Iran is the problem not the solution for India

Indian PM Narendra Modi visit to the United States

Indian PM Narendra Modi visit to the United States


In an article published in the Indian Express on June 19, 2016, former US Senator, Joseph Lieberman warns Indian government of not falling for a petty interest in dealing with the terrorist sponsor regime of Iran. The article explains that financial and economic relations with the mullahs’ ruled Iran, would rob any country of real and tangible benefits of doing business with the rest of the world.
Senator Lieberman explains that Iran’s long cold war with Saudi Arabia has become hotter in recent times, evidenced by the ransacking of the Saudi embassy in Tehran and the ongoing wars in Syria and Yemen. The international community cannot afford to take its eye off Iran and Hezbollah—whether they are threatening Israel or Saudi Arabia. This past month, a senior adviser to Iran’s Quds Force warned that Iran could wipe out Israel “in less than eight minutes”. Iran also continues to host high-level delegations from terrorist organizations which endanger many of America’s allies. Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei and Hezbollah Secretary-General Nasrallah view Israel and Saudi Arabia as two sides of the same coin.
Hezbollah’s heavy involvement in Syria on behalf of the Assad regime has provided the terrorist organization with new weaponry and sophisticated logistics and tactical training from both Iran and Russia, making it more dangerous.

Saudi Arabian diplomats who had been based in Tehran have returned home to Riyadh with stories of mistreatment at the hands of Iranian officials, Euro News reported on January 6th, 2016.
Their arrival follows their government’s decision to cut ties with Saudi’s main political and religious rival in the region following an attack on its embassy.
Leading embassy diplomat Mohammed al Otaibi told journalists at King Khalid International airport:
“We witnessed a complete destruction, they messed up the contents of the embassy (in Tehran), then there were three days of horror which we were forced to live through until we arrived here at the airport thank God.” He went on to claim his staff had been forcibly searched.
An Iranian mob stormed the Saudi embassy, setting it alight on Saturday
Despite the breach in relations Saudi Arabia says it will not affect talks on Syria, another round of which is scheduled in Geneva this month.
