Iran has exposed itself as not being against imperialism, per se. Their support of the US invasion of Afghanistan is further proof. I dont believe that theyre puppets of the US though. I think that theyre regional imperialists who look out for their interests. If agreeing with US imperialism helps them theyll agree to it.
Iran is Allied with Israel helping them invading Muslims countries then it is inconceivable to even think that their partners will attack them. USA built the nuke plant in Iran and Israel destroyed the nuke plant of Iraq. Iran has to play this anti Israel game in order to deceive the Muslims. This is a unique enemy Muslims have ever faced! The Muslims identify the west as their enemy but failed to Identify Iran as an enemy! Thats brilliant disguise and a best tool for Israel to do war by proxy!!
"O you who have faith (in Allah) do not take (such) Jews and (such) Christians as your friends and allies who themselves are friends and allies of each other. And whoever from amongst you turns to them (for friendship and alliance) now belong to them (and not to us). Surely Allah does not guide a wicked people."
Iran is allied with Israel/USA/NATO! we have seen it in Iraq and Afghanistan invasion and now Libya. Either you have to be with the Muslims or with the terrorist
Aside from the MSM (of which A-Jazz, RT, PressTV are) PressTV looks so jilted after this support for the Rebels. They must necessarily know the stakes of hyper-schizoid support. Does it reflect Irans support for the Clash of Civs thesis? Or does it represent Irans own form of hegemoney in the region? Whatever the case, its clear they're not playing the fraternal-Mulsim card if Hizbollah and co are involved. Ghaddafi is probably despised by the Ayatollah for his socialist synthesis.
Well Morris, I was thinking exactly the same thing for quite some time now, and I reached the same conclusion: in watching the few countries that don't support this massacre of civilians (Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, ALBA countries), you are able to know without doubt which of the world's countries are really free and have nothing to do with the global conspiracy against REAL freedom (such as the Libyan's under Gaddafi). Iran is just playing their game.their anti-west stance is all a sharade thks
Well, PressTV joins with AlJazeera, I see. Their rotten reporting that is harmful to MOST Libyans is truly a criminal act, imo. To make occasional mistakes is one thing ; everyone does. But for news media to repeatedly emit or broadcast falsehoods that have been proven to be false is criminal ; minimally, criminal negligence, given what journalistic ethics say about how journalism is to be performed, like with honesty and investigations for ascertaining what the truth is, f.e.
Galloway is an asset of the british empire. Im not sure what the iranian plan is, they may actually hope that NATO will be stuck in Libya for a long time, preventing any assault on Syria and Iran. If the green movement actually win this war and take back their country, one could argue that the plan worked. I dont know, just a silly thought I suppose...
I was trying to figure out months ago why Ahmadinejad wasn't supporting Gaddafi. Nearest I could figure, it's because he's not a "proper" Muslim. But no doubt there are also deep political machinations involving the "great game" as well as the "great work", for that matter.
The reasons are often trivial by western standards! Iranians and Lebanese shia blame Gaddafi for the killing of an influential cleric called Moussa el Sadr during a visit to Libya (1978) because el Sadr accused Gaddafi knew little about Islam.
Qaddafi denied any involvement in the disappearance of El Sadr and said that he left for Italy after visiting Libya.
This is the sorry state of Middles eastern politics.. treachery, religious bigotry, old feuds and total incompetence
This war on Libya has been an education for me.... Middle eastern politics are now an "open book" for all those who care to read it, it reveals the deep divisions but also the similarities between countries such as Turkey and Iran..... their stance on Libya has been nothing short of treacherous!..
Turkey is motivated by opportunism and self interest but Iran's stance appears shortsighted and may backfire against the regime who has clearly lost many sympathizers.
Do you really think Press-TV is sending NATO-propaganda about Lybia just because of (Gaddafi) killing one influential cleric? Is this really so important in this hard times?
NATO/USA killed many nuclear-scientists, they spread mass-propaganda over the last years with false quotes and they also tried to do a fake-revolution in iran. iran is also int. isolated...that´s hardcore warfare in my mind...so why is Press-TV repeating the NATO-USA-propaganda?
