[PRESSTV] NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
’s secretary-general says the Western military alliance would not come to Israel’s defense in case of any possible attack by Iran against the occupying regime.
Israel has repeatedly threatened Iran with military action and Iranian officials have pledged a "crushing" response to any act of aggression against the country.
Jens Stoltenberg told the German Der Spiegel magazine in comments published Saturday that Israel is a partner, but not a member and that NATO's "security guarantee" does not apply to the regime.
| Regime?? Jenselein, liebling — Israel is a parliamentary democracy, exactly like all the members of NATO except the U.S, which is a democratic republic. But perhaps this is not what the gentleman said, but how the Iran PressTV reporter chose to translate it. |
Stoltenberg said NATO was involved neither in peace efforts nor in conflicts in the Middle East.
Israel, which has a long history of waging wars and occupying sovereign states, has been trying to portray Iran, which has not attacked any nation for hundreds of years, as a threat to world peace.
Over the past years, the regime has been intensely lobbying with its American and European allies to dissuade them from engaging in diplomacy with Iran over its nuclear program and support instead a military action against the Islamic Theocratic Republic .
