently, and is crowned with success.

Russian comment on US plans to conduct missile tests on intercepting an ICBM

Moscow (Russia) | 22 March 2019
We have noted reports in the US media, referencing the Pentagon’s “unnamed sources,” on the intention of the US military to test the interception of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by an SM-3 Block IIA antimissile in 2020.
Washington also announced similar plans in the Missile Defence Review published on January 17 of this year.
These intentions are bound to cause apprehensions. Reports on the planned tests to intercept an ICBM with an SM-3 Block IIA antimissile again confirm (...)

The price of US « protection » is skyrocketing

Rome (Italy) | 14 March 2019
The United States intend to consider their allies as protectorates no longer. Consequently, the US is asking them to pay the cost of their protection, failing which, it will withdraw. Such was President Trump’s announcement on 17 January at the Pentagon. It was presented at NATO in February, but was only made public this week. It is a decision which applies to all the allies, from Japan to Germany. The problem is that Washington is also asking its allies to align with US positions… just as they did as protectorates.

SECRETARY POMPEO: Thank you, Dan. Thank you all for joining me. I see you standing in the back. It’s like church, there’s empty pews in the front if you want to come up and grab a seat. I do think – is there anyone from the Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association here? I’m pretty sure I’m the only former member to ever serve as Secretary of State, so you should put that right on the front of your web page. I think that’s legal.
Good evening, everyone, and thanks to you all for being here. I (...)

The 116th US Congress is preparing a new war against Syria

Damascus (Syria) | 31 January 2019
We were wrong to think that the Syrians were out of danger after their victory over the jihadists. They are not. Israël and the United States have not abandoned their war objective of the destruction of state structures. They are preparing a new war, this time financial, in order to prevent the reconstruction of the country and condemn the Syrian people to rot in the ruins.

Russian comment on the new US Missile Defence Review

Moscow (Russia) | 18 January 2019
A new Missile Defence Review was released by the United States on January 17. The content of this document is bound to evoke serious concern. It is openly confrontational and once again demonstrates Washington’s goal of achieving undivided military supremacy in the world and the ability to conduct with impunity military operations in defence of its interests in any part of the globe. In this context the document continues the policy described in the US National Security Strategy and the (...)

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 8 January 2019
My fellow Americans: Tonight, I am speaking to you because there is a growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border.
Every day, Customs and Border Patrol agents encounter thousands of illegal immigrants trying to enter our country. We are out of space to hold them, and we have no way to promptly return them back home to their country.
America proudly welcomes millions of lawful immigrants who enrich our society and contribute to our nation. But all Americans are hurt (...)

Why is the United States suddenly withdrawing from Syria?

by Valentin Vasilescu

Why is the United States suddenly withdrawing from Syria?

Bucharest (Romania) | 21 December 2018
The US Air Force is condemned to defeat if it confronts the Syrian Arab Army, which now has in its possession Russian anti-air materials, the best in the world. The US’s only viable option is to leave, sparing itself any humiliation.
History is repeating itself. Once before, in Iraq, the United States had used Kurdish combattants, promising them a State before letting them be massacred by Saddam Hussein. Today the US lets other Kurds to whom it has also promised a State, face up to Turkey alone. _ In a few months the war will be over. After eight years of fighting and tens of thousands of Islamist mercenaries being sacrificed, Nato’s dream of destroying Syria’s state structures will have failed.

The USA is preparing for a confrontation with Russia and China

Rome (Italy) | 13 December 2018
The US Commission on the National Defense Strategy was created in 2017 in order to provide Congress with some expertise on the subject. However, its principal source of information is the US Institute of Peace, the equivalent of the NED for the Secretary of Defense. As a result, its bipartisan attitude is in reality the point of view that the Pentagon wants to defend via the Democrat and Republican Parties.
