Road to Tehran
The Western imperial powers seem intent
on regime change in Iran. It has been said that, “the road to Tehran is
through Damascus,” and such sentiments have been expressed by the King
of Saudi Arabia, a ruthless tyrant who represses his own and neighboring
populations (such as in Bahrain), and who calls for Syria to show
“restraint” against its ‘repression.’ The hypocrisy of the West and its
regional allies knows no bounds. The Western puppets, as we know from
Wikileaks releases, favor a U.S. military strike against Iran, yet the
Arab world as a whole does not. In fact, the wider world – and the vast
majority of the global population – supports Iran’s right to nuclear
enrichment, but we are told that Iran “defies” the so-called
“international community.” From official report, documents, and
statements, we know that Iran has no nuclear weapon or any nuclear
weapons program, but still, Iran is presented as a “threat.” What is the
basis for this threat? What are the intentions and actions of the
imperial powers against Iran? How do the sanctions affect Iran and its
people? Are we, indeed… on the road to Tehran?
