‘West to launch package war in Middle East’
The West will launch a package war against Iran, Syria and Hezbollah
as soon as they decide what to do with the Iranian nuclear program,
Abdel Bari Atwan, editor-in-chief of a London-based Arabic newspaper
told RT in an interview.
Atwan also believes the West is not intervening in Syria because they
are waiting to decide whether they are going to bomb Iran or not.
The editor of Al Quds al Arabi newspaper noted: "If
they have decided to bomb Iran I think they will bomb Iran and Syria
and Hezbollah. I think they will launch a package war."
“I
believe the war will take place, the question is when? The Israeli and
the Americans do agree there will be a war. But the difference is about
the timing of this war. It could be either before the American
presidential election or after it. The Israeli want it before the
election, the American will like to wait until they finish this
election,” he said.
Atwan explained that if Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad falls it would be easier for the West to intervene in
Iran, as it would mean the West had managed to secure the front against
Israel.
“They could neutralize tens of thousands of Syrian
missiles and war planes, which could participate in any war against
Iran, but in order to that you have to invade in Syria which is a very
complicated and costly adventure.”
The journalist is sure that nothing but the Iranian deadlock could make Syria a military target.
“The
West intervened in the Arab world to change regime twice – in Iraq and
Libya, because there are huge oil reserves there. But here are no oil
reserves in Syria, so who will compensate the West their losses?” he wonders.
