America Is Already Committing Acts of War Against Iran: Scott Ritter's New

Article

Posted by Stephen Fox, Managing Editor Santa Fe Sun News

USA taxpayer dollars are funding activities that result in Iranians being

killed and wounded and Iranian property destroyed -- acts of war.

The war between the United States and Iran is on. American taxpayer dollars

are being used, with the permission of Congress, to fund activities that

result in Iranians being killed and wounded, and Iranian property destroyed.

This wanton violation of a nation's sovereignty would not be tolerated if

the tables were turned and Americans were being subjected to Iranian-funded

covert actions that took the lives of Americans, on American soil, and

destroyed American property and livelihood. Many Americans remain unaware of

what is transpiring abroad in their name.

Many of those who are cognizant of these activities are supportive of them,

an outgrowth of misguided sentiment which holds Iran accountable for a list

of grievances used by the U.S. government to justify the ongoing global war

on terror. Iran, we are told, is not just a nation pursuing nuclear weapons,

but is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world today.

Much of the information behind this is being promulgated by Israel, which

has a vested interest in seeing Iran neutralized as a potential threat. But

Israel is joined by another source, even more puzzling in terms of its broad-

based acceptance in the world of American journalism: the Mujahadeen-e

Khalk, or MEK, an Iranian opposition group sworn to overthrow the theocracy

in Tehran. The CIA today provides material support to the actions of the MEK

inside Iran. The recent spate of explosions in Iran, including a

particularly devastating "accident" involving a military convoy transporting

ammunition in downtown Tehran, appears to be linked to an MEK operation; its

agents working inside munitions manufacturing plants deliberately are

committing acts of sabotage which lead to such explosions. If CIA money and

planning support are behind these actions, the agency's backing constitutes

nothing less than an act of war on the part of the United States against

Iran.

The MEK traces its roots back to the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the

democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeg. Formed among

students and intellectuals, the MEK emerged in the 1960s as a serious threat

to the reign of Reza Shah Pahlevi. Facing brutal repression from the Shah's

secret police, the SAVAK, the MEK became expert at blending into Iranian

society, forming a cellular organizational structure which made it virtually

impossible to eradicate. The MEK membership also became adept at gaining

access to positions of sensitivity and authority. When the Shah was

overthrown in 1978, the MEK played a major role and for a while worked hand

in glove with the Islamic Revolution in crafting a post-Shah Iran. In 1979

the MEK had a central role in orchestrating the seizure of the U.S. Embassy

in Tehran, and holding 55 Americans hostage for 444 days.

However, relations between the MEK and the Islamic regime in Tehran soured,

and after the MEK staged a bloody coup attempt in 1981, all ties were

severed and the two sides engaged in a violent civil war. Revolutionary

Guard members who were active at that time have acknowledged how difficult

it was to fight the MEK. In the end, massive acts of arbitrary arrest,

torture and executions were required to break the back of mainstream MEK

activity in Iran, although even the Revolutionary Guard today admits the MEK

remains active and is virtually impossible to completely eradicate.

It is this stubborn ability to survive and operate inside Iran, at a time

when no other intelligence service can establish and maintain a meaningful

agent network there, which makes the MEK such an asset to nations such as

the United States and Israel. The MEK is able to provide some useful

intelligence; however, its overall value as an intelligence resource is

negatively impacted by the fact that it is the sole source of human

intelligence in Iran. As such, the group has taken to exaggerating and

fabricating reports to serve its own political agenda. In this way, there is

little to differentiate the MEK from another Middle Eastern expatriate

opposition group, the Iraqi National Congress, or INC, which infamously

supplied inaccurate intelligence to the United States and other governments

and helped influence the U.S. decision to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam

Hussein. Today, the MEK sees itself in a similar role, providing sole-

sourced intelligence to the United States and Israel in an effort to

facilitate American military operations against Iran and, eventually, to

overthrow the Islamic regime in Tehran.

The current situation concerning the MEK would be laughable if it were not

for the violent reality of that organization' s activities. Upon its arrival

in Iraq in 1986, the group was placed under the control of Saddam Hussein's

Mukhabarat, or intelligence service. The MEK was a heavily militarized

organization and in 1988 participated in division-size military operations

against Iran. The organization represents no state and can be found on the

U.S. State Department's list of terrorist organizations, yet since the U.S.

invasion of Iraq in 2003, the MEK has been under the protection of the U.S.

military. Its fighters are even given "protected status" under the Geneva

Conventions. The MEK says its members in Iraq are refugees, not terrorists.

And yet one would be hard-pressed to find why the 1951 Geneva Convention on

Refugees should confer refugee status on an active paramilitary organization

that uses "refugee camps" inside Iraq as its bases.

from Stephen Fox:

To remedy all of this is to prevent war with Iran. Truly, we must work to

create a New Era of International Peace in Obama's Administration, hopefully

with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson as the next USA Secretary of State.

In the meantime, we must do all we can to bring this premonition of war with

Iran to a close, through our Congress, especially with a spotlight on these

matters by Senator Obama, in his campaign, along with other realms vital to

Americans, like Consumer Protection and a New United States Food and Drug

Administration.
