Wat kreeg de Verenigde Staten op de knieën en dwong het land om te onderhandelen over Syrië ?
‘Rusland onderschepte ballistische raketten boven Middellandse Zee’
De twee ballistische raketten die onlangs in de Middelandse Zee terechtkwamen, waren zogezegd door Israël afgevuurd in het
kader van een gemeenschappelijke Amerikaans- Israëlische oefening.
Maar een bron vertelde de Libanese krant As-Safir dat de raketten in werkelijkheid vanuit Spanje zouden zijn afgevuurd en
onderweg naar Damascus, door Russische raketafweersystemen zijn onderschept. Eén raket zou daarbij in zee terecht zijn gekomen,
de andere zou in de lucht zijn geëxplodeerd.
In hun verklaring naar buiten toe hebben de Russen, nog steeds volgens As-Safir's bron, de ware toedracht van het incident
niet vermeld om de internationale verhoudingen niet te verstoren, zoals ze de Verenigde Staten ook duidelijk zouden hebben gemaakt:
... Head of the Russian Intelligence Service contacted the US intelligence and informed it that “hitting Damascus means hitting
Moscow, and we have removed the term “downed the two missiles” from the statement to preserve the bilateral relations and to
avoid escalation. Therefore, you must immediately reconsider your policies, approaches and intentions on the Syrian crisis,
as you must be certain that you cannot eliminate our presence in the Mediterranean.”
Truth of US-Russia Confrontation
Aggression was over the Moment those Two Missiles were Fired
A well informed diplomatic source told As-Safir newspaper that “the US war on Syria had started and ended the moment those
two ballistic missiles were fired, leaving inconsistent information, as Israel denied and Russia confirmed, until an Israeli
statement was issued indicating they were fired in the context of an Israeli-US joint drill and fell in the sea, and that
they were not related to the Syrian crisis.”
The source further told the Lebanese daily that “the US forces fired these two rockets from a NATO base in Spain, and were
instantly detected by the Russian radars and confronted by the Russian defense systems, so one of them exploded in the airspace
and the second one diverted towards the sea.”
In this context, the source pointed out that “the statement issued by the Russian Defense Ministry, which stated the detection
of two ballistic missiles fired towards the Middle East, intended to neglect two points: the first was the location from which
the two rockets were fired, and the second was their downing.
Why? Because the moment the full military operation was launched, Head of the Russian Intelligence Service contacted the US
intelligence and informed it that “hitting Damascus means hitting Moscow, and we have removed the term “downed the two missiles”
from the statement to preserve the bilateral relations and to avoid escalation.
Therefore, you must immediately reconsider your policies, approaches and intentions on the Syrian crisis, as you must be
certain that you cannot eliminate our presence in the Mediterranean.”
“This unannounced direct confrontation between Moscow and Washington increased the Obama Administration’s confusion and
certainty that the Russian side was ready to move until the end with the Syrian cause, and that the US did not have a way out
of its impasse except through a Russian initiative which would save America’s face…” he added.
From this point, the diplomatic source clarified that “in order to avoid further US confusion, and after Israel denied knowing
anything about the rocket firing in its first statement, which is the truth, Washington demanded Tel Aviv to adopt the rocket
firing to save its face in front of the International Community, especially since these two rockets were the beginning of the
US aggression on Syria and the announcement of the beginning of military operations, after which US President Barack Obama was
supposed to go to the G20 Summit in Russia to negotiate the destiny of Syrian President Bashr Al-Assad.
However, he went to find a way out of the impasse he’s in.”
The source further indicated that “after the US-Russia rocket confrontation, Moscow intended to increase its number of military
experts in Russia, and added to its military units and destroyers to enhance its military presence in the Mediterranean.
It also set a time for announcing about its initiative on stopping the aggression on Syria after the G20 Summit, after drawing
a side scene on the sidelines of the summit which was followed by two successive visits for Iranian Foreign Minister,
Hussein Amir Abdul Lahyan, and Syrian Foreign Minister, Walid Al-Moallem, in which a way out was agreed on with the Russian
side, and it included a Syrian announcement on approving the Russian initiative regarding putting Syrian chemical weapons
under international supervision and preparing Syria for joining the non-proliferation treaty.
Finally, the source pointed out that “One of the first results of the US-Russian military confrontation was the British House
of Commons’ rejection to participate in a war on Syria. This was followed by European stances, most significantly, the German
stance announced by Chancellor Angela Merkel."
