MESOP : TEHRAN’S REACTION ON OBAMA’S AIRSTRIKES
IRAQ’S YAZIDI REFUGEES – A hard-line Javon Online editorial criticized President Barack Obama for his decision yesterday to provide humanitarian aid to Iraq’s Yazidi refugees, in addition to approving limited airstrikes against the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq. The writer argued, “According to the White House, if the Iraq’s Shia government wanted any type of (American) help to attack the terrorist group ISIS, it would be be under the condition that Prime Minister Nuri al-Malaki step down, but only on Thursday, after ISIS advanced in the north and began burning Christian churches and crosses did Barack Obama order air strikes on ISIS militants.”
