'US attack on Iran spells World War III'
The Obama Administration's strategy for re-election is to start wars, but if the US were to “attack Iran,” it would “end up in a World War III,” a political analyst has told Press TV.
Edward Spannaus, editor of the weekly US-based news magazine Executive Intelligence Review (EIR), told our channel from Washington on Saturday that “his [US President Barack Obama's] puppet masters, the people who pull his strings, do want war.”
“Iran of course is at the top of the list right now,” he noted and said, “It may start with an attack on Iran, but it would end up in a general world war.”
"This is how dangerous the situation is right now. And Obama -- as we know -- has done everything that Bush [former US president] and Cheney [US vice president under Bush] did, and he is likely to… get us involved in World War III," he said.
On a potential military action by the Western military alliance of NATO against Syria, he said such a measure would function to precede similar ones against other countries. “Syria is very high on the list.”
His remarks come in the wake of the latest anti-Iran publicity campaign by Washington and Tel Aviv in which the duo have once again threatened Tehran with the "option" of a military strike, based on their rhetorical allegation that Iran's nuclear work may consist of a covert military diversion.
Iran, however, has persistently argued that it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a long-time member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
