Pompeo Blames Iran's Regime for Oil Attack, Calling It an 'Act of War' Written by  Shamsi Saadati  on  23 September 2019 . United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday insisted Iran's regime was definitively to blame for  attacks on Saudi oil production facilities  for which Tehran-backed Houthi rebels have taken credit. The attacks, which hit an oilfield and a production facility, "could not have come from the Houthis. It’s crazy for anyone to assert that they did," Secretary Pompeo said on CBS’s "Face the Nation." "This was an act of war. ... This was a state-on-state act of war." Host Margaret Brennan noted that the Iranian regime's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has forcefully denied Tehran's responsibility for the attacks, but Pompeo countered that “there’s already ample evidence” Zarif is lying. “I don’t know why anyone listens to the Iranian foreign minister,” Secretary Pompeo added. “It’s benea...

Zarif: Soleimani and I have great cooperation and meet every week Written by Staff Writer on  02 September 2019 . The Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, while bowing to the criminal commander of the terrorist Qods Force Qassem Soleimani, reiterated that he and his ministry represent nothing other than the ruling theocracy’s terrorist and warmongering policies. “Commander Soleimani and I never felt we have any differences. We have been working together closely for over 20 years,” he told the state-run daily Entekhab on September 1, 2019. “During the U.S. attack on Iraq, as Iran’s representative in New York, I spoke, on orders from the country’s senior leadership, to American officials and had the greatest coordination with commander Soleimani. Subsequently, when I became minister, the two of us decided to make sure we meet at least once a week when we were both in Tehran to review the latest developments and undertake the necessary coordination,” Zarif added....

Iranian foreign minister should be banned from Europe, not welcomed – Struan Stevenson Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif There was the usual ­outpouring of criticism when President Trump imposed sanctions on Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s Foreign Minister. The left-wing press predictably went into meltdown, protesting in anger against the blacklisting of a foreign minister. But few people expected President Macron of France to extend a ­invitation to Zarif to attend the G7 summit in Biarritz. This appeared to be a particularly provocative move by the French president, given that Donald Trump was also attending the conference in Biarritz. Macron’s invitation should have come as no surprise. He has ­positioned himself as Europe’s ­leading appeaser of the medieval, ­fascist Iranian regime. But, it is worth taking a closer look at why the US State Department took the action it did. As Foreign Minister, Zarif is in charge of Iran’s army of ambassadors ...
