Big US, Israeli lies and deception about Iran

Islamic Republic of Iran promotes regional peace and stability in contrast to apartheid Israeli genocidal persecution of innocent Palestinians, attacks on neighboring countries, targeted assassinations, wars at its discretion, and contempt for virtually everything just societies hold dear.

Iran’s peaceful “nuclear project” with no military component fully complies with the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action   (JCPOA) provisions but Zionist regime is a longstanding nuclear outlaw. It maintains stockpiles of chemical, biological, radiological, and other banned weapons.

The following is an article in this regard by 'Stephen Lendman', Chicago-based Author, Research Associate of the Center for Research on Globalization, and host of The Progressive Radio News Hour, under the heading: "Big US, Israeli lies and deception about Iran." The article was taken from the website of Iran's English language TV network, Press TV.

Since its 1979 Islamic Revolution, ending a generation of US-installed fascist tyranny, the Islamic Republic of Iran never preemptively attacked another country.

It’s the region’s leading proponent of peace, stability, and mutual cooperation among nations – threatening none, except in self-defense if attacked, its fundamental right under international law.

Throughout Islamic Republic history, it’s been assaulted by endless disinformation, big lies, and fake news, truth-telling about the country suppressed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) a key disseminator of mass deception.

It illegally operates as an unregistered foreign agent for Zionist regime of Israel, breaching the US Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), accountability never forthcoming because Israel partners with US aggression and other high crimes.

Serving as its most prominent propaganda mouthpiece in the US, the organization supports its apartheid viciousness, ignores its high crimes, anti-Iran hate-mongering big lies and deception, one of its specialties.

AIPAC claims: Iran “prioritizes regional aggression and attacking Israel over the welfare of its own people.”

But the fact is that: Iran promotes regional peace and stability in contrast to apartheid Israeli genocidal persecution of Palestinians, attacks on neighboring countries, targeted assassinations, wars at its discretion, and contempt for virtually everything just societies hold dear.

AIPAC claims: Iran “spends an inordinate amount of money on furthering its nuclear project, promoting terrorism, and destabilizing countries throughout the region.”

But the fact is: 

1. All of the above are US, NATO, Israeli specialties, waging war on humanity at home and abroad.
2. Iran’s peaceful “nuclear project” with no military component fully complies with NPT and JCPOA provisions.
3. Zionist regime of Israel is a longstanding nuclear outlaw. It maintains stockpiles of chemical, biological, radiological, and other banned weapons.
4. What AIPAC conceals is most important to know.

AIPAC claims in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Gaza, Iranian forces are attempting to surround Israel with increasingly advanced weaponry, preparing for the next large-scale conflict against the so-called Jewish state.

But the fact is that:  All of the above are bald-faced big lies — what everyone paying attention knows. Lying machine AIPAC supports what demands denunciation, falsely blaming others for Israeli high crimes of war and against humanity.

AIPAC claims Zionist regime has already been forced to act to prevent highly sophisticated weaponry from reaching terrorist adversaries along its illegal borders.

But the fact is: 

1. The Zionist regime is one of the staunch supporters of Takfiri terrorists in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. It’s an apartheid regime, a fascist police entity, contemptuous of peace, equity and justice — a fantasy democracy like the US and other Western nations.
2. Its Prime Minister Netanyahu was just indicted for bribery, fraud, and breach of the public trust.
3. Israel is one of the world’s most ruthless regimes. It’s a rogue entity, spurning UN Charter provisions, other international law, major treaties, and its own Basic Law.
4. It gets away with mass murder and much more because the world community does nothing to hold its criminal class accountable.
5. Separate and unequal is official Israeli policy. The same goes for neoliberal harshness. Wealth, power and privileged interests run Israel for their own benefit exclusively.

Corruption is deep-seated. Haaretz earlier reported that Israel ranks among the Western World’s most corrupt regimes.

As long as Israel exists, along with a US regional military presence, peace and stability in West Asia remains unattainable — notions both countries abhor.

On all things Iran, bipartisan US hardliners and establishment media are lying machines about the country — congenital liar US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo worst of all.

In a bald-faced big lie, he roared recently: “The reason for the challenges to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s economy aren’t the American sanctions,” adding, "They’ve sent young Iranian kids off to fight in wars and die”, a US, NATO, Israeli specialty. Iran is at peace with its neighbors, at war with no other countries.

Pompeo claimed: “We’re working to make sure that every Iranian has their human rights respected.”

But the fact is: 

1. The US is the world’s leading human rights abuser on a global scale over a longer duration than any other nation in world history.
2. It’s contemptuous of what just societies hold dear, smashing nations to control them, responsible for countless millions of casualties and appalling human misery in the post-9/11 era alone.

On Saturday, US CENTCOM Commander General Kenneth McKenzie warned of a nonexistent Iranian threat claiming: “My judgment is that it is very possible they will attack again.”

Iran never attacked another country. Not a shred of credible evidence suggests it intends a strike on any other nation now or ahead.

Time and again, sovereign independent nations on the US target list for regime change are falsely blamed for offenses committed by their accusers — notably the US, UK, other NATO countries and Israel.

Claims by hardline US officials like Pompeo and McKenzie are completely in opposite of the truth about nations free from US control.

Along with its rogue allies, the US under both right wings of its war party is the greatest threat to world peace, stability, and humanity’s survival.
