The Iranian Majlis speaker says the sudden decision by the US to militarily intervene in Iraq after its inaction regarding the massacres in the Arab country and its Western neighbor, Syria, shows Washington’s duplicitous and double standard policies. “[US President Barack] Obama has become concerned about the Kurds while many Christians, Sunni Muslims, Druze and Alawites were killed in Syria, but they(US officials) remained silent,” Ali Larijani said at a gathering in Tehran of Iranian ambassadors and envoys on Tuesday.
The Iranian official said the US also refused to take any action in Iraq despite the killing of a great number of Sunnis, Kurds, and Izadis since the breakout of the crisis in the Arab country. “Now, all of a sudden they have become conscious. This shows that they (US officials) have adopted a double standard and tactical approach toward this issue and this is wrong.”
