Blinken: We are worried about a wider conflict with Iran/Cease fire talks will be revived

According to RCO News Agency, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who is currently in Doha as part of his regional trip to West Asia, after meeting with Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and consulting on developments in the region such as the Gaza war and Lebanon held a joint meeting and press conference with “Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani”, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister of Qatar.

“I thank Qatar for its role as a partner of the United States and its efforts to bring peace, security and progress to the region,” Blinken said in a joint press conference with his Qatari counterpart on Thursday. Qatar has played an undeniable role in bringing the prisoners home, ending the war in Gaza and creating a better future for the residents of Gaza. “Today, we discussed the ceasefire in Gaza and the return of prisoners.”

The US Secretary of State, who is on his 11th regional trip to West Asia, claimed: “Efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza depend in part on examining Hamas’s approach after the death (martyrdom) of al-Sanwar (Hamas’ political leader).”

Blinken’s claim and his attempt to show the Palestinian resistance as one of the obstacles to achieving a ceasefire in Gaza, while according to the Washington Post newspaper, it is the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, Benjamin Netanyahu, who has repeatedly hindered the ceasefire agreement by raising new demands. It became Gaza.

On the other hand, Blinken makes Hamas’s approach regarding the ceasefire seem unclear, as one of the leaders of the Hamas movement emphasized that the conditions of this movement for the ceasefire negotiations will never change after the martyrdom of Yahya al-Sanwar.

The possibility of reviving the Gaza ceasefire negotiations

Nevertheless, the US Secretary of State continued his press conference and said: “We have talked about the appropriate options to exploit this moment and I expect that our negotiators will resume their negotiations in the coming days.”

He added: “It is important to talk about the future of Gaza and create a clear plan for the future of Gaza so that the Israeli forces leave this area and Hamas does not rule this strip and the Palestinians rebuild their future and Gaza under the leadership of the Palestinian leadership.”

While Blinken calls for the non-rule of Hamas over Gaza and “rebuilding the lives of Palestinians under the leadership of the Palestinian leadership”, the Palestinians chose Hamas as their leader in Gaza, and according to published polls, the popularity of this movement is increasing in Gaza and the West Bank.

The US Secretary of State went on to claim that the US has formulated numerous plans for the reconstruction of Gaza and said: “Now all countries must decide what role they are willing to play to achieve peace in Gaza.”

Israel has reached its goals!

He added: “As I said earlier, Israel has achieved its strategic goals in Gaza. With the destruction of Hamas and the execution of justice against the leaders of this group and the perpetrators of the October 7th attack, including al-Sanwar, it has achieved its goals. In this regard, the time has come to try to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of prisoners.”

Referring to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Blinken claimed: “We must point out the critical conditions in Gaza, the suffering that children, women and Palestinians are experiencing in Gaza. America, as the largest donor to Palestinian refugees, will help Gaza with a new humanitarian package worth 135 million dollars.

Blinken’s escape and the glorification of American humanitarian aid to the Palestinian refugees in Gaza, while according to the statistics provided by the “Associated Press” News agency, in the past year, at least 17.9 billion dollars were spent on military aid to the Zionist regime, and a total of more than It has spent 22 billion dollars for its interventions in West Asia, and without American support, the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza would not have been possible and the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza would not have occurred.

Nevertheless, the US Secretary of State claimed: “Since October 7 of last year, US humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and the region has reached 1.2 billion dollars.”

He clarified: “It is not enough to send humanitarian aid to Gaza, but it is important for these packages to reach the Palestinians, and Lloyd Austin (US Secretary of Defense) and I wrote a letter to our Israeli counterparts, asking for the improvement of the humanitarian situation in Gaza.”

Blinken claimed: “We have submitted a list of our requests and we are following them daily. Progress has been made, but these actions are still not enough, and we will continue our actions to achieve our goals.”

America supports Israel’s right to defend itself

The US Secretary of State continued to point to the escalation of tensions in the region and said in hostile statements against Iran: “We are worried about a wider conflict with Iran.” After Iran’s renewed missile attack against Israel, the possibility of escalation of tensions is high. America supports Israel’s right to defend itself.”

Blinken refers to Iran’s missile attack as “Wadah Sadeq 2” operation. Iran, on October 10 (October 1st), during the Sadiq 2 operation, the aggressive and terrorist actions of the Zionist regime in the assassination and martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, the former head of the political office of Hamas in Tehran, which was considered by Iran to be a violation of Iran’s national sovereignty and foreign terrorism. , he responded to the assassination and martyrdom of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, the former Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and General Abbas Nilfroushan, Iran’s senior military advisor in Lebanon, during the attacks on the south of this country.

Iranian officials have emphasized that in case of any other aggressive action by the Zionist regime and its allies against Iran, the infrastructure of this regime and the interests of its allies in the region will be the legitimate target of Iran’s military attacks.

Nevertheless, during his press conference, Blinken continued his hostile statements against Iran and claimed: “We are working closely with Israel to prevent the repetition of similar actions by Iran and to make sure that any Israeli action in response to the attack Iran’s missile should not fuel the cycle of escalation of tensions.”

He also claimed: “We are working with our partners in the region to inform Iran that any attack on Israel will have far-reaching consequences against Iran’s interests.” “The risk of a wider war is high, and this issue has made us more determined to prevent this issue.”

Israel’s attacks must not turn into a long battle

Blinken went on to talk about the war in Lebanon and claimed: “In the conversation with the Prime Minister of Qatar, we also reviewed the developments in Lebanon. At the same time as Israel’s operation to remove threats against itself and its people on the Israeli-Lebanon border, America has always emphasized that this operation should not turn into a long battle and Israel must take the necessary measures to prevent civilian casualties, creating danger against UN peacekeeping forces or the Lebanese army.”

He claimed: “Right now, we are trying to reach a diplomatic solution in Lebanon and implement UN Resolution 1701 and return Lebanese and Israeli civilians to their homes.”

Blinken further stated: “The United States is trying to save this country from the clutches of Hezbollah by supporting Lebanese institutions.”

He continued: “We continue to support Lebanese political parties to fill the vacancy of the president in this country.”

Blinken’s acknowledgment of America’s desire to change the power structure in Lebanon comes at a time when Lebanon’s Hezbollah has repeatedly accused America of interfering in the country’s presidential election process and targeting the Lebanese national unity. According to the Lebanese resistance, US interference in the presidential election complicates the election process and threatens national unity.

Earlier, a Zionist media revealed the idea of ​​the occupying regime to weaken Hezbollah by holding elections in Lebanon.

In this regard, the Hebrew channel “Kan” revealed that the authorities of the Zionist regime have asked the American authorities to promote the new elections in Lebanon through Qatar in order to weaken the power of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

At the end of his press conference, Blinken claimed America’s efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
