Canadian sanctions against Iran – what’s the justification?
Canada announces new sanctions against Iran www.ndtv.com | December 11, 2012
“Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird announced more sanctions against Iran on Tuesday [Dec. 11]….
“The move is part of an apparent coordinated effort by Western governments to isolate Iran in the absence of further multilateral UN sanctions.
“Western powers have demanded that Iran suspend its uranium enrichment program…
“Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and solely for civilian energy purposes.”

“No Shred of Evidence”, Iran Building Nukes, Ex Head of IAEA Says By Sherwood Ross, Global Research | June 2, 2011
“The former Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) said in a new published report that he had not seen “a shred of evidence” that Iran was “building nuclear-weapons facilities and using enriched materials.”…”
“El Baradei’s remarks are contained in an article by Hersh titled “Iran And The Bomb,” published in the June 6th issue of The New Yorker magazine.
“Hersh points out that the last two U.S. National Intelligence Estimates (N.I.E.s) on Iranian nuclear progress “have stated that there is no conclusive evidence that Iran has made any effort to build the bomb since 2003.”…”
“Going beyond these spy activities, two Iranian nuclear scientists last year were assassinated and Hersh says it is widely believed in Tehran that the killers were either American or Israeli agents….”
“Hersh quotes one of Pickering’s colleagues as saying if Obama were to grant a meeting, Pickering would tell him: “Get off your no-enrichment policy, which is getting you nowhere. Stop your covert activities. Give the Iranians a sign that you’re not pursuing regime change. Instead, the Iranians see continued threats, sanctions, and covert operations.”…”
Did you notice the part about assassination and “covert operations”? Do you realize what the West has been doing for years now? The lying media doesn’t mention it much at all.
All the aggression is one-sided at present and coming from the West. It’s all planned (see the links on PNAC, Clean Break and Wesley Clark).

IAEA: Leaked Iranian graph on nuclear weapons is flawed, but supports suspicions that Tehran’s vying for a bomb www.timesofisrael.com | December 1, 2012
Some inaccurate rough diagrams are portrayed as evidence. It seems like very weak “evidence”, like more of the same kind of propaganda they used against Iraq before destroying that country.
In fact, this graph with a huge mathematical flaw in it could just be adapted off one that’s freely available on the Internet, according to nuclear specialists consulted in the following article:
Iranian Bomb Graph Appears Adapted from One on Internet by Gareth Porter, antiwar.com | December 14, 2012
If it is just a forgery, it’s just the same old disgusting propaganda used to start every war.
Regardless, aggressive or preemptive war – including sanctions – is unjustified as far as morality is concerned.
If the elites wanted peace with Iran, they would work out some treaty that allows everyone to live in peace.
I don’t agree with the aggressive war-mongering sanctions and wars. I don’t agree with the torture. I don’t agree with the global police state. I don’t want to hear any more disgusting lies.
People don’t need any more wars.
