Blair Retracts Threat Against Iran as British Terror Links Revealed
Whilst the beleaguered unelected British Prime Minister, Tony Blair's anti-Iranian rhetoric has only served to further weaken his position amongst the Parliamentary Labour Party and further isolate him from the national will. the British public are overwhelming opposed to any war with Iran.
Following, the democratically elected Iranian President's echoing of Imam Khomeini's (ra) 1979 call for "The Qods occupying regime must be eliminated from the surface of earth", the British Prime Minister condemned the Iranian President's anti Judeo-Facists comments and went on to accuse Iran of threatening international stability and supporting terrorism, he suggested that Iran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapons capability, an allegation that has been discredited by the IAEA's report.
So bellicose were Blair's remarks, that one of his own backbenchers demanded assurance as Prime Minister Question Time that military aggression against Iran was on the agenda. Blair was forced into a humiliating climb down: "First of all I did not talk either explicitly or implicitly about military threat to Iran but what I did say was this. Iran has to realise that the international community cannot tolerate continuing conduct that supporting terrorism round the world, frankly."
However, the Blairite regime has, despite repeated parliamentary and journalist requests, failed to produce any evidence of Iranian involvement in insurgent attacks on British forces in Iraq or give a credible reason why such allegations were made.
The British government was further humiliated when the President of Iraq's Kurdistan region Massoud Barzani attends a conference in London on 1st November, 2005, where he stressed there is no evidence of Iran's involvement in Iraq's unrest.
In another development further proof of British and American co-ordination of anti-Shia terrorist attacks was provided by 13 repentant members of the internationally proscribed terrorist group Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) who returned home to Iran from Iraq on Wednesday with assistance from world rescue institutions. The returnees had requested the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to facilitate their return to Iran.
The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has announced that all repentant members of the terrorist group can return to the country and live ordinary lives, so long as they renounce terrorist activities. The families of the thirteen former MKO terrorist were reunited at Mehrabad International Airport, and were allowed to visit them in their hospitals were they were undergoing medical checks on their health.
IRNA reported, "some of the returnees expressed grave concern over the fate of other repentant MKO members who have not yet left Iraq. According to them, except for a limited number of terrorists acting in Iraq as US spies, intelligence agents and/or subversives, the majority of MKO members have expressed the desire to return to Iran. "
"A former commander of the `Liberation Army', the military wing of the MKO, speaking to news agencies in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, on Tuesday said, "Nothing is known as to the whereabouts of 250 members of the MKO who have expressed the desire to leave Iraq and to return to Iran. "They are likely to have been detained at the MKO houses of detention in Iraq or delivered to the US and British troops for terrorist acts inside and outside Iraq or killed"
