Former US Assistant Secretary of the Treasury has said that a military strike against Iran is the next war on the US government’s agenda politics.
Paul Craig Roberts wrote in an article that the United States is preparing to attack Iran as it has deployed missiles directed at Iran in Oman and the UAE, Infowars.com reported.
He also brought several other instances to prove his assumption.
“Washington has beefed up Saudi Arabia’s jet fighter force. Most recently, Washington has deployed 9,000 US troops to Israel to participate in “war games” designed to test the US/Israeli air defense system,” Roberts said.
“As Iran represents no threat unless attacked, Washington’s war preparations signal Washington’s intention to attack Iran,” he added.
The author noted that another signal that the US administration has a new war on its agenda is the raised level of “Washington’s rhetoric and demonization of Iran.”
Roberts called US allegation that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons as “the same level of lie as Washington’s claim that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.”
The analyst also warned about the consequences of a nuclear attack on Iran.
“A nuclear attack on Iran would alert both China and Russia that they could suffer the same fate. The consequence would be that the world would face a higher risk of nuclear Armageddon than existed in the mutually assured destruction of the US-Soviet standoff,” Roberts said.
The war threats come after four rounds of US-backed sanctions imposed by the UN and unilateral sanctions by certain US allies failed to stop Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
Anti-Iran measures provoked by the US and Israel are aimed to deny Iran’s right of having peaceful nuclear technology.
As a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran has the legal right to develop nuclear capability for civilian purposes.

USS Kitty Hawk — a 1,000 feet supercarrier with 4,500 personnel on board.
The US military is preparing a massive military campaign against Iran, sending thousands of American troops, warships and weaponry to Israel.
An unnamed source said the military deployment of US anti-missile ships and accompanying support personnel will occur in January and later this spring, Global Research reported.
Commander of the US Third Air Force based in Germany Lt.-Gen Frank Gorenc said it is not just an “exercise,” but a “deployment,” The Jerusalem Post said.
Washington and Tel Aviv have planned to hold what they call the largest-ever joint military exercise this spring.
The US commander visited Israel two weeks ago to confirm details for “the deployment of several thousand American soldiers to Israel.”
The US General also visited one of Israel’s three Iron Dome anti-missile outposts. The Israeli Air Force has announced plans to deploy a fourth Iron Dome system in coming months.
While US troops will be stationed in Israel for an unspecified amount of time, Israeli military personnel will be added to United States European Command (EUCOM) in Germany.
This is while the US is reportedly bringing its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and ship-based Aegis ballistic missile systems to Israel.
The White House has resumed its anti-Iran war rhetoric after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a report in November, in which Tehran was accused of conducting activities related to developing nuclear weapons. Iran strongly dismissed the allegations.
US analyst Robert Parry said the documentary evidence showed that IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano was installed with the support of the US and that he privately indicated to US and Israeli officials that he would help advance their goals regarding Iran.
In December, Iran’s Navy launched massive 10-day military drills in the strategic Strait of Hormuz to show that the country is ready to defend itself against any attack.
“We wanted to send this message to certain powers that Iran is always prepared to defend itself against foreign aggression,” Iran’s Navy Deputy Commander Admiral Amir Rastegari told Press TV.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama on Saturday signed into law fresh economic sanctions, targeting Iran’s Central Bank and financial sector.
Anti-Iran measures provoked by the US and Israel are aimed to deny Iran’s right of having peaceful nuclear program.
Tehran, as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, has repeatedly stated that its nuclear activities are solely for civilian purposes.

Another proxy war for that vile despicable terrorist state of israel,you dont need OR can afford. I as an englishman certainly dont wanna die in a nuclear armageddon for no jew.but until america grows a pair its looking more likely everyday.
I most wholeheartily agree, however, do not be fooled just because you are an Englishman living in England I presume. Great Britain is infested with the mark of Judaism, most notably the Royal family. Do some research and digging and you will discover as I did that the British Royal family descend from an ancient Hebrew bloodline.
In the month of December 2011 alone gun shops sold over 10 million firearms. During a poll the people were concerned about civil unrest, the economic collapse and the fact that they no longer trust their government. So, I think that pretty well sums it up. The sleeping giant is awakening at an alarming speed.
