Americans Engaging In War With Iran Would Be An Unwarranted Show Of Imperialist Oppression.

The country once known as Persia, changed it's name to Iran in 1935. The people of Iran nationalized their oil supply in the seventies, and in a obscene tour de force, America executed a coup d'etat and installed a dictator known as "The Shah".The government changed from a dictatorship to an Islamic republic in 1979 following the ousting of the American installed Shah. Troops of the puppet government opened fire on anti-government protestors for three straight days. The Shah fled to America, and immediately following this incident, students stormed the American embassy, holding fifty-two hostages. They demanded that The Shah return to Iran and pay for his crimes against the Iranian people. Anti-Iranian sentiment began to take hold in America, as the hostage situation lasted for 14 months before the hostages were returned. 1n 1986, Ronald Reagan initiated The Contra Gate. In exchange for more American hostages, he sold Iran 2000 anti-tank missiles, to raise secret money for a the contras. The contras were a proxy war waged against communists in Nicaragua. It was deemed a scandal because he sold weapons to a country considered an enemy at the time, and because he lied several times to the American public before it was exposed. Specifically, this happened during an 8 year long bloody war Iran was having with neighboring Iraq, an American backed Dictatorship. Iran also endured a series of chemical weapon attack from the U.S. backed Iraq during the 8 year conflict. Iran had suffered a war with a neighboring nation, and victim of US occupation, Iraq; a war funded on both sides by The United States. Iran has developed a world-wide image as a nuclear rogue and pariah. This country has gotten flack for signing but failing to ratify the CBNT, or Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty in 1996. Israel and The United States are guilty of the same crime. Much of the international stigma pertaining to Iran's nuclear program stems from their lack of compromise with the IAEA, or the International Atomic Energy Agency.The primary treaty they are being penalized for failing to obey, is the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty, or the NPT. The claim pertains, Iran is trying to develop a Nuclear Fuel Cycle. This technology is used for energy, but can be used to used to develop weapons. Iran claims they are not making weapons. In February 2006, the USNC, or United Nations Security Council started conducting investigations. Iran maintained the appearance of cooperative, allowing IAEA inspectors to view a plethora of files and documentation. In 2006, it was uncovered, that Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States were plotting to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, in a series of air strikes. The UNSC finally stated, that Iran must suspend nuclear enrichment. Iran defied them, and more compromises followed. The case of an unstable fundamentalist nation obtaining nuclear warheads is not unheard of prior to Iran. Pakistan is Iran's neighbor to the east, and conditions are very similar. Pakistan has harbored and trained the Majihadeen, another known terrorist group idiosyncratic with Taliban. All this yet, they have still acquired WMDs, because their location is of great strategic importance. The CIA sold them the weapons in the 1980's, in a cold-war bid, to threaten invading Russian forces in neighboring Afghanistan; another amazing foreign policy move under the Reagan Administration. After the Soviets left Afghanistan, the aid and weapons flow to Pakistan disappeared completely, leaving a third world country, constantly on the brink of war with India, with nuclear weapons. Another fundamentalist country, notable for it's nuke button trigger finger, is Israel. Israel is a platform for western interest enforcement in the middle east. Israel shows aggression towards all Arab countries, being a Jewish occupation in a sea of Arab countries. Iran shows solidarity towards the Palestinian people who are currently being pushed off their land and massacred by the Zionist movement. Israel claims Iran funds Hezbollah, a terrorist group neighboring them to the north, in Lebanon. They also are proponents of bombing Iran into oblivion. Surprisingly though, revealed through the Wikileaks cablegate whistleblower scandal, many arab nations also expressed desires, to the U.S., to engage Iran, in active military conflict. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, amongst other Arab leaders, urged a strike to end the nuclear program.One reason Israel seems so poised to strike Iran, has also been exposed. Israel seeks to maintain nuclear monopoly in the Middle East. It has expressed time and time again that it wants to "shoot the fair" with Iran, without any help from America or Europe.This comes as a revelation, because prior to the WikiLeaks exposï¿½, Israel was thought to avoid confrontation without their big brother, America . Still avoiding engagement, Israel's Mossaud, are being accused of assassinating Iran's nuclear scientists to put an end to the nuclear program .This is a very acrimonious claim, and would convict Israel of international terrorism. More recently, U.S. intelligence claims to have uncovered an assassination plot of theatrical epicness. Allegedly, Iranian officials backed a Mexican drug cartel to bomb a Saudi-American ambassador, and Vice President Joe Lieberman, amongst others, in a Washington D.C. Restaurant. Iranians claim this is nothing more than American propaganda and fabrication, to elicit their own citizens into a war for other special interests; a strikingly similar to conditions that started the Iraq war quagmire. America, The United Kingdom, and Israel are also pushing to put economic strains on Iran. They're imposing sanctions and embargoes. Russia and China, two superpowers, still sore from America's cold war antics, are strongly advising against it; both being Iran's largest economic partners.They claim that Iran is only acquiring these materials and information, solely to protect itself. Other dissenting national voices are saying that American influence completely controls the IAEA. This idea regards the fact that IAEA chairman, Mohamed ElBaradei, retired in 2009. He was replaced by Yukiya Amano. Wikileaks has also exposed that this man is impartial, learning towards western interests. It is also claimed that the IAEA is biased, because a majority of their reports are an amalgamation of U.S. and Israeli information. These countries being Iran's primary foes when it comes to their nuclear program in the first place; not a fair truly international institution. In November 2011, The British embassy in Iran was stormed by Iranian students. The students took over the building, and the Iranian government turned a blind eye. Speculation drew comparisons to the 1979 embassy storming and kidnappings. Also more recently than that, in December, Iran shot down an unmanned American drone plane over their own soil, leading to implications that the United States is Illegally spying on Iran, a claim long held without physical proof, until now. The drone was in place because the UNSC is finally claiming that Iran is constructing an atom bomb. With these claims, in addition to the assassination plot, embassy storming, and destruction of a US drone, we draw ever closer to an active military engagement in Iran. Which could spell catastrophe for a coalition of soldiers stilled muddied from occupying two of Iran's closest neighbors, Iraq and Afghanistan. It is my claim, that this war can only exhaust our economy more, and can only threaten to further polarize the superpowers of the world. It may even bring about Armageddon as we know it. The American public is vastly under educated about Iran, yet over-opinionated. Most Americans, form their opinion, regurgitating what ever they hear from news anchors and pundits. War with Iran could most definitely effect your way of life, and possibly end it shortly. Sources are posted in the comments section.