there's more to it but it explains their attitude to Gaddafi, especially since Hezbollah who's a close ally of Iran have never forgotten about Moussa el Sadr who to them wasn't just a Cleric but the leader of the Shia in Lebanon who now constitute now the Majority in Lebanon.
There are also few other reasons like Supporting Arab revolutions and hopping for Islamic states, the new relations with some of the Gulf states who are supporting the war, and maybe even a deal with USA?
I did notice the negativity from Presstv early on & I was surprised, considering the lies the west tells about Iran. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still has my respect. If he falls out with the religious clerics it would not do Iran any good. They are maybe playing with the west by singing the MSM tune whatever the reason it is dark.
The Iran, Libya fall out goes back to 1978. A top religious Cleric from Iran went missing in Libya after an alleged fall out with Muʿammar al-Qaḏḏāfī. He was never found again, the whole thing stunk of CIA. The Iranian people have never forgiven Libya. Religion in Iran is dominated by the Twelver Shia branch of Islam, which is the official state religion. The vast majority of Libyan Muslims adhere to Sunni Islam. This is also a big deal with the two countries.
TEHRAN – An official at the Iranian Foreign Ministry has said that pursuing the case of Imam Musa al-Sadr, an Iranian-born Shia cleric who vanished without a trace in Libya in 1978, is high on the agenda of relations between Tehran and Tripoli.
I've heard that Press TV is not exactly as Iranian as it seems, a little bit more like a scokpuppet, think al-Jazeera. However I am having similar concerns sometimes about Iran and where it's leadership seems to be headed. I think Ahmadi Nejad shows he is on the right side with his campaign to keep 9/11 and the questions around Palestine and the Jewish Holocaust [TM] but that is not the real power in Iran speaking. There seems to be a degree of mutual benefit between them and the US.
@GrassPossum i have thought about it - israel and iran have very similar interests despite differences in religion. whilst israel wants to expand geographically into the arab countries, iran has no such ambitions but rather wants to exert its political and religious influence. ive been told that presstv is designed so that it targets the sunni population and the rest but really the religious ayatollahs in iran have said on multiple times that taliban are us agents, which i refuse to believe
@GrassPossum also iran's president has no say on the country;s external policies -these decisions like with ayatollah khamanei. also iran is just paying lip service - have they given the palestinian any weapons to fight the israelis? no they havent they just provide lip service - unlike saddam hussein and gaddafi to a small extent gave the weapons for palestinians to fight the jews. im not sure about gaddafi but definitely saddam despite the fact that iraq was under UN sanction
In my mind the Taliban are US-agents (most/some of them) - don´t you know that the USA supported them against the soviets?
Instead of this i´m really confused...so do you really think that iran is in reality down with the usa and israel, or should i say the nwo? the old hegel-dialect-tactic? but why they allways attacking iran since years with propaganda, false quotes and fake-green-revolutions?
it´s geopolitical chess...maybe press tc is sontrolled by the nwo...
@plasticdigger taliban might have been us agent but what about saddam - was he a us agent? hang on - a fake saddam was on trial - check the underbite on his teeth - it is claimed the real saddam died in 1999 according to an iranian exile doctor - i know the one on broadway trial was a fake. i cant say iran is allies with usa but iran and israel have very similar interests - according to zakah1 iran, hezbollah, syria and israel are allies but im not sure about zakah1 - could be a disinformation
Try doing some qualitative reading at globalresearch[dot]ca, as well as other truly recommendable websites that treat the topic of wars in the Middle East, including Israel's wars on the Lebanese and Palestinians, with, of course, assurance that Washington always protects Israel from required legal actions that Washington constantly blocks or vetos.
Hamas also isn't allied with Israel or DC, in case you read otherwise.
@mikecorbeil this is not according to me this is according to zakah1 - youtube dot com / zakah1
he mentions in 1982 when the israelis came to lebanon, the shiites welcomed them and the shiites helped the israelis massacred palestinian refugees in sabra and shatilla - when the amal organization was exposed as helping the zionists, they pretended to have a war with a fellow shiite faction called hezbollah and hezbollah won - that is according to him (zakah1) and not me - please read the massacres
