U.N. succumbing to U.S. pressure tactics: PFI

Kozhikode: The Popular Front of India (PFI), a newly formed conglomeration of Muslim organisations in South India, including the National Development Front and Manitha Neethi Pasarari and Karnataka Forum for Dignity, has decried the United Nations Security Council decision to adopt a resolution against Iran.

In a statement here on Tuesday, PFI chairman E. Abubacker said the U.N. had buckled under the pressure of the U.S. to approve sanctions against Iran. The latest resolution was a continuation of the U.S. efforts to attack Iran in the name of that country possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction, he said.

America would not hesitate to attack Iran even though Russia and China had blocked the attempt in the resolution for some tough measures, including military action.

The move of America was a great threat to world peace, he said.

At the same time, Mr. Abubacker said, the U.N. and the U.S. were shielding Israel even though that country was not willing to obey the U.N. Security Council's recommendations.
