Iran Plot: A Pretext for War
Richard Javad Heydarian, Foreign Policy in Focus: 'At this juncture, it may be too early to pass a credible judgment on the substance and validity of the allegations, but there are just too many reasons to dismiss them as another cynical attempt to further isolate Iran. In the greater scheme of things, such accusations might be part of America s strategy to push its 'regime change' agenda in Iran. Although only a trial in an impartial, credible, and civilian court could shed light on the truthfulness of the U.S. claims, we have every reason to take Washington s allegations with a grain of salt.'

After the big build-up, the actual content of the IAEA report is a major let-down: the movie is nothing like the previews. That isn t stopping the 'mainstream' media from running screaming headlines. ... CNN stated flatly: 'Iran Developing Nuclear Bombs.' Yet the report nowhere said anything this definitive: examined under a microscope - which is how we should look at any and all pretexts for war - the whole tissue of suppositions and 'secret' information is revealed in all its embarrassing flimsiness...
