US/IRAN FRIENDSHIP, A PATH ABANDONED
11-2-18 The Iranian
Students Association (ISA) at the university of Arkansas will host an invited
speaker, Dr. Afshin Marashi, who
will give a lecture titled “Old Friends: The Forgotten History of US-Iranian Relations”.
. . . . Iran and the
United States have been in conflict with one another since the 1979 Iranian revolution and the ensuing
444-day hostage crisis at the U.S.
Embassy in Tehran. One consequence of this troubled history has been each
country’s use of harsh rhetoric — including slogans such as “the Great Satan”
and “the Axis of Evil” — to describe one another. Another equally important consequence of this now forty-year US-Iranian
“Cold War” has been to obscure a much older and much more enduring history of
US-Iranian social, economic, cultural, and political interaction and
cooperation. From the history of religion, philosophy, and literature, to
education, medicine, agriculture, and politics Iranians and Americans have had
a long history of mutual understanding and cooperation that stretches back to
the early nineteenth century. This talk will survey the legacy of this shared
past, and will highlight key episodes in the forgotten history of US-Iranian
relations.

“The Coming American Assault on Iran 2018.” 05/11/2018 (Also
published in Z Magazine Aug. 2018). https://www.juancole.com/2018/05/coming-american-assault.html
The new American strategy
on Iran is to dismantle the nuclear deal and lay the groundwork for a military
strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Mike Pompeo, Trump’s most recent
Secretary of State, recently visited Saudi Arabia and Israel, and in both
countries he focused almost exclusively on Iran. As yesterday’s early
morning bombing of Iranian targets in Syria has
shown, the Israelis are becoming increasingly concerned that a permanent
Iranian military presence in Syria will harm their security.
Israeli Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu recently expressed dismay when Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov refused to rule out a long-term Iranian presence
in the Golan Heights. John Kerry recently revealed that the Israelis frequently
appealed to the Obama administration to attack Iranian nuclear sites.
He also revealed that all American allies in the Middle East have repeatedly
implored the United States to take military action against Iran.
The Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA)
was specifically focused on freezing Iran’s capacity to enrich uranium over the
next 25 years. In 2014, Pompeo, then Republican senator of Kansas, went on
record as stating that “it is under 2,000 sorties to destroy the Iranian nuclear
capacity. This is not an insurmountable task for the coalition forces.” These
are not the words of a man who has much patience for diplomacy.
North Korea is different:
it already has nuclear weapons and the ability to strike American targets.
Pompeo speaks softly with the North Koreans, but with Iran, which has no
nuclear capacities (and according to Pompeo himself, was not seeking them prior
to the nuclear deal), he carries a stick. John Bolton, whose support for the
criminal invasion of Iraq in 2003 is well documented, has long advocated a military strike against Iran, and he has
a very cozy relationship with the Mujahideen-e-Khalq, an Iranian dissident
organization dedicated to regime change in Iran.
No doubt, the Trump
administration does not expect the Iranians to accept any renegotiation of the
nuclear deal. This is already clear from the absurd requirements they expect
the Iranians to accept in any future deal. They want Iran to refrain from pursuing its geopolitical objectives
in the region while Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Israel freely
pursue their own policy of further destroying the Palestinians, supporting radical Islamists in Syria against Asad,
and creating the worst humanitarian crisis in the world in
Yemen.
For their part, the
Iranians already see the nuclear deal as a huge compromise: Iran is a signatory
to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the treaty clearly states that
signatories are not under any legal obligation to refrain from enriching
uranium, so long as it is used for civilian, not military purposes.
The fact that the Iranians even accepted this deal is already a major
concession to Western powers, and the only reason they accepted the deal was to
escape years of crippling economic sanctions. The idea that they would now
return to the table after years of grueling negotiations is highly unlikely.
The Trump administration
no doubt knows this, and must already have discussed how to react to the
possibility of Iran’s decision to pull out of the deal. The Trump
administration will do all it can to freeze Iran’s economy and sanction any European firm that does business with Iran,
effectively re-imposing the sanctions the Iranians hoped to escape by signing
the nuclear deal: “Even once all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran
have been lifted, Iran will remain one of the most sanctioned countries on
earth.”
This de facto blockade
will embolden hardliners in Iran who saw in the nuclear deal little more than
capitulation to the fickle and ever-changing demands of the West. The Iranians
will themselves abandon the deal if the cost of remaining in it becomes higher
than the cost of pulling out. They may decide to reinstate their enrichment program.
The Trump administration is betting that this will occur, and that it will
cause European powers to unite behind an American military strike against Iran.
All of the pieces will be in place.
No sooner did Pompeo end
his brief visit to Saudi Arabia and Israel than did Netanyahu go live on
Israeli television and, standing behind a screen that read “Iran Lied” in big
black letters, claim that he has special evidence of a secret Iranian nuclear
program. Political theatre: the Washington Post reports that most of the
evidence presented dates back to 2015, before the nuclear deal was even signed,
and that “intelligence experts and diplomats said he did not seem
to have presented a ‘smoking gun’ showing that Iran had violated the agreement,
although he may have helped make a case on behalf of hawks in U.S. President
Donald Trump’s administration who want to scrap it.” He appears
to have succeeded.
The meaning of Trump’s
alleged “isolationism” is finally becoming clear: what he really opposes are
large-scale ground invasions (which he perceives as a drain on American
military resources), not air campaigns against foreign adversaries. He hired
Pompeo and Bolton partly in order to pursue a more aggressive strategy against
Iran. They know what they are doing.
An American strike against
Iran raises the specter of a wider regional war. Unlike their mute response to Israel’s
recent strike against Iranian targets in Syria, the Russians will likely see
any attack on Iran as an attack on one of their key assets in the region. Those
opposed to military action against Iran urgently need to start speaking up now
if they hope to inform the American public on the disastrous consequences any
attack against Iran is likely to have, for the region and for the Iranian
people themselves.

