Subject: txt nsec intl iran - National Security Adviser Says
Washington – Gen. Jim Jones, President Obama’s national security adviser, claimed Monday that the administration had seen “unprecedented” success in rallying the world against Iran through its strategy of engagement.
“Engagement, our strategy in Iran, has resulted and is resulting in an unprecedented level of international consensus and unity on Iran,”
Jones told reporters Monday. The four-star general made the comments at a liberal think-tank, the Center for American Progress (CAP),
But while the other Security Council nations were reportedly considering circumventing the U.N., James Phillips of The Heritage Foundation, said that option has also recently imploded as well.
“I don’t know what consensus that he’s referring to that we should be encouraged by. I don’t see any progress being made,”
Phillips, who is Heritage’s senior fellow for Middle Eastern affairs, told CNSNews.com.
“Just today, the foreign ministers of the EU (European Union) backed away from imposing sanctions and said that they should be imposed only by the Security Council or that it’s necessary for the Security Council to take the lead.”
