UK accuses Iran of aiding Iraqi Insurgents (moved from ATSNN)

A UK spokesman has said that Iran has been involved in some way in the deaths of eight British servicemen in and around Basra this year. Iran has denied any wrongdoing.



There are two ways to look at this, either its true and Iran needs to be punished for interfearing in another nations domestic affairs or it is an attempt to build up support for a strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.

I wouldnt be willing to call it either way, we simply have to watch this space.

we're off to war boys!

If we punish Iran for getting involved in Iraq, than we have to punish ourselves. Iran and Iraq are next to one another and due to this one Nation's domestic affairs are highly more important than Iraqi domestic affairs to the British.

If we take the line they have no right to get involved, neither did we and due to this we should leave straight away otherwise Iran has all the rights it wishes...

Watch as the British press starts putting the spin on the whole Basra state of affairs, doing their job helping Washington to demonize Iran. Until recently the 'foreign insurgents' were all coming out of Syria. Now they're suddenly all from or supported by Iran and Hezbollah.



Thanks for the spin, Mr. "Anonymous Official", but the anti-British protest in Basra was sparked by SAS spies posing as Iraqis with a car full of weapons shooting dead a couple of Iraqi policeman, and then being extracted by British army tanks.

More spin:


How about the arrest of the two "undercover soldiers" (whatever that means) was triggered by the fact that they were pretending to be Iraqis and shot and killed Iraqi policemen, and that a growing portion of the Iraqi populace suspect the coalition of carrying out false flag operations to incite civil war and unrest? Hmmm...




More "anonymous officials". They sure get around don't they. I love the Newspeak where "spies" become "undercover soldiers", like this is some drug sting or something.

I used to think the British press were inoculated against this disease that is spreading through our media, but more and more it appears I was wrong. Winston Smith is doing his job well, but some of us still remember...

I do have to laugh at this situation. Yes the Iranians are supplying weapons to insurgents into Iraq, but what the media doesn't tell you is that we are doing exactely the same thing, i.e. training anti Iranian groups in Iraq. Where do people think we are getting our intelligence from on the Iranian Nuclear program?

All's fair in love and war. Too bad the BBC/ITV/Channel 4/ Channel 5 ect don't have the balls to do any real objective reporting. Sweet zombie Jesus I hate the media in this country today. What a load of dumbed down rubbish.

Are you referring to Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK or MKO)? They will say anything that Washington wants them to say. In fact, Washington don't even have to talk to them, they can simply release propaganda statements about Iran's nuclear program as they please and say that the intel came from MEK.

I know the politicians in question will just come out and say these things, after all this is the war they wanted! We are supporting anit Iranian groups, they are supporting anti coalition groups. Both moves are designed to keep up the pressure at the time where tensions remain high over the Iranian nuclear program.

Additionally, until I see hard physical evidence of Iranian shaped charges I am inclined to be sceptical over the claims of an un-names British official.....

Attention on the SET ATTENTION ON THE SET:

Okay We are going to shoot the "Building a case" scene annnnnnd cue the British Press..