Dear Friends,
With a great demonstration of conviction, we've held 11
consecutive weeks (3 months) of peace protests calling for a stop to war on
Iran and imperialist warfare everywhere. We've certainly reached the
minds of thousands of Arkansans, both through media coverage and the many
honking cars.
Here are a few photos from Week 11
We've decided that this coming Saturday will be our final
protest in this series, but should hostilities escalate, we will resume.
We'll also be prepared to organize a snap protest at Senator Tom Cotton's
office if and when threats of war are peaking. Please bring your friends
this next Saturday, August 31, at 11 a.m. in front of the Washington County
Courthouse in Fayetteville. Let's go out with a bang for peace!
If you can, please help print/distribute the attached fliers,
especially at Farmers Market & UA campus. Also, if you're on Facebook,
please share & invite your friends to this Facebook event page.
See You Saturday!
Bolton’s plans for war
March 11, 2019
WIN WITHOUT WAR
Dick, did you see my
email yesterday? The Trump administration is racing toward war with Iran
— John Bolton even demanded plans for a full-scale military strike.
We’ve seen this build-up
before. We’ve seen the deadly consequences. We HAVE to stop Trump, Bolton, and
their Iran hawk cronies from dragging us into a devastating war of choice
cribbed right from the Iraq war playbook.
—Stephen
Dick,
Breaking: John Bolton
asked the Pentagon to draw up plans to bomb Iran.
Last spring, amid a wave
of domestic protests in Iraq, several shells landed near the U.S. embassy in
Baghdad. News just leaked that Bolton used this incident to demand plans
to launch a full-scale military strike on Iran – shocking even top military
officers. [1]
Bluffing and
fearmongering to plunge us into a deadly war of choice? We’ve seen this
before. We’re looking at a horrifying repeat of the Iraq War playbook.
We HAVE to stop this.
And as Trump brings the federal government to a standstill with his racist
tantrums, Win Without War is one of the few groups 100% focused on
blocking Trump’s path to war with Iran. We are using every tactic
at our disposal — from Congress to the media. And we need your support.
Trump’s march to war
with Iran isn’t a “last spring” problem. It’s a RIGHT NOW problem.
Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo is in the middle of a recruitment tour to create a coalition of
autocrats ready to go to war with Iran. We’re talking dictators like Saudi
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who engineered the devastating war in Yemen
and the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi. [2]
Why? Because
international support — a “Coalition of the Willing” 2.0 — is one of the last
ingredients Trump needs to get in place to spark a terrible war with Iran.
Dick, most of the
government is in the grip of a total shutdown. Hundreds of thousands of
Americans are going without paychecks, health care access, and other fundamental
needs. But Pompeo’s visits to his authoritarian buddies this week prove
that the Iran war machine isn’t shutting down. It’s picking up speed.
That’s why Win Without
War is going all out to block the march to war with Iran, before Bolton
can manufacture another excuse for war out of thin air. We’re demanding Congressional put up legislative
roadblocks to war. We’re outlining the clear diplomatic alternatives. We’re
raising the alarm in the media. And we need your help:
Today’s news pulls back
the curtain on what’s really happening behind the closed doors of Trump’s war
cabinet. It’s terrifying — and I’m so grateful for activists like you who
refuse to stay silent while John Bolton works overtime to drag us into a
terrible war of choice.
Thank you for working
for peace,
Stephen, Kate,
Cassandra, and the Win Without War team