@mikecorbeil also look at hamas - it may not be allies with israel but its existence provides israel the perfect opportunity to continue its military operation in palestine and its continual perpetual human rights violation in palestine. israel actually wants hamas to exist because (1) its good reason for conscription in israel (2) it allows israel a good opportunity to military incursion in palestine. now who arms the palestinians? iran? no they just provide lip service
@amiehouriganisaslut wrote : "also look at hamas - it may not be allies with israel but its existence provides israel the perfect opportunity to continue ..."
That's NO excuse for Israel's conduct, not whatsoever. So your argument is moot from the start, about Hamas, which never refuses to grant recognitiion for Israel being (criminally-established) state ; only, demanding that Israel give the same recognition for Palestine, which Israel, backed by Washington, crushes.
@mikecorbeil wrong! i am saying that the existence of hamas presents a perfect opportunity for israel to murder palestinian whilst creating fear and hatred amongst israelis - army service is compulsory in israel did u know. who gives weapons to hamas? they smuggle it through? iran doesnt give weapons to hamas they only pay lip service. saddam hussein did despite iraq being under un sanction. mubarak never allowed egypt to give weapons to hamas. u see why suicide bombbers occured in hamas
Israel would do what it's doing even if Hamas didn't exist, as long as there was Palestinian resistance to Israel and Washington. It was happening before Hamas was ever formed.
The crimes of Israel and Washington against Palestinians definitely aren't the fault of Hamas. Washington and Israel are responsible, not Hamas. And it's because Palestinians righteously resist, not due to Hamas, but rather human dignity.
And it's for Palestinians to decide who they elect ; NOT us.
@amiehouriganisaslut We can't tell Palestinians who to elect. USA'ns don't have a real democracy and, therefore, have no example to give for democratic society and governance. So, USA'ns are hardly in any position to be able to preach about democracy, though we can certainly warn others to beware when it comes to promises of democracy, for they're usually unfulfilled in the USA. USA'ns can speak about the experience we have, but not what we haven't had. In the latter case, anyone can speak.
@amiehouriganisaslut wrote : "wrong! i am saying that the existence of hamas presents a perfect opportunity for israel to murder palestinian ..."
BULLSHIT. LEARN to take INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY and keep that concept or principle carefully in mind, ALWAYS. If Hamas didn't exist, then life would not be any better for Palestinians!
@amiehouriganisaslut Hamas does not commit "perpetual human rights" violations in Palestine or anywhere else. Whatever sources you use to get that bogus information, it's bogus. Read at globalresearch[dot]ca, Stephen Lendman, Electronic Intifada, and so on ; learn of what's really been going on. Sure, some Hamas members sometimes take measures a little too far, but consider what they're up against. Israel is the 3rd or 4th most powerful military force on Earth! Palestine, zero.
@mikecorbeil I know these websites a long time ago - uruknet dot info was created following iraq invasion - i use rense dot com globalresearch com atimes dot com thetruthseeker dot co dot uk mathaba dot net
@plasticdigger also are you saying the us is paying the taliban for them to attack us soldiers? give me a break - taliban are fiercely nationalistic movement islamic in nature - look at the history of afghanistan - afghanistan has never been conquered apart from alexander the great but he had difficulty in maintaining peace and stability - afghans are united and thats why they defeated the british 3 times and the soviets and they are serving it up to the yanks who are too fat to even fight
@amiehouriganisaslut The Taliban did not defeat the Russian forces. The mujahideen did. They're were composed of people who eventually became the Taliban. And they won probably because of Washington, the CIA and Pakistani ISI, having worked to arm, train and fund the mujahideen forces. Also, it was the US or Washington actions of illegitimate and efinitely unconstitution kind that provoked, basically forced, the USSR to invade Afghanistan. It was the fault of Washington.
@mikecorbeil yea it doesnt matter - the afghans are good resistors and their terrian provide a perfect ground for guerilla warfare - now whos helping the taliban? pakistan Isi? could be the russians want to help bring down the US empire because the US empire in afghanistan means encircling and watching over russia and china - afghans are nationalistic and the pashtun code of conduct says if you kill one, i will kill ten. and us forces have killed thousands of afghans which have brought anger
