In a very surprising move, UN leader, a notorious wimp and apologist for Iran has dis-invited the terrorist country from attending UN Syria Peace Talks. Iran is a big ally of Syria.
Fox News:
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has withdrawn his invitation for Iran to participate in Syria peace talks, a spokesman said, after the invite spurred objections from the United States and the Syrian opposition.
The secretary-general’s original invitation threatened to unravel the carefully planned meetings later this week in Switzerland, first in Montreux and then in Geneva. Though it was Secretary of State John Kerry who earlier this month floated the possibility of Iranian involvement — with conditions — Ban Ki-moon went a step further. To the dismay of the Obama administration, he invited Iran without first demanding that it publicly accept the premise that its ally Bashar Assad must leave power.
But as a Syrian opposition coalition threatened to boycott the talks, Iran refused to accept preconditions. A spokesman for Ban Ki-moon said the U.N. chief was “deeply disappointed” by Iran’s statements.
“He continues to urge Iran to join the global consensus behind the Geneva Communiqué,” spokesman Martin Nesirky said, referring to an earlier agreement. “Given that it has chosen to remain outside that basic understanding, he has decided that the one-day Montreux gathering will proceed without Iran’s participation.”
