The ongoing war against Iran, from Operation Ajax to today
Eric Margolis is one of the most well-informed Western journalists when it comes to the Middle East. As opposed to the talking heads parroting propaganda lines about anything from Israel to Tibet, he has actually travelled around Asia and talked to leaders there first hand. Here he provides the truth once again.

-Strangling the economy to make the people abandon the leadersThe US has laid economic siege to Iran for 30 years, blocking desperately needed foreign investment, preventing technology transfers, and disrupting Iranian trade. In recent years, the US Congress voted $120 million for anti-regime media broadcasts into Iran, and $60-75 million funding opposition parties, violent underground Marxists like the Mujahidin-i-Khalq, and restive ethnic groups like Azeris, Kurds, and Arabs under the so-called "Iran Democracy Program."
The arm of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, remains withered from a bomb planted by the US-backed Mujahidin-i-Khalq, who were once on the US terrorist list.
Pakistani intelligence sources put CIA’s recent spending on "black operations" to subvert Iran’s government at $400 million.
According to an ABC News investigation, President George Bush signed a "finding" that authorized an accelerated campaign of subversion against the Islamic Republic. Washington’s goal was "regime change" in Tehran and installation of a pro-US regime of former Iranian royalist exiles.
While the majority of protests we see in Tehran are genuine and spontaneous, Western intelligence agencies and media are playing a key role in sustaining the uprising and providing communications, including the newest electronic method, via Twitter. These are covert techniques developed by the US during recent revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia that brought pro-US governments to power.
-Massive funding to political parties, easily dwarfing the spending of all other political parties combined
-Funding communist terrorists
-Funding ethnic minorities in the hope of starting a civil war
-Broadcasting anti-government propaganda across the border
-CIA "black operations"
-A "campaign of subversion" aiming to overthrow the Iranian government, signed by an American president
-Organizing the current anti-government demonstrations
American attacks on Iran never end. Remember, the CIA in its "Operation Ajax" helped overthrow Iran's elected leader, the wildly popular Mohammed Mossadegh, and installed the shah in his place. This because Mossadegh wanted to nationalize the country's oil, taking it from the British oil companies - and because the shah was loyal to Israel. 25 years of tyranny followed. When the people finally overthrew the shah, the Washington regime tried to strangle Iran financially. They then gave funding and supplies to their strongman in the Middle East, the brutally secular Saddam Hussein, who acted as a proxy and invaded Iran. Two million people died as a result.
When Washington planned to invade Afghanistan, Iran offered to help through its extensive network in western Afghanistan. Iran also offered to negotiate on every point that Washington had brought up against Iran earlier, including weapons programs and support to the Hezbollah. Washington refused, and instead included Iran in an "axis of evil," a phrase invented by Jewish speech writer David Frum. Since then Washington has continually lied about Iran's nuclear program, and even presidential candidates have threatened to kill millions of Iranians with nuclear weapons. UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has repeated over and over that Iran has always complied with the non-proliferation treaty they have signed - which, by the way, U.S. ally Israel has not signed. At all times, Israel has two or three illegal nuclear submarines (paid for by American taxpayers) outside the Iranian coast, ready to murder millions at an hour's notice.
Iran is surrounded by nuclear powers: Washington ally Israel to the west, Washington allies India and Pakistan to the east, Russia to the north and China to the northeast. Israeli and American nuclear submarines to the south. ZOG armies have launched illegal invasions of their neighbors to the east and west. And yet Iran is painted as the bad guy. In 2008, American presidential candidates from both parties repeated the phrase "keep all options on the table," recognized as a euphemism from neocon magazines, meaning a threat of nuclear attack on Iran. This, however, was treated as completely natural, even as a requirement for the candidates. Meanwhile the Iranian president has been demonized for the phrase "wipe Israel off the map," which is a false accusation; what he really said was that the Tel Aviv regime, like the Soviet Union, would eventually "pass from the pages of time."
Doesn't it look like there is one standard for Israel and its allies, and another standard for Israel's enemies? I wonder why that is. Could it be because of the immense Jewish dominance in American media? No, certainly not.