1. Iran supports militant groups in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Natural reaction to oppose Western interventionists at its doorstep.
2. Iran is fully aware that if the Gaddafi's regime goes under, Libya will fall into the hands of Islamic militants who, sooner or later, are going to clash with NATO and EU.
3. Gaddafi was cozying up to the West just before NATO invaded. Also a long history of collaboration between CIA, MI6 and Libya.
@AGWnot okay - you might be right but have you considered that iran are nato's allies secretly and that they pretend to create friction between iran and usa but they are secret allies? iran supported us troops in iraq through badr brigade and iran supported northern alliance against taliban. khatami ex iranian prez said that us wouldnt have invaded without irans help. now iran is backing libyas rebels and their official position is because moussa sadr disappeared in 1978 trip to tripoli
@AGWnot also iran wants to extend its political and religious influence. iran want to be seen as the superpower to the arab world that arab world will depend on - very similar to china. burma thailand vietnam, philippines, laos and pakistan view china as a superpower they could depend on. iran wants the same and once iran is viewed as superpower, they will try to convert sunnis to shiites - the dirty persians at work
@amiehouriganisaslut Why do you need to say "dirty persians"? You do know that Islam is against racism? You do know that many of the major Sunni scholars were Persians (Imam al-Bukhari, al-Muslim, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, al-Ghazali, al-Nishaburi, al-Tabari)? And stop worshipping Saddam, that man came to power thanks to the CIA, just like the CIA did a coup in Iran 1953, they did the same in Iraq 1963 and killed the Iraqi president and showed his dead bullet-ridden body on Iraqi tv.
@ProudSaracen no i didnt know that because im not a muslim - sorry for that - i do apologize - can you tell me the real difference between the sunnis and the shiites and the history and foundation of both sects of religion - im not worshipping saddam because the us used him just like us used ngo dinh diem of s vietnam, mubarak of egypt and ben ali of tunisia and now gaddafi of libya
@amiehouriganisaslut- So,what can be deduced from what we've both said? Is that international politics is deliberately shrouded, by governments and corporations, in layer upon layer of mystery with the express intention of keeping us dumbed down and nations constantly at war with one another. The only way around this is always to be anti-war (except in defense) because it makes economic and moral sense and the only ideology I know of, which is consistent with this philosophy, is Libertarianism.
@AGWnot i cant say that iran and us are allies but they have similar interests as well as israel. but according to zakah1 and thespeckofdust who have both youtube channels, zakah1 believes that syria, iran, hezbollah and israel are allies because they have allied themselves with the satanists, whereas the speckofdust believes that pakistan is on the next list because they are the only sunni muslim with nukes and usa wont tolerate that - i believe algeria might be next - we might be all wrong lol
@AGWnot gaddafi started cozying up to the west following 2003 us invasion of sovereign iraq and i dont know why the libyan govt started to give up its weapons of mass destruction programme - according to youtube dot com / zakah1 - gaddafi was trying to ally himself with the satanists but he was a complete embarassement so they had to get rid of him. real reason is probably he wanted to create the african diner as an alternative OPEC denominated currency and thats why libya was invaded
you, mr boss, are a sharp- witted fellow. I have found out about IRAN but a few weeks ago.
it is all clear now: iran is very strong, and the angloamerican empire does not like that. but there is a remedy: do you remember the 1st gulf war? well, maybe we can look at it from a different perspective now. who the real bad guys were. and it wasnt iraq, it seems to me now.
what I see is an attempt to play off iran against its neighbours in a new war of attrition. iran was never a friend of arabs.
Good that you noticed Iran are simply talk they are always working with the US in Iraq and Afghanistan against their common enemies such as the Gulf states that honestly the west do not like but put up with until their next.
