Finian Cunningham: War Plan Iran, Dispelling the Lies!

The first in our new series deals with the rising tensions in the Persian Gulf between the West and Iran, and what appears to be a collision course for war. We examine the heart of the matter in order to empower our readers with knowledge and truth about what is really happening in the region and why, and, more important, what is at stake. The year 2012 may become as a watershed for humanity, the year when mankind was precipitated into a global conflagration involving nuclear weapons, The signs are indeed grimly ominous as formidable military forces converge on the Persian Gulf in the long-running stand-off between the United States and Iran. On side with the US are its European allies in NATO, primarily Britain, Washington's Middle East client states: Israel and the Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf, all bristling with weapons of mass destruction. Recent naval exercises by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz have also displayed a fierce arsenal of missiles and military capability, and Iran has strategic alliances with Russia and China, both of whom will not stand idly by if their Persian partner is attacked. As we have consistently analyzed on Global Research, the conflict between the US-led powers and Iran has wider ramifications. It is part and parcel of Washington's bid to engineer the social and political upheavals across the Arab World in order to redraw the region in its strategic interests. It is no coincidence that fresh from NATO's conquest of, and regime change in Libya, the focus has quickly shifted to Syria, a key regional ally of Iran.
