'US poker, Iran chess: Lies vs strategy'

European foreign ministers are expected to discuss fresh sanctions against Iran, following an attack on the UK embassy in Tehran. Ahead of the talks in Brussels, British Foreign Secretary William Hague called for increased economic pressure and isolation on Iran's financial sector. On Tuesday, hundreds of protesters attacked the UK embassy, occupying it for several hours. The demonstrations came after Iran resolved to reduce diplomatic ties with the UK following its decision to impose further sanctions over its nuclear programme. Violence prompted Britain to close the Iranian embassy in London and to pull its own diplomats out of the Islamic state's capital. Political analyst and author Adrian Salbuchi says the West is waging a complex war against Islamic countries. Source
