(3,829 posts)We are the ones that are already guilty of what they claim Iran is doing and may do in the future.
Iran hasn't attacked any other country that didn't attack it first in hundreds of years. These war-mongering Iran bashers are projecting.
The US is the main threat to World peace. The Iraq war is the worst crime committed so far this millennium. The US is threatening to possibly commit a worse crime against Iran. Iran will strongly defend itself. It is their right.
Iran has already been severely hurt by US foreign policy. The US overthrew their democracy in 1953. The US supported the Shah's torture program, which included skinning alive its victims. The US supported Saddam's unprovoked war against Iran, murdering 500,000 of Iran's citizens. The US is supporting a terrorist program against Iran. The US has sanctioned Iran for decades, etc.
Iran's nuclear program is the most closely watched nuclear program in the World. Our own intelligence agencies say that there is no evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. That's the official position of the US Government. Claims against Iran come from people with political motivations.
