Official narrative
They've got "nuclear weapons"... err, maybe.
History
- Full article:
Iran/1953 coup d'état
- Full article:
Planned since at least 1951, a coup d'état was carried out in Iran in 1953 against the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was organised by the Seven Sisters and then carried out by a small group within MI6 and the CIA.[1], motivated primarily by the huge profits of extracting Iranian oil.
CIA/Deep State operative Frank Terpil admits working for the Iranian government.[2]
Fossil fuel reserves
Iran has the 4th largest oil reserve and the 2nd largest gas reserves of any nation state, about 16% of total global reserves.[3]
2001 invasion plans
Iran was on a list of seven countries which retired 4-star general Wesley Clark (former supreme commander of NATO forces in Europe 1997-2001) stated the US military had plans to invade:
In 2001, in the Pentagon, a general told me : ‘I just received a classified memo from the Secretary of Defense: we will take seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finally, Iran.’[4]
Drug Trafficking
Andrei Fursov has reported that groups in Iran are involved in international drug trafficking which threatens the profits of globally orgainsed and US deep state groups. He stated in 2014 that "Cocaine is transferred to Sierra Leone, where it is exchanged for diamonds. With the diamonds they purchase arms. This triangle - Hezbollah, Syria, Iran - gets in the way of the Americans. They take the view, correctly, that eliminating Syria as an Arab partner of Iran, whether relations with Iran are good or bad, Iran will be weaker, and it will be easier to get an agreement with them. The removal of the Assad regime therefore became objective No.1 for the Americans. Likewise for Saudi Arabia and Israel."[5]
Unconditional basic income
Iran was the first country to introduce an unconditional basic income. Since Autumn 2010 it has paid an income to all citizens and replace the decades long system of subsidies of petrol, fuel and other supplies. In 2012, the sum corresponded to about 40 U.S. dollars per person per month.

| Ziad Abdelnour | “Iran? We will not let Iran become a nuclear power. We'll find a way, we'll find an excuse- to get rid of Iran. And I don't care what the excuse is. There is no room for rogue states in the world. Whether we lie about it, or invent something, or we don't... I don't care. The end justifies the means. What's right? Might is right, might is right. That's it. Might is right...” | Ziad Abdelnour | 18 November 2005 |