@Zbyszkoz us wants to attack pakistan because pakistan is the only country to have nukes and they dont want muslims to have nukes. pakistan has pashtuns in it and its the pashtuns who are fighting against us soldiers in afghanistan - iran hasnt been declared as officially as having nukes but it could have it - pakistan govt has no control over the nukes and the isi has more control over nukes than paki govt and thats why usa is trying to find pretexts to invade pakistan. good bless pakistan
Pakistan may be having a moment of political clarity. I have been there a few times this year and am married to a Pakistani. There is a strong feeling of lost patience with recalcitrant two faced "friends" facing the current crop of tarnished, corrupt and US compromised leadership. The corrupt generals and politicians are starting to look more closely to Pakistan's interests, recognising the corrosive and cancerous effect of the US alliance.
@EverythinIsOk I understand, and do not want to use this forum for Iran bashing. Obviously the internal politics of Libya was the business of Iran, that is why their Sate news network Press TV has openly supported the war on Libya. It's just a little bit hypocritical. So yeah, Iran deserves to be aired out for that.
Iran just want a religious state, they don't really care who wins or what the ramification for assisting NATO to over though Gaddafi could be. That's just the type of Zealots they are.
@EverythinIsOk The Mullahs in Iran are not bloodthirsty dictators that have a history of executing or disappearing political opponents? Iran can't throw stones if you know what I mean.
thanks for the heads up... demoncracy now, al jazeera... now press tv... i just heard on the local radio in san francisco bay area... middle school kids in contra costa county that came school not vaccinated were bused FROM SCHOOL TO A LOCAL INEXPENSIVE CLINIC... and injected. this is getting very creepy... and it's not the law (yet) but establishment media... are spreading government propaganda and institutions are enforcing "bad medicine" as though it was actually law... ! WTF !
Didn't Iran support the Libyan rebels anyways? One of their commanders, I think Jalil, actually thanked Iran. Khamenei even called this an "Islamic" uprising, although now Muslim countries like Libya will be financially enslaved to the elite. No surprise there. Iran cannot be trusted at this point, cooperating with the beast...
The Iranian govt publically stated it would support the USA in its assault against Afghanistan. The Shia mentality is truly sick, and I believe iran would side with israel before it would side with any Sunni Muslims who are fighting western aggression.Turkey has turned out to be scum as well --along with Qatar, Saudi, Jordan -- in helping the west slaughter other Muslims.
I also loathe PressTV, AlJazeera, et al. Amy Goodman at democracynow makes me vomit. I was disgusted with all the PressTV reporters continually referring to the rats as revolutionaries, and supporting the NATO and western carnage in Libya. Morris and his youtube channel, Steve Lendman, Land Destroyer, Liby360, Mathaba, and a few other blogs are the only news sources of worth. Protest is pointless with the level of tyranny and love of bloodlust that exists in ALL so-called western democracies.
I gave up on PressTV, LinkTV and Al Jazeera I'll never make another donation to LinkTV with it's falsified coverage of the terror bombinof Libya by NATO. Amy Goodman, Juan Cole and Neo-Con members of the US Institute of Peace have no credibility.
Former Mississippi Governor and now US Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, along with Hillery Clinton and Susan Rice, have blood on their hands:The Butchers of Tripoli!
I think Iran is quite smart. Eventually Israel is going to attack them and don't think for one minute Iran's doesn't have some counterattack plans. In fact, 20,000 missiles aimed at Isreal even with conventional warheads can do big damage.
Blasting Isra Hell off the map would certainly cause the biggest party in the history of the world.
If you remember press tv was launched strategically just in time for the Gaza massacar by isreal. No news that tells it as it is will be allowed on air on enemy ground, thats obvious. Sadly even as we knew press tv was fake, we tolorated it anyway, like a desperatly hungry man is pleased with food he finds inside garbage.
No amount of news or information is going to help you out think the NWO, they are masters of that game, its also why thier defeat will come from a very simple solution.
When America was persuing genocidal sanctions against the Iraqi people after the first Gulf war, it is said that America acquired assistance from Iran to do this. I learnt this from the YT user Zakah1 who claims that Iran is the bad guy receiving Western support as it is Shia. Supporting Shia will upset Islamic unity as the latter are mostly Sunni.

