Washington Eyes Iran Proxy War through Israel

Is there no limit to US hypocrisy?

(TEHRAN) - Israel's narrative of launching an attack on Iran's nuclear plants is so overpoweringly hyped up that Israelis believe such an attack will happen and that Iran will sit idly in the manner of a befuddled, thunderstruck and petrified nation.

Strangely, western and Israeli media aggrandize the military prowess of Israel to the skies and underestimate that of Iran.

Realistic Israelis may provide the only hope for avoiding war with Iran.

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Barak have been working hard to find sympathy for their craving to bomb Iran.

These words were expressed in full force on November 27, 2011 by Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.

The War on Iran is Already Underway

Washington's animosity toward Tehran is nothing new or unprecedented, nor is it related to Iran's nuclear program.

(TEHRAN) - Economic sanctions, psychological warfare, media propaganda, threats and assassinations...

what other sort of evidence one may need to believe that the United States, Israel and their European allies have already started their much liked war against Iran and that this unjustifiable war is taking its toll on the innocent, ordinary Iranian citizens?

Reactor Reax: Roundup of Nuclear Articles and Reports

'Reactor Reax' is brought to you by by Physicians for Social Responsibility.

(WASHINGTON DC) - In the news this week, licensing for nuclear power facilities may grow more difficult; an anti-nuclear group's reasoning influenced the NRC, which will now have to sort out some of their problematic nuclear policies.

Ordinary Citizens: the Silent Victims of Anti-Iranian Sanctions

Western warmongers are at work desperately trying to create WWIII.

(TEHRAN) - While the US and EU vehemently compete in the seemingly endless race of imposing sanctions on Iran, ordinary Iranian citizens are experiencing the most breathtaking, agonizing impacts of the crippling embargoes.

Israel, US Bent on Brewing Iran Crisis

Ihe US is hell bent on distorting the realities of the Islamic Republic as well as brainwashing public opinion in the world into believing that Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons.

However, the report was immediately denied by a top Israeli official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
