De ambtenaren van de V.S.: Besluit betreffende het confronteren van Iran tot Irak
Vrijdag, 2 Mei, 2008
„Het is op dit ogenblik in de handen van Eerste al-Maliki van de Minister, het bewijsmateriaal over de vraag of of niet hij aan - kaal-onder ogen gezien gelogen - door de Iraanse overheid is gelogen,“ Sattler vertelde een het nieuwsconferentie van het Pentagoon. Het „bewijsmateriaal binnen Bagdad is gedeeld met de Iraakse leiding, en dat is waar het zich op dit ogenblik bevindt,“ hij toevoegde. De Iraakse leiders hopen aan druk Iran ophouden helpend milities door Teheran met het recentste bewijsmateriaal voor te stellen, zei een andere hogere defensieambtenaar. De ambtenaar, die op voorwaarde van anonimiteit wegens de gevoeligheid van de informatie spreekt, zei het niet duidelijk is of de Iraniërs zijn overeengekomen samenkomen om het bewijsmateriaal te bespreken. Maar de ambtenaar zei de Irakezen de Iraniërs aan einde willen drukken. De CIA Directeur Michael Hayden zei Woensdag dat het beleid van Iran is Amerikanen in Irak te helpen doden. Hayden legde de verklaring in antwoord op een studentenvraag terwijl af het spreken bij de Universiteit van de Staat van Kansas. „Het is mijn advies, is het het beleid van de Iraanse overheid, dat op hoogste niveau van die overheid wordt goedgekeurd, de moord van Amerikanen in Irak te vergemakkelijken,“ bovengenoemde Hayden. De V.S. de militaire ambtenaren hebben gezegd zijn bewijsmateriaal dat Iran Iraakse milities helpt geheime voorgeheugens van wapens omvat die datumzegels die hebben zij in Iran dit jaar werden geproduceerd tonen. De wapens omvatten mortieren, raketten, kleine wapens, kant van de wegbommen en pantser-doordringende explosieven - die als explosief gevormde indringers, of EFPs - die de troepen de laatste maanden hebben ontdekt worden bekend, volgens een andere hogere militaire ambtenaar die op voorwaarde van anonimiteit sprak omdat het bewijsmateriaal nog niet openbaar is gemaakt. Volgens één ambtenaar, plannen voor de V.S. officials to publicly present the evidence of Iranian support for the militias have been delayed to give the Iraqis time to speak directly to Tehran about the problem. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and other U.S. government officials have asserted that Iranian-trained Iraqi Shiite militiamen are carrying out attacks in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq — using weapons supplied by Iran — that are killing not only Iraqis but U.S. troops as well. Appearing with Sattler at the Pentagon was the Joint Chiefs’ operations chief, Army Lt. Gen. Carter Ham, who said the Iraqis will play “a leading role” in determining how to deal with the problem. “The government of Iran … made a commitment to stem the flow of fighters and material from Iran into Iraq,” Ham said, adding that U.S. military commanders in Baghdad “have stated that they’re not seeing evidence that that is, in fact, the case. I think it now is a matter for the government of Iraq.” Asked more directly what the U.S. government intends to do about the Iranian actions in Iraq, Ham replied, “Clearly the Iraqis have a leading role, but it is necessarily an international effort to which the United States clearly is a significant factor in this.” Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said last week that U.S. officials in Baghdad planned to publicly release evidence of continuing lethal Iranian assistance to militias inside Iraq. That plan is on hold to give the Iraqis time to speak directly to Tehran about the problem, one official said. Gates said Tuesday that the U.S. is not laying the groundwork for an attack against Iran. Addressing the same issue, Sattler said he knows of “no order or stepped-up effort to plan” for military action against Iran, adding that in his position as head of planning for the Joint Chiefs, he would know. The U.S. briefly had two Navy aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf this week — a move that Gates said Tuesday could be seen as a “reminder” to Iran. The Pentagon has routinely said that moving ships to the Gulf is a way of showing countries there that the U.S. remains committed to the region. The USS Abraham Lincoln entered the Gulf in a normal rotation of forces, and the USS Harry Truman and its battle group began heading toward their home base at Norfolk, Va., officials said. Ham said the two carriers were together in the Gulf for only a day, and that they conducted joint air exercises in the northern Gulf. ——— Associated Press writer Lolita C.