good staff morris, iran is playing the game of the west, they never attack iran is just a propaganda, iran was helping the evil israli to invade irak and afghanistan, because of shiesme belief against suni
@MrGrimesessaid I can fully understand Ahmedinjejad siding with the west against Iraq, afterall Saddam was always attacking Iran and don't forget they had a 10 yr war against eachother in recent times. Saddam declared publicly many times that he wanted to destroy Iran, so i see no problem with him siding with the west in that case and we also don't know what Gaddafi and Iran's background is,there could be the same type of problem that Iran and Iraq had, we just don't know. Dangerous times
good work morris, presstv also reported the false claim that moussa ibrahim was captured. I also think it may have to do with the fact Libya was not as fanatical in its views on Islam perhaps, maybe they think Gaddafi was too liberal or a heretic, but their stance on this war has really left a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Iran.
PressTV and RT have played both sides of the fence. Iran should know they are the ultamate target in the Islamic world. The end game is geo-political dominance. With Russia contained China is the only real threat to the Anglo American establishment. China uses its wealth to gain favor here and their and my country is blatantly using force to prevent China's progress and thus maintain its stance as the power of this world. The US will dominate the South and ME with guns. Cash means nothing then.
We should call out another so called "progressive news outlet" democracynow for their coverage of Libya too. They even went as far as to report that there is no sign of nato bombing anywhere in the country. And they have been parroting everything from these rats since this illegal invasion started.
@dclark2198 That's so disappointing hear... I recall a young Amy Goodman being so proactive and vocal in exposing the genocide in East Timor. THAT was a large part of my awakening to these atrocities through proxies all over the world, disguised as liberation. It's a shame. I guess when you dance with the devil, the devil doesn't change... the devil changes you.
Presstv and russia today are all the same mass media nind control network. Max Kieser is all over Russia today and sounds more like a hysterical alex Jones--an economic commedian--shoving despair in your face and clowning about it. Get off all mass media--anything big is fake!
Hi Morris, there must have been something between Iran and Gaddafi in the past. But I don't agree with your analysis on Press.TV completely. They are the ones that have invited in people like Webster Tarpley, Lizzie Phelan, Sukant Chandan and other critical people in their interviews. They at least allowed other voices to be heard.
I watched Ahmedinejad's speech at the UN last week and it was a great anti-imperialistic speech for that. I don't think press.tv is that bad.
No , i agree with Morris. Except for those notable exceptions you mentioned. PressTV has for the most part been a mouthpiece for the Rebel Rats. Sad, but true.
Ironic, the fundamentalist Shi’ite Iranian gov’t has offered such antipathy towards non-fundamentalist Qaddaffi. I thought last night how Israel could use a Dolphin sub to sink a mid-size US Navy vessel escorting goods/weapons to the Bahrain royals and then blame it on a Qatir sub; that quick, US B-2’s would be raining down 15-ton GBU-57’s over Tehran and PressTV would be blocked by the same NATO news filters they supported.
I don't fully agree with you in that case, morris. You are right -- and we all know it -- that press tv named the rats as "revolutionaries" from the beginning till now. Well, I think that was there (false) hope!
But let us not forget, that they had Lizzie Phelan, that they have sometimes good commentators and that (at least I) we can't blame them for the same stile of media-terror like the deliberately misinformation in all the western MSM.
Not sticking together against outside aggression seems to be a curse for all of the middle eastern countries. Look at the relationship between Saudi Arabia/Iran and Iraq ect....and they way they gleefully kill their brothers for foreign interests An undivided the middle could easily be a superpower. That is why the other super powers and the NWO have always worked hard to divide and conquer this region. Press TV is un-informative and divisive.
@afferch arabs can be divided - because the french british jews ottomans ruled over them whereas afghanistan cannot be divided because pashtuns are united - why do you think afghanistan defeated the british in each of the 3 wars with the entire british army being wiped out in the first anglo-afghan war? why do you think the soviets were defeated? because the pashtuns are united whereas look at the arabs - the arab league is prostitute to us interests and never protect arab countries
@afferch yes - good to see a fellow youtuber agree with me - arab league allowed invasion of iraq through kuwait, arab league gave green light for gulf war one to begin, arab league pressured the UN into adopting UNSC 1973 against Libya and the arab league is prostitute to the us interests.
Oligarch team versus Serf team. No countries. No races. The oligarch team walks in each country as if they are from that country, but they are Oligarch. Folks might consider divide and conquer on all scales. If there were no ideologies that would the Oligarchs have us fight about? Race? Country? If those were seen as hilariously silly concepts what would we fight about? Then we could put the folks who still wanted to fight in a sealed room and let them fight, um...maybe that room is Earth?
Thanks for this one, it was about time that somebody mentioned this. It has been disturbing me for a long time. One small piece of the puzzle might be that the Libyans are Arabs and Irianians are Arians. And no, I do not mean that in the sense of Nazi ideologie.
I thought press tv was Americanised anyway. A lot of their articles are US main stream articles. I wonder what the regular papers in Iran are saying. You cannot get any news out of Iran other than Press tv.
very interesting, reminds me of Stratfor's (shadow CIA) director in an interview with RT, saying Iran will be an ally of the US against Rusia and China. Also I recall comments by Webster Tarpley that criticizes Iran attitude in the Libya situation, but he sees it as a naive move (more than a conspiracy) of Iran to avoid attacks by Nato in the near future and in the long run to become a part of the global empire.
I liked PressTV, it was my fav news channel until this illegal aggression colonization of Libya, PressTV lie & lie. I have stopped watching them. RussiaToday is the best channel shows the whole truth. They show the truth with Libya & Syria. Iran are foolish people they will be next 1 day. PressTV even had 1 of the best reporters in Libya. Lizzie Phelan..but when she came back from Libya, they didnt even interview her again after she told the truth! Morris get her on the show please! she is great
Iran has exposed itself as not being against imperialism, per se. Their support of the US invasion of Afghanistan is further proof. I dont believe that theyre puppets of the US though. I think that theyre regional imperialists who look out for their interests. If agreeing with US imperialism helps them theyll agree to it.

