US Sponsored Terrorist Activity to Overthrow Iran's Government

Iran has recently captured an individual which it claims was working for the group Jundallah. The US government supposedly funds Jundallah, provides weapons, and assists with logistical management. While, this could just be the Iranian government cooking up a story for propaganda sake, there is a good bit of evidence that supports this claim.

US sponsors terrorists to overthrow Iran’s government again? Evidence suggests it’s true

1. Jundallah’s history of assassinations is not refuted, yet the US does not list this group as “terrorist.” This is a curious omission.

2. The US passed the “Iran Freedom and Support Act” in 2006 to fund groups working to overthrow Iran’s government.

3. Iran has claimed in the past that they arrested members of such groups who confess to US government funding and logistical support.

4. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, who broke the Mai Lai massacre story in Vietnam and Abu Ghraib torture scandal in Iraq, reports that the US dedicated $400 million to militant groups to overthrow Iran’s government, including Jundallah.

5. US sponsorship of Jundallah has been confirmed and reported by Brian Ross of ABC News and the London Daily Telegraph.

6. The US Voice of America (VoA) televised a phone interview with Mr. Rigi, introducing him as "leader of the Iranian people's resistance movement” rather than a wanted terrorist for the complicity in killing over 50 people in various acts of terrorism and assassination.

7. Most importantly, the history of the US with Iran’s government is the most likely predictor of the nature of present actions. The US overthrew Iran’s democratically-elected government in CIA Operation Ajax in 1953; installing the vicious and US-compliant dictator Shah Pahlavi who crushed democracy until he was deposed in 1979. The purpose of the US unlawful overthrow was Iran’s request to renegotiate existing oil contracts that provided Iran with only 15% of the profits.

8. More history contextualizes the present: Iran refused US dictatorship in 1979; the US responded by supporting Iraq’s unlawful War of Aggression and invasion of Iran from 1980 to 1988. The US provided loans, intelligence, the US Navy destroyed Iranian oil platforms, and the US gave political approval of this grossly unlawful attack in the UN Security Council.

9. For immediate history that extends into the present: US political “leaders” and colluding corporate media lie (yes, absolute lie is the accurate explanation) that Iranian President Ahmadinejad ever physically threatened Israel. This contrivance is the same kind of lying propaganda that preceded US unlawful attack on Iraq.

10. Official US policy allows first-strike use of nuclear weapons against countries that could possibly threaten the US and/or our allies in the future. This policy is tailored to fit the above lying rhetoric of Iran threatening Israel.

11. The US lies that Iran’s lawful and verified nuclear energy and medicine program is a threat of being a nuclear weapons program. This is a “Big Lie” of Orwellian degree. The US takes all available evidence and constructs rhetoric in complete contradiction, and with no supporting evidence.

12. We know now that all claims to support war with Iraq were not only false, but known to be false at the time they were told.

13. US overthrow of democracies and any other form of government has a long history.

14. And remember, a US claim that Iran attacked the US is probably a false flag attack; an attack by the US to kill Americans to justify US attack on Iran.

15. US corporate media has been and is now infiltrated by hundreds of government assets to propagandize Americans to support US war policies. These programs have been exposed numerous times, including in official US Congress reports.

In addition to this, I dug up a Senate Bill the other day that promoted replacing Iran's government with a democracy. A little too convenient to me.

Do what you gotta do...

The U.S, and many other countries including Canada, have been doing this for year, and rather successfully I can imagine. This fool just got caught....

Don't you remember the double-agent Doctor who blew himself up while meeting with American and Canadian commanders in Afghanistan?

I just think it is hypocritical to condemn Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism while we do the exact same thing.

Granted, Iran seems to be a bad cookie but does it make it ok to use unsavory methods to solve the problem?

Yes of course the United States (as well as many other countries for that matter) are trying to overthrow the government of Iran. I guess I just thought that was common sense after the election crisis there.

The fact is quite simple that Iran has lied about its nuclear weapons program, they are building a bomb and that is incredibly dangerous. It is logical that the US and other nations would rather have a moderate government come to power there over a potential military showdown.

To be quite honest, I'd be upset if the United States was not trying to overthrow the Iranian government!

It seems that the US would turn to dirty tactics such as this.

Fighting terror, yet sponsoring it. Something just doesnt add up here.

As I see, personally, the US has a Terror Organization. The one that assassinates people over the truth, the one that has unmarked military vehicles.

wow, this is really messed up. I suspected this but never could pinpoint anything.
