Damascus-Sana
Despite the widespread spread of the Corona epidemic and the mobilization of the whole world to support international efforts to confront this virus, the United States, in which it has been widespread, continues to politicize crises to achieve its ambitions and still insists on imposing coercive economic measures against sovereign states that reject their dictates, despite their awareness of the impact of these dangerous measures in efforts Anti-virus.
After exceeding one million and 200,000 Corona injuries and more than 65,000 deaths in the world, according to news agencies, Washington continues to hinder the untiring efforts of various countries to combat it, as it ignored a few days ago, global demands to lift unilateral coercive measures imposed on many countries such as Syria, Iran and Venezuela and opposed and its allies In the European Union, a Russian draft resolution in the United Nations General Assembly provides for the abandonment of these measures, which, according to the US "World Socialist" website, greatly affect cooperation between countries in facing the Corona epidemic and the global efforts to contain it.
The site made it clear that the United States not only refused to give up its aggressive measures, but also escalated its unlawful unilateral measures imposed against Iran and Venezuela and imposed new coercive measures against them to increase the severity of the crisis these two countries face due to the Corona virus.
The American site pointed out that the illegal measures imposed by Washington on Iran were affecting heavily before the emergence of the Corona virus in the country's health system because, contrary to what the United States claims, it impedes purchases of major medicines and medical materials that are used in the manufacture of medicines from global markets, leading to this increase Suffering among hundreds of patients, especially those with serious diseases such as cancer.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has long claimed that humanitarian aid and medical supplies are not included in its coercive measures against Iran, but the falsehood of these allegations has become fully apparent not only after Washington refused to lift its coercive measures that hamper Tehran's efforts to combat the Corona virus only, but on Wednesday, Trump renewed his threats to launch Aggressive action against Iran and Venezuela, which also faces unlawful coercive measures.
World Social website attributed Trump's new threats against Iran and Venezuela to his attempt to divert attention from the growing anger among Americans about the catastrophic failure of his administration to deal with the Corona virus, which has claimed the lives of more than 7400 of them, and this failure has aroused officials of the Pentagon. “Amid growing fears of the virus spreading widely among US soldiers deployed on military ships or on missions outside the United States.
In evidence of the boiling situation in the American military circles as a result of the failed Trump administration's dealing with the Corona virus, the Foreign Policy magazine published an article yesterday that revealed that the Pentagon vehemently opposed the US president's decision to send warships to the Caribbean Sea under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking, especially after recording HIV infections Corona aboard the US aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.
Washington's unilateral coercive measures on countries that refuse to obey their orders in the face of a dangerous global crisis like Corona not only cement the colonial approach that the United States insists on following through the past decades, but also proves that the concept of humanity does not exist in the dictionary of American politicians and confirms their short-sightedness and their inability to perceive the size of The dangers posed by their aggressive policies in a global pandemic such as Corona.
