Hillary Clinton, current Secretary of State, said according to this article, “that a nuclear armed Iran or a conflict over its ambitions would both destabilize the region.” She also said that a nuclear Iran would trigger an arms race in the region.”
First, there is no credible evidence that Iran is pursuing the building of a nuclear weapon. Personally, I would think it very foolish for Iran not to be building nuclear weapons, if only to deter the unwarranted aggressive threats of attack from the U.S. and Israel. Prudence requires that any country have the ability to protect itself from aggressive attack, and Iran is being constantly threatened by two nuclear powers; the United States and Israel. In fact, the U.S. has perpetrated many acts of war against Iran, including brutal economic sanctions.
Clinton might be correct in that should Iran have nuclear weapon capability, others in that region might follow suit. And again, why wouldn’t they given the risks they face due to U.S. wars in that region?
Clinton didn’t mention that the destabilization of that region is already in place, not due to Iran’s so-called capability to build nuclear weapons, but due strictly to U.S. aggression and imperialistic hegemony. She also didn’t mention that any arms race in that region would not be so much a localized threat, but would be a major deterrent to the U.S. government’s ability to war against innocent nations in order to affect regime change. That regime change desired is meant to allow full control by the U.S. due to the installation of puppet governments.
Clinton’s word’s ring hollow, and her obvious hypocrisy is evident. All that she says about the dangers of Iran are actually what the U.S. is purposely bringing about. War, regime change, the murder of innocents, and destabilization in the Middle East are caused by U.S. intervention, not any aggression committed by Iran itself.
Considering Clinton’s statements, the truth has been sacrificed for propaganda, and that propaganda is meant to set the stage for more unwarranted and unholy war. Clinton is simply another mouthpiece, a dangerous one I might add, for the imperial state of America. She should be marginalized at every opportunity!
