Familiar Hitlerite campaign continues

In a rare moment, all sixteen US intelligence agencies are reported to have reached a consensus view that the government of Iran is not, in fact working on a nuclear bomb. This view is contained in the US National Intelligence Estimate, which declares that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program way back in 2003!

This has once again exposed the hollowness of the claims of the US-led imperialist powers. They have been crying themselves hoarse as to how Iran is hell-bent upon developing a nuclear bomb. Never mind that it is, in fact, the right of a sovereign government to develop and possess nuclear weapons given the present global situation in which the most dangerous powers such as US and Israel not only possess huge stockpiles of nuclear weapons but also have threatened to use them many a time.

This however does not mean that the US-led imperialists are going to lay off Iran. Much before they aggressed upon Iraq in 2003, UN-appointed weapons inspectors had gone on record expressing doubts about the very existence of “weapons of mass destruction” (WMDs), one of the purported reasons for the Anglo-American imperialists to attack Iraq. No evidence of the existence of such weapons, which allegedly threatened the security of the world, was ever found. Soon after the aggression and occupation of Iraq, it became abundantly clear to the vast majority of people in the world, that control of energy resources and other strategic and political aims dictated the aggression, WMDs were only a cover.

The familiar Hitlerite campaign continues in the case of Iran too. Dastardly economic sanctions have been enforced by the US-led imperialists, making it very difficult for third countries to trade with Iran. Readers would recall that debilitating sanctions were in place in Iraq for several years, completely ruining the economy of that country, prior to the 2003 aggression.

The government of Iran is clearly sought to be isolated and threatened because it has not accepted US dominance and asserted its’ sovereign rights. The peoples of India and Iran have ties of friendship and cooperation going back several centuries, which the US-led imperialists want us to jettison. People's Voice calls upon the Indian people to continue to stand by the brave Iranian people. We must instead force our government to jettison its strategic alliance with US imperialism, the most dangerous power on earth today!
