5/27/2012 Laying the Foundations for Preemptive Nuclear War Against Iran
Source: Activist Post
Date: Sunday, May 27, 2012
by: Nile Bowie
As prospects for a preemptive strike on Iran remain ever present, the recent round of talks between the P5+1 and Iran in Baghdad on May 23rd, 2012 have resulted in a familiar stalemate. As a precondition for any deal to stop higher-grade uranium enrichment, Tehran requested immediate relief from economic sanctions as a show of reciprocity [1]. Iranian chief negotiator Saeed Jalili emphasized Tehran’s right to develop peaceful nuclear energy as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while the P5+1 refused to scale back economic sanctions, insisting Iran suspend its 20% uranium enrichment program [2].

2/21/2012 Iran Holds Air Defense Drills As IAEA Says Iran Blocks Access To Key Nuclear Site

As if the market needed another bizarro catalyst to ramp even higher courtesy of an even more pronounced drop in corporate earnings courtesy of soaring energy costs, that is just what it is about to get following news of further deterioration in the Nash equilibrium in Iran, where on one hand we learn that IAEA just pronounced Iran nuclear talks a failure (this is bad), and on the other Press TV reports that the Iran army just started a 4 day air defense exercise in a 190,000 square kilometer area in southern Iran (this is just as bad). The escalation "ball" is now in the Western court. And if Iraq is any indication, after IAEA talks "failure" (no matter how grossly manipulated by the media), the aftermath is usually always one and the same

1/31/2012 War Propaganda: 70% of Americans believe Iran has a nuke, the same percentage as in 2002 who believed Saddam Hussein had a WMD
Source: RT News
Date: 1/31/2012
by: Liz Wahl
On Tuesday the Senate held a hearing to discuss what the US views as worldwide threats. It is no surprise that Iran made the top of the list as tensions between the West and Iran have grown. According to some reports, 70 percent of Americans believe Iran has a nuclear weapon despite Secretary Defense Leon Panetta admitting that is false. Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst, joins us to discuss should Americans be afraid of Iran and if America should go to war on an if.
[Editor's Note: The following article by Ray McGovern, senior CIA analyst who used to brief Ronald Reagan, breaks down the war propaganda and true agenda (in McGovern's view) behind deceptively making the public think Iran has a nuke and is about to use it: Israel Tamps Down Iran War Threats]

1/25/2012 Contrary to Widespread Claims, There Is NO EVIDENCE that Iran Is Building a Nuclear Weapon
Source: Washington's Blog
Date: 1/25/2012
Iran Is NOT Building a Nuclear Bomb
Earlier this month, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said:
Mohamed ElBaradei – who spent more than a decade as the director of the IAEA – said that he had not “seen a shred of evidence” that Iran was pursuing the bomb.
Six former ambassadors to Iran within the last decade say that there is no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons, and that Iran is complying with international law.
The International Atomic Energy Agency states:
What about Iran’s enriching uranium to 20%? The IAEA considers 20 percent enriched uranium to be low-enriched uranium and “a fully adequate isotopic barrier” to weaponization. In other words, 20% is well within the legal guidelines for developing a program of nuclear energy.

Iran Is NOT Building a Nuclear Bomb
Earlier this month, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said:
Are they [the Iranians] trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No. But we know that they’re trying to develop a nuclear capability. And that’s what concerns us.Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed in a Senate hearing – following the release of the classified National Intelligence Estimate in 2011 – that he has a “high level of confidence” that Iran “has not made a decision as of this point to restart its nuclear weapons program.”
Mohamed ElBaradei – who spent more than a decade as the director of the IAEA – said that he had not “seen a shred of evidence” that Iran was pursuing the bomb.
Six former ambassadors to Iran within the last decade say that there is no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons, and that Iran is complying with international law.
The International Atomic Energy Agency states:
All nuclear material in the facility remains under the Agency’s containment and surveillance.In other words, all nuclear fuel is accounted for and is being controlled and monitored by the international agency tasked with nuclear non-proliferation.
What about Iran’s enriching uranium to 20%? The IAEA considers 20 percent enriched uranium to be low-enriched uranium and “a fully adequate isotopic barrier” to weaponization. In other words, 20% is well within the legal guidelines for developing a program of nuclear energy.

1/12/2012 Who killed Iranian nuclear scientist?
Source: RT News
Date: 1/12/2012 upload date
by: Liz Wahl
Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was assassinated Wednesday when two men on a motorcycle stuck a magnet bomb to his vehicle and rode off. According to reports, Roshan is the fifth Iranian nuclear scientist assassinated in the last two years. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly denied American involvement and no one has come forward claiming responsibility for the murder. Jamal Abdi, policy director for the National Iranian American Council, helps us analyze who could be responsible and will this cause greater tension between Iran and the US.
[Editor's Note: This is an excellent news report which importantly points out that the Iranians do not yet have a nuclear weapons program, as stated by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta himself. Rather, what the Iranians are actually doing (based on factual evidence) is developing nuclear capability [to boil water] and that it is up to present or future Iranian leaders to decide whether or not to go forwards with a real nuclear weapons program.
There is speculation that the Mossad and MEK (formerly classified by the United States government as a terrorist group) may have been responsible for killing the director of the Iran's uranium enrichment program Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan. Or, as Liz Wahl's guest Jamal Abdi, policy director for the National Iranian American Council, speculates it could have been some other group or hardliners within the Iranian government itself who do not want Iran to be peacefully incorporated in to the international community. We do not know for sure who is responsible.
I hope that we the public are more vigilant this time and do not get suckered in to believing another lie similar to the WMD/yellowcake deception which was used as an excuse to invade Iraq with catastrophic consequences both in loss of life and economically.]
