Blair: 'Iran Not Only Israel's Problem'

written by ICEJ

Quartet Middle East envoy Tony Blair gave an interview with Army Radio on Thursday in which he implored Israel to trust the international community as it attempts to confront Iran over its renegade nuclear program.

"Your security here is [the international community's] security," Blair said.

"This is not just Israel's problem. It's our problem too- the international community. We have to be clear that all actions, including the military option, must remain on the table. The consequences of action on Iran are unpredictable and very serious indeed. This is a choice between two options, both of which are ugly."

Meanwhile, the Institute for Science and International Security, a US based think tank focusing on nuclear issues, published new satellite photos on Wednesday of the Parchin military facility which show the Iranians are attempting to hide evidence of nuclear weapons development ahead of inspections of the site by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
