Washington Eyes Iran Proxy War through Israel

Is there no limit to US hypocrisy?

(TEHRAN) - Israel's narrative of launching an attack on Iran's nuclear plants is so overpoweringly hyped up that Israelis believe such an attack will happen and that Iran will sit idly in the manner of a befuddled, thunderstruck and petrified nation.

Strangely, western and Israeli media aggrandize the military prowess of Israel to the skies and underestimate that of Iran.

To Bomb or Not to Bomb

Realistic Israelis may provide the only hope for avoiding war with Iran.

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Barak have been working hard to find sympathy for their craving to bomb Iran.

So far they haven’t been able to convince eight hesitant senior ministers; and according to Haaretz, have attempted to convince the Israeli public of the imagined danger to their security.

Israel`s `Bomb Iran` Timetable

Bottom line: we were warned that the train had left the station; that any initiative to prevent miscalculation or provocation in the Gulf was bound to be far too late to prevent escalation into a shooting war.

(WASHINGTON DC) - As the clock ticks down to the U.S. elections in November, another clock is ticking in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem...

Iran War: Countdown to Israel Doomsday

Israel must ask itself: how many Iranian missiles can the Zionist entity take 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? 100,000? 150,000 or more?

(TEHRAN) - “Why on earth is the Zionist regime making threats against Iran? How many missiles have they prepared themselves for? 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? 100,000? 150,000 or more?"

These words were expressed in full force on November 27, 2011 by Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.

U.S., EU Sanctions Have Endangered Lives of Iranian Patients: Iranian Hemophilia Society

Group also cites disruption in the supply of medicines to patients in Iran.

(TEHRAN) - The Iranian hemophilia society sent a letter to the president of the World Federation of Hemophilia and the president of the World Health Organization on July 28, warning about the negative effect of sanctions on the health of hemophiliacs in Iran.

“As you are aware, hemophiliacs and other patients suffering from serious blood coagulation disorders need to regularly take medicines and receive blood products imported from the United States and European countries.

The War on Iran is Already Underway

Washington's animosity toward Tehran is nothing new or unprecedented, nor is it related to Iran's nuclear program.

(TEHRAN) - Economic sanctions, psychological warfare, media propaganda, threats and assassinations...

what other sort of evidence one may need to believe that the United States, Israel and their European allies have already started their much liked war against Iran and that this unjustifiable war is taking its toll on the innocent, ordinary Iranian citizens?

Iranian Lawmakers Call for Halt to `Massacre,` `Genocide`

The Burmese government refuses to recognize Rohingyas, who it claims are not natives and classifies as illegal migrants, although the Rohingya are said to be Muslim descendants of Persian, Turkish, Bengali, and Pathan origin.

(TEHRAN) - The Iranian Parliament this week condemned the “massacre” of Muslims in Burma, and called on the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) to take action.

“The Human Rights Commission (of the Iranian Parliament) condemns the massacre and genocide (of Muslims) in Myanmar and asks the UNHCHR to enter the scene responsibly and call for a stop to the killings of the Muslims...”

A Statement: Eluded Peace

The incidents of ordinary people being attacked by the army for no rhyme or reason are not rare occurrences in the North.

(JAFFNA, Sri Lanka) - The widely advertised ‘war for peace’ came to an end more than three years ago. Yet the fruits of this peace are yet to be enjoyed by the people in the North, who were most affected mentally, physically and economically.

This reality is verified by the day to day events which are taking place here. The hop for a real peace is declining day by day.

Iran Sanctions: US War of Nerves

Sanctions against Iran started under Reagan in 1983 when the US accused Iran of sponsoring terrorism and opposed international loans to the country.

(TEHRAN) - In continuation of the US-led illegal sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran, Congress passed on Wednesday night a bill, which imposes more embargoes on the country.

They included the parent companies of foreign subsidiaries violating sanctions as well adding penalties for those that help Iran’s petroleum, petrochemical, insurance, shipping and financial sectors.
