IAEA blasts U.S. intelligence report on Iran

U.S. caught with pants down, lying about Iran. What a shocker.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog agency has written a scathing letter to a congressional committee saying part of its case against Iran is “outrageous and dishonest.”

The report came a day before an Iranian opposition figure accused Iran of using lasers to enrich uranium in its bid to develop a nuclear weapon.

Tehran has repeatedly said that its nuclear program is solely for energy production.

The International Atomic Energy Agency wrote the leadership of the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, lambasting it for claiming that the Islamic republic “is currently enriching uranium to weapons grade.”

Iran is far from that capability, the IAEA said.

And guess who is behind the massive distortion field? None other than Ali Reza Jafarzadeh of Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) infamy. Currently “independent” expert on Iran for Fox News since his last job went up in flames when the NCRI got listed as a terrorist organization by the US State Department. He is also head of the bogus Strategic Policy Consulting Inc, biding his time while slandering Iran, dreaming of the Shah and waiting for his pound of flesh from the subjection of the nation.

An regarding the alleged cover-up …

The subcommittee’s report also insinuates that the IAEA may be in cahoots with Tehran in covering up Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The IAEA shot back that the claim was “an outrageous and dishonest suggestion,” but Rogers stood by it Thursday.

“The Iranians said take him off the program, and they said OK. You can’t have Iran getting to pick who is their inspectors,” Rogers said.

Now that is quite the conspiracy theory. Hope you’re as open-minded when it comes to 9/11. No?

This is just a guess of course but when another U.N. agency was doing inspections of Iraq once upon a time, the U.S. actively subverted the process by infiltrating every branch of that organization with spies. Spies that would later gain access to some of the most secret facilities (and that most of the time had nothing whatsoever to do with NBC weapons) with the expressed purpose to gather sensitive information on a sovereign nation and / or gather data that could be used for political murder and regime change. That is the sole reason why Iraq was being “difficult”. It goes without saying that there is a good chance the U.S. has done exactly the same thing again since it is a classic win-win situation. Even if they’re discovered and kicked out, it will still look like Iran is to blame for hiding something.