WIN
WITHOUT WAR v. Trump
Dick — The Trump administration is making B-list movie posters to normalize the
path to war with Iran. [1]
It would be funny, if it
weren’t so deadly serious. This level of blatant propaganda for war
with Iran is straight out of the Iraq War playbook:
[= the US world domination playbook].
Step one: Get the
American public to think Iran [Russia, North Korea, Venezuela] is evil.
Step two: Call for regime change.
Step three: Start a devastating war of choice with Iran.
The silver lining here
is, Win Without War knows the Iraq War playbook inside and out. What’s more, we know how to beat it. We’re
stiffening Congress’ spines. We’re exposing the regime change industry and
their shady schemes. We’re absolutely not about to let the Trump administration
drag the American public off the cliff into a devastating war of choice with
Iran.
Now, when Trump is
threatening Iran with regime change in front of a room of world leaders.
Now, when we have a
brand-new bill that would block Trump’s path to war with Iran — and we need to
mobilize fast to get the Senate on board.
Thank you for working
for peace,
Cassandra, Amy, Stephen, and the Win Without War team

JULY

The
United States, Saudi Arabia and Israel, responsible for military fiascos,
hundreds of thousands of deaths and war crimes in the Middle East, are now
plotting to attack Iran. |
Narrated
by Eunice Wong
The
United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia are plotting a war with Iran. The 2015
Iranian nuclear arms accord, or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA),
which Donald Trump sabotaged, does not look
like it will be revived. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is reviewing
options to attack if Teheran looks poised to obtain a nuclear weapon and
Israel, which opposes U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations, carries out military
strikes.
During
his visit to Israel, Biden assured Prime Minister Yair Lapid that the U.S. is
“prepared to use all elements of its national power,”
including military force, to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon.
Saudi
Arabia, Israel and the U.S. function as a troika in the Middle East. The
Israeli government has built a close alliance with Saudi Arabia, which produced
15 of the 19 hijackers in the September 11 attacks and has been a prolific
sponsor of international terrorism, supporting Salafi jihadism, the
basis of al-Qaeda, and such groups as the Afghanistan Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
and the Al-Nusra Front.
The
three countries worked in tandem to back the 2013
military coup in Egypt, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who overthrew its
first democratically elected government. He has imprisoned tens of
thousands of government critics, including journalists and human rights
defenders, on politically motivated charges. The Sisi regime collaborates with
Israel by keeping its common border with Gaza closed to Palestinians, trapping
them in the Gaza strip, one of
the most densely populated and impoverished places on earth.
Israel,
the only nuclear power in the Middle East, has conducted an ongoing campaign of
covert attacks on Iranian nuclear sites and nuclear scientists. Four Iranian
nuclear scientists were assassinated, presumably by
Israel, between 2010 and 2012. In July 2020, a fire, attributed to
an Israeli bomb, damaged Iran’s Natanz nuclear site. In November 2020, Israel
used remote control machine guns to assassinate Iran’s
top nuclear scientist. In January 2020, the United States assassinated Gen.
Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, along with nine other
people including a key figure in the anti-ISIS coalition, Abu Mahdi
al-Muhandis. It used an MQ-9 Reaper to fire missiles into his convoy, near
Baghdad’s airport.
If
similar attacks had been carried out by Iranian operatives inside Israel, it
would have triggered a war. Only Iran’s decision not to retaliate, beyond lobbing about a dozen ballistic
missiles at two military bases in Iraq, prevented a
conflagration.
On July
7, Iran informed The
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it is using IR-6
centrifuges with "modified subheaders.” The declared purpose of the
enrichment process at its underground facility at Fordow is to create uranium
isotope enriched up to 20 percent—far below the 90 percent enrichment levels
necessary to create weapons-grade uranium. Under the JCPOA agreement,
enrichment levels were capped at 3.67 percent.
Israel
has allocated $1.5 billion for
a potential strike against Iran and, during the first week of June, held large-scale military exercises,
including one over the Mediterranean and in the Red Sea, in preparation to
attack Iranian nuclear sites using dozens of fighter aircraft, including
Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets.
The
2016 Memorandum of Understanding signed by President Barack Obama
provides a 10-year, $38 billion
military package for Israel.
Israel
and its lobby in the U.S. are working to scuttle negotiations with Iran
to monitor its nuclear program. The preparation for war mirrors the
Israeli pressure on the
U.S. to invade Iraq, one of the worst strategic decisions in U.S.
history. MOREListen to This Article: "War with Iran"
Why Is Biden
Joining The Warpath Against Iran?
By Ted Snider, Responsible Statecraft. Popular Resistance.org (7-21-22). On March 24, President Biden drew
a red line: if Russia uses chemical weapons in Ukraine, it “would trigger a
response” from NATO. Asked to elaborate on the nature of the response, Biden
had no script to guide him. “The nature of the response would depend on the
nature of the use.” Then, he elaborated: “It would trigger a response in kind,”
seemingly announcing that the US would respond to a Russian chemical weapons
attack with a chemical weapons attack of their own. Two days later, at the end
of his speech, Biden seemed to call for a coup in Russia, adding the line,