Well Morris, I was thinking exactly the same thing for quite some time now, and I reached the same conclusion: in watching the few countries that don't support this massacre of civilians (Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, ALBA countries), you are able to know without doubt which of the world's countries are really free and have nothing to do with the global conspiracy against REAL freedom (such as the Libyan's under Gaddafi). Iran is just playing their game.their anti-west stance is all a sharade thks

Galloway is an asset of the british empire. Im not sure what the iranian plan is, they may actually hope that NATO will be stuck in Libya for a long time, preventing any assault on Syria and Iran. If the green movement actually win this war and take back their country, one could argue that the plan worked. I dont know, just a silly thought I suppose...

I was trying to figure out months ago why Ahmadinejad wasn't supporting Gaddafi. Nearest I could figure, it's because he's not a "proper" Muslim. But no doubt there are also deep political machinations involving the "great game" as well as the "great work", for that matter.

@roell29
The reasons are often trivial by western standards! Iranians and Lebanese shia blame Gaddafi for the killing of an influential cleric called Moussa el Sadr during a visit to Libya (1978) because el Sadr accused Gaddafi knew little about Islam.
Qaddafi denied any involvement in the disappearance of El Sadr and said that he left for Italy after visiting Libya.

This war on Libya has been an education for me.... Middle eastern politics are now an "open book" for all those who care to read it, it reveals the deep divisions but also the similarities between countries such as Turkey and Iran..... their stance on Libya has been nothing short of treacherous!..
Turkey is motivated by opportunism and self interest but Iran's stance appears shortsighted and may backfire against the regime who has clearly lost many sympathizers.

Do you really think Press-TV is sending NATO-propaganda about Lybia just because of (Gaddafi) killing one influential cleric? Is this really so important in this hard times?
NATO/USA killed many nuclear-scientists, they spread mass-propaganda over the last years with false quotes and they also tried to do a fake-revolution in iran. iran is also int. isolated...that´s hardcore warfare in my mind...so why is Press-TV repeating the NATO-USA-propaganda?

there's more to it but it explains their attitude to Gaddafi, especially since Hezbollah who's a close ally of Iran have never forgotten about Moussa el Sadr who to them wasn't just a Cleric but the leader of the Shia in Lebanon who now constitute now the Majority in Lebanon.
There are also few other reasons like Supporting Arab revolutions and hopping for Islamic states, the new relations with some of the Gulf states who are supporting the war, and maybe even a deal with USA?

