Saying so turns truth on its head. For decades, Iran sought normalized Western relations. Rebuff and betrayal followed. Lawless sanctions are imposed.
Saber rattling threatens war. Bellicose red lines, deadlines, timelines, subversion, targeted assassinations, other disruptive actions follow. Media scoundrel vilification and fearmongering regurgitate official lies.
Iran's got just cause for concern. Singh advocates increased US pressure. He urges support from key allies. He wants no letup in Washington's demands.
He wants "military action" if other ways fail. He wants Iran prevented from "stall(ing) for time." Failure to resolve things Washington's way assures "another way station on the route to war," he says.
He's actively promoting it. The Times and other US scoundrel media barely stop short. On February 6, The Times headlined "US Increases Pressure of Economic War on Tehran."
Doing so won't defuse crisis conditions. Washington's nuclear deal has been on the table for months. It was proposed to be rejected.
It demands Iran cease doing what's entirely legal. NPT provisions aren't compromised. Claiming otherwise is false. Insisting it relinquish rights afforded dozens of other nuclear powered nations oversteps.
Washington insists anyway. So does Israel. Key Western countries go along. Doing so subverts their own interests. Iran has every right to reject illegitimate demands. Doing less would be irresponsible.