Mitchell Plitnick. Biden’s Words
Make War With Iran More Likely.
Mondoweiss. July 16, 2022.
Joe Biden sat down for a wide-ranging interview
with an Israeli television station. In it, there were two chilling statements
regarding Iran. When asked if he was prepared to walk away from the Iran
nuclear deal (or JCPOA) if the only way to close the deal was to remove the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the list of Foreign Terrorist
Organizations (FTO) he said, simply, “Yes.” And when asked if he was prepared
to use military force against Iran, he responded, “As a last resort, yes.” That
was not good enough for Acting Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, but it was a
very grim assessment of... -more-

PROTESTS for PEACE: FROM JIMMY CARTER TO CODE PINK
Brett Wilkins. “Jimmy Carter. US 'Most Warlike Nation in History of the
World'.” Common Dreams. Thursday, April 18, 2019.
. . . .Carter then
said the US has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation.
Counting wars, military attacks and military occupations, there have actually
only been five years of peace in US history—1976, the last year of the Gerald
Ford administration and 1977-80, the entirety of Carter’s presidency. Carter
then referred to the US as “the most warlike nation in the history of the
world,” a result, he said, of the US forcing other countries to “adopt our
American principles.”
China’s peace dividend
has allowed and enhanced its economic growth, Carter said. “How many miles of
high-speed railroad do we have in this country?” he asked. China has around
18,000 miles (29,000 km) of high speed rail lines while the US has “wasted, I
think, $3 trillion” on military spending. According to a November 2018 study by Brown University’s Watson Institute of
International and Public Affairs, the US has spent $5.9 trillion waging war in
Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other nations since 2001.
“It’s more than you
can imagine,” Carter said of US war spending. “China has not wasted a single
penny on war, and that’s why they’re ahead of us. In almost every way.”
“And I think the
difference is if you take $3 trillion and put it in American infrastructure
you’d probably have $2 trillion leftover,” Carter told his congregation. “We’d
have high-speed railroad. We’d have bridges that aren’t collapsing, we’d have
roads that are maintained properly. Our education system would be as good as
that of say South Korea or Hong Kong.”
While there is a
prevalent belief in the United States that the country almost always wages war
for noble purposes and in defense of freedom, global public opinion and facts
paint a very different picture. Most countries surveyed in a 2013 WIN/Gallup
poll identified the United States as the greatest threat
to world peace, and a 2017 Pew Research poll found that a record number of people in 30 surveyed
nations viewed US power and influence as a “major threat.”
The US has also
invaded or bombed dozens of countries and supported nearly every single
right wing dictatorship in the world since the end of World War II. It
has overthrown or attempted to overthrow dozens of
foreign governments since 1949 and has actively sought to crush nearly every
single people’s liberation movement over that same period. It has also meddled in scores of elections, in countries that are
allies and adversaries alike.
