Obama’s Administration and US- Iran Relations and Nowruz Celebration on Capitol Hill

by Dr. Wilson
 
Having been fortunate to be able to attend the above event, I felt it would interest many to hear what this group of enlightened speakers, both Iranian and American, had to say.  So I present the following summary: >>

The Turkish prime minister, Mr. Erdogan, stormed out of a heated debate at the World Economic Forum in Davos after slamming the position of Israeli President, Mr. Shimon Peres, over Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan walked out of the televised debate on Thursday, after the moderator refused to allow him to rebut the Israeli president's justification about the war that left about 1,300 Gazans dead.

Before storming out, Erdogan told Shimon Peres, the Israeli president: "You are killing people."

Peres told Erdogan during the heated panel discussion that he would have acted in the same manner if rockets had been falling on Istanbul.

Moderator David Ignatius, a Washington Post columnist, then told Erdogan that he had "only a minute" to respond to a lengthy monologe by Pires.

Erdogan said: "I find it very sad that people applaud what you said. There have been many people killed. And I think that it is very wrong and it is not humanitarian."

Ignatius twice attempted to finish the debate, saying, "We really do need to get people to dinner."

Erdogan then said: "Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I don't think I will come back to Davos after this."

The Persian Gulf War, also known as the Gulf War is also known as the mother of all battles (Um Al Mā'arik) Ar: ام المعارك in Iraq:

The Persian Gulf War international conflict was triggered by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990.

The Gulf war started when Iraq’s leader, Saddam Hussein, ordered the invasion of Kuwait with the goal of acquiring its large oil reserves, canceling a large debt Iraq owed to Kuwait. It also wanted to expand Iraqi power in the middle east.
 

On Tuesday, Riz speaks with an Israeli journalist who argues that the US, and the world community, must react more strongly to Iran. Ronen Bergman is the author of The Secret War with Iran: The 30-Year Clandestine Struggle Against the World's Most Dangerous Terrorist Power. Also joining the show is Hillary Mann Leverett, who left the Bush administration in 2004. She's a former National Security Council director for Iran and the Persian Gulf Affairs, and has criticised Washington's "major strategic blunders" in its relations with Iran.

Israel has made it clear it intends to end Iran's nuclear program with or without U.S. support -- and before President Bush leaves office. David Martin reports on mounting tensions in Mideast.

Protestors gathered in New York's Times Square in order to object to U.S. and Israeli tensions against Iran. This group of Anti-Iran War protestors was met with opposition from conservatives.
