World press on potential US-Iran cooperation in Iraq (June 16, 2014)The words of John Kerry about the potential cooperation between the US and Iran against the rebels in Iraq are widely discussed in American press.“When you have people murdering, assassinating in these mass massacres, you have to stop that. And you do what you need to do if you need to try to stop it from the air or otherwise,” the Washington Post quotes Kerry. “We’re open to discussions if there is something constructive that can be contributed by Iran, if Iran is prepared to do something that is going to respect the integrity and sovereignty of Iraq.” "ISIS claimed that it had executed scores of men, further underscoring the risk of sectarian slaughter. The group posted gruesome photos on a Twitter account showing men in civilian clothes lying face-down, shoulder to shoulder and with their hands bound, in a ditch in Salahuddin province, as masked fighters from ISIS fired at them", writes the Washington Post.“The United States will do its part to help Iraq move beyond this crisis, and we urge all Iraqis to unite against this violence,” the newspaper quotes the State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki."The Pentagon also announced Monday that the amphibious transport dock ship USS Mesa Verde has entered the Persian Gulf, joining other U.S. naval ships already there, including the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush. Rear Adm. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said the naval presence gives President Obama “additional options to protect American citizens and interests in Iraq, should he choose to use them,” says the newspaper.
