/PanARMENIAN.Net/ US State Department is trying to smooth Vice
President Jospeph Biden’s statement on Washington’s intention stop
Israel from launching preventive attack on Iran’s nuclear bases.
About a day after Biden’s statement on ABC TV channel, State
Department gave official response in which it says that the United
States disapproved Israel’s plan for attacking Iran. "We wouldn’t
certainly want to give a green light to any kind of military action,"
State Department representative Ian Kelly stressed.
"United States share Israel’s fears of Iranian threat, but Washington
should be aware of Jerusalem’s decision in the given aspect. Israel
is a sovereign state, and its decision will not meet any obstacles
by United States," US State Department quotes Kelli as saying.
Mr. Biden announced previously that US had no right to dictate the
actions of a sovereign state, and it was up to Israel to determine
whether or not to strike any targets in Iran.
