Gareth Porter: Dubious intelligence used as pretext for tougher sanctions
Editor's Note: The UN nuclear watchdog the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) is 80% funded by the nuclear industry. Is this more dubious intelligence such as presented to the public to get them on board with an invasion of Iraq? There was no "yellow cake" or WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) as you recall. This same war drum has been beaten in the past regarding Iran being on the verge of developing nuclear weapons.
Back in 1951 Iran was actually a friend and had a democratically elected leader Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. However, the Iranian government decided to nationalize their oil fields, which were previously all controlled by the British owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. As a result, the CIA and MI5 organized a coup (Operation Ajax) to overthrow that friendly regime, causing eventually the Shah (a brutal dictator) to be installed. The Shah was overthrown by the Mullahs and this is the current regime in place today. These are historical facts and can be verified via Wikipedia.
Essentially we have only ourselves to blame with regards to the current regime which is in place in Iran, which is the result of more of the same terrible hegemonic foreign policy.
