La mediación de Lula con Irán enturbia el foro de la Alianza de Civilizaciones.- Moratinos defiende el "tremendo esfuerzo de Brasil y Turquía"

Um dia depois de a secretária de Estado americana, Hillary Clinton, criticar a aproximação do Brasil com o Irã, o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva voltou nesta sexta-feira a defender o acordo nuclear que mediou ao lado da Turquia.

Last week, Brazilian President Lula da Silva and Turkish Prime Minister Reccep Erdogan announced a breakthrough agreement on the Iranian nuclear impasse that they claimed would make further sanctions on Iran "unnecessary." The agreement, accepted by Iran, was immediately rejected by the US and its European allies, who chose instead to continue the three-decade long US effort to strangle and isolate Iran by all means available. In what Graham Fuller, a top-ranking former intel official, called "a stunningly insulting response," Hillary Clinton proudly announced consensus for a fourth round of sanctions against Iran days later, which she called "as convincing an answer to the efforts undertaken in Iran in the past few days as any we could provide."

Pues bien, los límites del gramado diplomático concebido por Lula quedaron demarcados con nitidez ayer: de un lado, dos cuadros internacionalmente modestos pero ascendentes, como son Brasil y Turquía, y del otro las potencias occidentales, cuya voz cantante la lleva la secretaria de Estado Clinton.

China and the United States opened three days of high-level meetings here on Monday meant to broaden and deepen the ties between the world's largest developed and developing economies.
