US and Israeli governments plan a military attack against Iran, possibly using nuclear bombs [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], possibly this month (March 2006) for reasons including: stopping the planned opening of an international oil-petrochemical-gas stock exchange for oil trade in euros [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]; control of Khuzestan province [1] [2] [3] where most Iranian oil lies, on the border with Iraq (US war plan OPLAN 1002-04); to distract attention from USA domestic political problems; and for Christian fundamentalist reasons - Bush says he "was just following God's orders when he ordered the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq." [Yes we know! Bush is telling us, that "The good Lord does not make mistakes!" He has a special telephone line to his "god" who daily gives him the orders whom he must kill next. You see, it is his "war criminal god" who is doing all this, and Bush cannot be held responsible for anything. - tj]

The official excuse for the attack is the possible nuclear weapons program in Iran: ex-CIA agents Paul Pillar and Ellen Laipson as well as retired United Nations weapons inspector Hans Blix state that if Iran were really trying to build atom bombs, then the most effective way to stop this would be a guarantee from the US and Israel not to attack Iran. [Yes, but this is not the point here! The "Iran-attack" is just an excuse. It's all about OIL, and the DOLLAR, ... as stated in the article above! /tj/]

Key facts:
* Iran has not (yet) violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), though the National Intelligence Community in the USA estimates that Iran could build nuclear bombs in about 10 years' time, and it seems that nuclear proliferator (US ally) Pakistan gave some help to Iran to do this [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
* USA, France and the UK grossly violate Article VI of the NPT, which requires disarmament
* Germany violates Articles I and II of the NPT by nuclear sharing
* Israel has about 75-200 nuclear bombs and has neither signed nor ratified the NPT, but it is a member of the IAEA - the agency making inspections for the NPT
* in June 2005, the USA blackmailed IAEA chief El Baradei to either "get tough" on Iran or lose his job. />>> read more/

• N.B. This very long page is a goldmine with tremendous amount of information about Iraq, and the possible nuclear war against Iran. The war might come in the Middle East, but it affects the civilization of the whole world! We cannot afford to be in the dark anymore. Only well informed people can make the right decisions. /tj/
