Yassamine Mather in an article published in the Weekly Worker (25 Oct 07) deals with the growing threat of war against Iran. She also analyses developments amongst the Kurds and highlights how the Iraqi PUK are betraying other Kurds. If anyone is in any doubt about the level of the threat of war against Iran, I suggest they read the text of a speech by Tony Blair comparing “Iran’s extremism” to “rising fascism in the 1920s and 1930s” (Times Oct 19). Quiet clearly Blair has spent so much time in Israel that he repeats like a parrot the most stupid utterances of Israeli politicians - all this in line with the US administration’s plans for possible military attack against Iran and paving the way for more extensive sanctions. Worst of all for Iran’s leaders, Russian president Vladimir Putin, in Tehran for talks with the theocratic regime gave a stark warning that Russia will not oppose further sanctions and military strikes against Iran, unless it stopped its enrichment of nuclear-grade uranium. read full story / add a comment

Peter symonds reflects on the decision of the Bush Regime to brand the iranian Revolutionary Guards as a weapons proliferator and a supporter of terrorism. Who says irony is dead when the Bushistas come out with this kind of guff? Peter symonds also deals with the heightening tensions regarding nuclear power in Iran. The Bush administration’s unprecedented decision last week to brand the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a weapons proliferator and its Quds Force as a “supporter of terrorism” has heightened tensions with Tehran and undermined European efforts at negotiations, setting the stage for a US attack on Iran. While the White House still claims to be seeking a diplomatic solution to the current confrontation, a series of media articles have noted Washington’s increasingly bellicose rhetoric and warned that the US appears to have decided on military action against Iran. read full story / add a comment

In today's Guardian, John Pilger flagellates the hypocrisy of the West when it comes to Burma : Condoleezza Rice comes to mind. "The United States," she said, "is determined to keep an international focus on the travesty that is taking place in Burma." What she is less keen to keep a focus on is that the huge American company, Chevron, on whose board of directors she sat, is part of a consortium with the junta and the French company, Total, that operates in Burma's offshore oilfields. The gas from these fields is exported through a pipeline that was built with forced labour and whose construction involved Halliburton, of which Vice-President Cheney was chief executive". read full story / add a comment
