US Trying to Discredit Iran With Yemen Charges

A US political analyst said Washington’s claim alleging that the missiles fired at Saudi Arabia by Yemeni fighters had Iranian origin is in fact a “propaganda campaign”, which aims to destroy the credibility of Iran, particularly in the eyes of the American public.

“My feeling is that this is just a propaganda campaign and it fits in with [the US] desire to somehow undermine the nuclear deal and this sort of thing. So any chance they get, whether it’s true or not, to destroy the credibility of Iran they’re going to take it,” Lawrence Davidson told Radio Sputnik in a recent interview.

Asked about the reason behind the anti-Iranian outlook of the recent US administration of Donald Trump, Davidson pointed to the wealthy Zionist lobby in the US as the main body pushing such negativity against Iran.

“If you are going to try and maximize your political position here in the United States which takes a lot of money, you are going to play to those who give you the money and the Zionists, both Christian and Jewish, are very heavy donors,” he said.
