THE World Peace Council is extremely concerned about the heightening of tensions in the Persian Gulf. In recent months, the US has steadily increased its threats against Iran and now the situation in the region has become critical with war by the US — and its allies in Saudi Arabia and Israel — on Iran a very real possibility.
After a series of measures, sanctions and threats, including the withdrawal from the international agreement with Iran regarding economic sanctions and Iran’s access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, the US administration stepped-up threatening openly with military operations against Iran which pose a major threat to the Iranian people and have seriously raised international tensions.
Some of the US’ most deadly weapons of war have been sent to the Persian Gulf close to Iran, including several warships, an aircraft carrier and fighter jets as well as B52 bombers, on top of the deployment of the US Patriot Missile system to the region, despite the contradictions within its allies in Nato itself.
