The White House toughens the policy concerning Iran
The president of the USA Georges Bush warns Iran that the attempts of Teheran to interfere with internal affairs of Iraq will entail reciprocal actions from the USA. This caution has followed after the Iranian ambassador in Baghdad has declared that Teheran is measured to render the Iraq authorities the military and economic help.
The White House for many times accused Iran of support of terrorism and in weapon deliveries to insurgents in Iraq who used it for attacks on Americans and their allies. In the interview to National public radio of the USA Georges Bush, in particular, has noted that if Iran wished to cease to play a destructive role in Iraq and wished to play a constructive role, the USA would warmly welcome such efforts. Unfortunately, no changes have occurred till now. The representative of the White House has repeated previous claims of the USA to Iran’s actions in others regions. The contest of these claims is that Iran also tries to prevent democratic processes in Afghanistan and Lebanon.
The US vice-president Richard Cheney has also mentioned the Iranian theme. In his interview to the Newsweek journal Cheney has declared, that the Near-Eastern countries are interested in the American military presence in the region as a counterbalance to the growing Iranian expansion. According to his words, the arrival of the aircraft-carrier Stennis into the Persian Gulf (thus, now there are two American aircraft groups in the northern part of the Arabian Sea) submits to Teheran a signal, that the USA takes the Iranian threat very seriously.
Despite of more resolute statement and actions of the White House concerning Iran, the vice-president has emphasized, that America is still making attempts to stop nuclear aspirations of Iran by diplomatic means of the United Nations.
