It has been nearly a week since Israel’s illegal, unprovoked assault against Iran, which has targeted their nuclear facilities, and killed top Iranian military leadership and nuclear scientists. The defense for this attack comes from the hysterical warnings of the same intelligence networks which gave us the bogus story of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, now saying that Iran intends to develop its own nuclear weapon, which it absolutely cannot have. This narrative is hysterically repeated by media, think-tanks, and other networks, despite the fact that Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, told CNN’s chief correspondent Cristiane Amanpour, yesterday, that the IAEA has “no proof” that Iran has been developing a nuclear bomb. U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, on March 25th, had also announced the U.S. Intelligence Community’s verdict that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, and there was no evidence to suggest that Supreme Leader Khamenei had authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.
Another question one might ask is, how many people in the United States know that Israel has been in possession of secret, illegal nuclear weapons since approximately 1967, on the eve of the Six-Day War? Why hasn’t anyone called for Israel to get rid of their nuclear weapons? Also, why hasn’t there been a call by nations to make Southwest Asia a nuclear-free zone? Yet, as the ‘ignoble liars’ behind the endless wars in the Middle East repeat to us, “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
The Trump Administration has been caught in this trap it seems, with wild, contradictory statements being issued by the President himself, such as disregarding Tulsi Gabbard’s assessment on March 25th, or calling Tucker Carlson, a noted MAGA supporter who has been raising the alarm about Trump sabotaging his presidency by getting into a war with Iran, “kooky.”
Reality has emerged in other corners of the world, for example, at Russia’s St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which has 170 nations represented, despite Russia supposedly being isolated from the rest of the world. There, on the sidelines of the conference, Russian President Putin responded to a snarky, hostile question from Reuters Executive Editor Simon Robinson, about Iran’s nuclear weapons program, reiterating the potential for regional cooperation in ensuring Iran’s access to peaceful nuclear technology, and ensuring security in the region:
“A second and very important point, which everyone is talking about, and so I will only repeat what we know and hear all the time, is that nothing has happened to Iran’s underground facilities. I believe that in this context it would be correct to join forces to put an end to hostilities and to find a way for the conflicting sides to come to an agreement, so as to ensure both the nuclear interests of Iran, including in the sphere of nuclear energy and other peaceful uses of nuclear power, as well as Israel’s interests regarding the unconditional security of the Jewish state. This is an extremely delicate issue that calls for extremely careful actions. However, I believe that a solution can be found.
“Overall, we could work with Iran, taking into account its plans to continue using and further developing non-military nuclear technologies, in particular in agriculture, medicine and so on, which are not related to nuclear energy, but we could also work with it in the sphere of nuclear energy itself. What makes me think so? The reason is that there is a sufficiently high level of trust between our countries. We have very good relations with Iran. We could continue this work and ensure Iran’s interests in this sphere.”
This proposal, along with Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s call for a new, security and development architecture, are to be discussed immediately with people. Not, “What is Trump going to do? Does he have a plan?” That is impotent, and not in the domain of reality. To get a sense of what’s actually going on, Bill Jones of Executive Intelligence Review, and Prof. Cliff Kiracofe, former Senior Professional Staff Member of the United States Senate on Foreign Relations, will provide a top-down overview of the strategic situation, and how to act.
