President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s political Advisor, Dr. Abdulkareem al-Iryani warned Thursday against any US strike against Iraq. Iryani said in a press interview with 26 September official weekly that this adventure will not be without price paid by all parties involved, including the attacker. He stressed that the consequences of the strike will include the whole region. He seemed very pessimistic about any possibility to avoid the attack. He said, “the pictures are so dark and only ignorant will feel optimistic in this regard,” he denied any Arab strategy in the upcoming scenario in the Middle East.
He said Israeli strategy dictates that no Palestinian state whatsoever should be established. He said the missing trust among Arab political regimes lies behind the missing of an Arab Strategy. He accused some anti-Arab Muslims to stand behind the aggressive media barrage against Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
