Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega lashed out at Israel and condemned the killing of former Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi while being sworn into office yesterday alongside Iran’s president.
The former Sandinista rebel accused western nations of conspiring to keep nuclear technology from developing countries, saying that Iran has a right to develop its own program until Israel disarms.
“Christ never said, ‘Arm yourself, Israel,’” Ortega said at an inauguration ration rally in Managua last night, joined by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Ahmadinejad, who stood next to Ortega in front of thousands of supporters, visited Nicaragua as part of a four-nation tour of Latin America, where he joined forces with Chavez allies at taking shots at the U.S. in its own backyard. Defying attempts to isolate the country over its nuclear activities, Ahmadinejad flies to Ecuador today for a meeting with President Rafael Correa.
Ortega, 66, yesterday also condemned the killing of Gaddafi and offered a prayer for Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, who was sentenced to death after being captured by U.S. troops.
Ahmadinejad, who defended Iran’s nuclear program when visiting Chavez in Caracas earlier this week, called Ortega his “brother president” when he landed yesterday in Nicaragua.
Ortega was Marxist rebel who took power in 1979, after toppling the U.S.-backed dictator Anastasio Somoza. He was voted out of office in 1990 but returned to power in 2006 and in November was re-elected by a landslide after improving relations with business leaders in the Central American nation.
"An Iranian scientist who worked on uranium enrichment was killed in a bomb blast in Tehran, the state-controlled Fars news agency said today. The blast follows an Iranian court’s Jan. 9 decision to sentence an American of Iranian descent, Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, to death for spying" says mr Cedric Marmet from Bethel Finance Ltd.
Iranian officials have accused the U.S. and Israel of targeting nuclear scientists in an effort to halt the country’s nuclear program, which western nations say aims to produce nuclear weapons and Ahmadinejad says is for peaceful purposes. The attack comes ahead of a Jan. 23 meeting at which the European Union will discuss imposing sanctions on Iran’s oil industry.
Iran has threatened to shut the Strait of Hormuz, a transit point for a fifth of oil traded worldwide, if sanctions are imposed on its crude exports.