The Iran, Libya fall out goes back to 1978. A top religious Cleric from Iran went missing in Libya after an alleged fall out with Muʿammar al-Qaḏḏāfī. He was never found again, the whole thing stunk of CIA. The Iranian people have never forgiven Libya. Religion in Iran is dominated by the Twelver Shia branch of Islam, which is the official state religion. The vast majority of Libyan Muslims adhere to Sunni Islam. This is also a big deal with the two countries.

TEHRAN – An official at the Iranian Foreign Ministry has said that pursuing the case of Imam Musa al-Sadr, an Iranian-born Shia cleric who vanished without a trace in Libya in 1978, is high on the agenda of relations between Tehran and Tripoli.

I've heard that Press TV is not exactly as Iranian as it seems, a little bit more like a scokpuppet, think al-Jazeera. However I am having similar concerns sometimes about Iran and where it's leadership seems to be headed. I think Ahmadi Nejad shows he is on the right side with his campaign to keep 9/11 and the questions around Palestine and the Jewish Holocaust [TM] but that is not the real power in Iran speaking. There seems to be a degree of mutual benefit between them and the US.

Israel would do what it's doing even if Hamas didn't exist, as long as there was Palestinian resistance to Israel and Washington. It was happening before Hamas was ever formed.
The crimes of Israel and Washington against Palestinians definitely aren't the fault of Hamas. Washington and Israel are responsible, not Hamas. And it's because Palestinians righteously resist, not due to Hamas, but rather human dignity.
And it's for Palestinians to decide who they elect ; NOT us.

@amiehouriganisaslut We can't tell Palestinians who to elect. USA'ns don't have a real democracy and, therefore, have no example to give for democratic society and governance. So, USA'ns are hardly in any position to be able to preach about democracy, though we can certainly warn others to beware when it comes to promises of democracy, for they're usually unfulfilled in the USA. USA'ns can speak about the experience we have, but not what we haven't had. In the latter case, anyone can speak.

@amiehouriganisaslut The Taliban did not defeat the Russian forces. The mujahideen did. They're were composed of people who eventually became the Taliban.

@afferch yes - good to see a fellow youtuber agree with me - arab league allowed invasion of iraq through kuwait, arab league gave green light for gulf war one to begin, arab league pressured the UN into adopting UNSC 1973 against Libya and the arab league is prostitute to the us interests.

Oligarch team versus Serf team. No countries. No races. The oligarch team walks in each country as if they are from that country, but they are Oligarch. Folks might consider divide and conquer on all scales. If there were no ideologies that would the Oligarchs have us fight about? Race? Country? If those were seen as hilariously silly concepts what would we fight about? Then we could put the folks who still wanted to fight in a sealed room and let them fight, um...maybe that room is Earth?

Thanks for this one, it was about time that somebody mentioned this. It has been disturbing me for a long time. One small piece of the puzzle might be that the Libyans are Arabs and Irianians are Arians. And no, I do not mean that in the sense of Nazi ideologie.

I thought press tv was Americanised anyway. A lot of their articles are US main stream articles. I wonder what the regular papers in Iran are saying. You cannot get any news out of Iran other than Press tv.

very interesting, reminds me of Stratfor's (shadow CIA) director in an interview with RT, saying Iran will be an ally of the US against Rusia and China. Also I recall comments by Webster Tarpley that criticizes Iran attitude in the Libya situation, but he sees it as a naive move (more than a conspiracy) of Iran to avoid attacks by Nato in the near future and in the long run to become a part of the global empire.

I liked PressTV, it was my fav news channel until this illegal aggression colonization of Libya, PressTV lie & lie. I have stopped watching them. RussiaToday is the best channel shows the whole truth. They show the truth with Libya & Syria. Iran are foolish people they will be next 1 day. PressTV even had 1 of the best reporters in Libya. Lizzie Phelan..but when she came back from Libya, they didnt even interview her again after she told the truth! Morris get her on the show please! she is great
