US, Israel involved in assassinations

Ramsey Clark, former U.S. attorney general and co-founder and representative of the International Action Center underlined the fact that the US and Israel were involved in the assassination of Iranian scientists. He also called for an end to a campaign of terror against Iran and Iranian scientists. The statement published in the group's website at iacenter.org reads: "Another Iranian scientist, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, has been assassinated in Iran by a car bomb. This is the fifth Iranian scientist targeted by assassins working in Iran in two years. Four attacks succeeded. This is a deadly escalation of the covert criminal activities conducted by the U.S., Israel and their terrorists and domestic spies in Iran against the government and people of Iran. While Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has denied any U.S. involvement, the important and undeniable truth is that the governments of the U.S. and Israel have openly declared Iran as an enemy and have publicly stated that they will use all means necessary, not excluding military attack, to change the Iranian government using Iran’s efforts to produce nuclear energy as an excuse. The assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists is an effort to create fear in the Iranian people, opposition to their own government and to monopolize nuclear research and development of nuclear power. The aim is to stop Iran’s drive for industrial and technological independence on which the independence of Iran and the freedom of its people depend. Those who forget the past are condemned to its repetition. Do we remember that the Shah, who ruled Iran for 25 years on behalf of the U.S., had a huge nuclear energy program intended to replace depleted fossil fuels? Do we realize his billions of dollars of arms purchased from the U.S. with the wealth of the Iranian people helped fund the U.S arms research, development and production that now threaten Iran? In the decades since the Shah fled, sanctions, sabotage and threats have escalated into dangerous new decisions to send a U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier, destroyers and nuclear submarines into the Persian Gulf and impose harsher sanctions on trade, and an oil embargo. All of these threats are threats against peace and violations of international law. A just society can have no interest in stopping the peaceful progress of other nations and peoples. No to another war for oil, no to foreign government domination and foreign corporate exploitation of Iran, or any other country! We urge all who oppose another war of ever greater massive destruction and death to speak out in this hour of maximum peril.
