Zarif warns “Team B” planning anti-Iran false flag

Kevin Barrett

Press TV Iran’’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has issued a warning against what he has described as the B-Team. The hawkish “B-team” is comprised of US National Security Adviser John Bolton, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Zarif has slammed the hostile polices pursued by these politicians against Iran, saying they are targeting the Iranian nation with “economic terrorism.” The Iranian foreign minister added that what the B-Team is doing is a delusional pursuit of “regime-change,” questioning whether US President Donald Trump would let…

Zionist lobby pushing US under Trump into war with Iran

Kevin Barrett

Press TV A commentator says the Zionist lobby — which fabricated pretexts for previous US wars in Asia — is now attempting to push Washington into a major conflict with Iran, and that Foreign Minister Zarif is right to believe that US President Donald Trump does not favor war with Iran, but may be “lured” into one by pro-Israel hawks. Kevin Barrett, author and Middle East expert, told Press TV that Washington’s previous wars – such as the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan – turned into “complete debacles” for the US, warning that a war with Iran would even be “vastly…

Iran-based New Horizon NGO appeals Treasury Department sanctions—Treasury foresees “lengthy process”

Kevin Barrett

Sheldon Adelson owns Trump’s Iran policy. Adelson’s henchmen Pompeo and Bolton are mandating maximum USG pressure on Iran. So the Treasury Department has cooked up a flimsy case against the Iranian NGO New Horizon, which has sponsored annual conferences in which I’ve been a regular participant since 2013. It’s obvious that New Horizon conferences are not designed for recruiting spies. The invitees are intellectuals and public figures, not the kind of people who would have classified information. It’s equally obvious that Adelson/Netanyahu’s real gripe against New Horizon is the conference’s willingness to provide a forum for anti-Zionist intellectuals. All of…

Assad Visits Iran

Kevin Barrett

Press TV The surprise visit of the Syrian president to Iran has hit the headlines of major news outlets in the Middle East and beyond. During his visit, President Bashar al-Assad held meetings with the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani in Tehran. During his talks with President Assad, Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran is honored to support Syria, emphasizing that the triumph of the resistance front in Syria has made Americans angry and prompted them to hatch new plots.

New Horizon chair Nader Talebzadeh discusses neocon war on Iran…and America

Kevin Barrett

Nader Talebzadeh, Iran’s biggest TV talk show host, chair of New Horizon NGO. Neocon-Zionist Mnuchin’s Treasury Department recently sanctioned Iranian NGO New Horizon, vaguely alleging that its conferences—which bring together independent thinkers from around the world—are fronts for Iranian spying. The sole basis for this absurd claim is the Justice Department’s indictment of Monica Witt, a former Air Force officer who allegedly defected to Iran and spilled secrets to Iranian intelligence. There’s only one problem: Monica Witt has absolutely no connection to the New Horizon NGO! As New Horizon Chair Nader Talebzadeh explains in this interview, Witt showed up uninvited…

Iranian Spying? or Neocon 9/11 Coverup?

Kevin Barrett

Questioning the USG/NYT official story on Marzieh Hashemi, Monica Witt, New Horizon…and yours truly By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, for Unz.com It wasn’t the first time I’ve been prominently libeled in The New York Times. Nor was it the worst. Compared to Stanley Fish’s grotesquely mendacious 2006 op-edtrashing me for something I never did—advocating 9/11 truth in the classroom[1]—Alan Blinder, Julie Turkewitz and Adam Goldman treated me fairly well on today’s Sunday NYT front pageby calling me a “controversial scholar of Islam” while accurately reporting what I said about Monica Witt, the ex-Air Force officer accused of spying for…

Lawyer & ex-State Dept. official J. Michael Springmann on Monica Witt witch hunt

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE J. Michael “Mike” Springmann, author of Visas for al-Qaeda, attended the New Horizons Conference in Mashhad, Iran, last May. In this interview Mike and I discuss our experiences at New Horizons Conferences—and the witch hunt against New Horizons and Monica Witt, a former US Air Force officer who attended one of the conferences and who is now being charged with espionage. Immediately after recording this interview, I spent considerable time on the phone with a New York Times journalist describing my (very positive) impression of Monica Witt…and my sense that Bolton and Pompeo are lashing out against innocent…

Kevin on Sputnik: ‘JCPOA withdrawal is one of the stupidest geostrategic moves that’s ever been made’

Kevin Barrett

Sputnik Iran is marking 40 years since the Islamic revolution in the country. On February 1, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Tehran from Paris after 14 years in exile. The return of an outspoken critic of Iran’s former ruler Mohammad Deza Shah Pahlavi marked the beginning of the Iranian revolution, which eventually led to the establishment of the Islamic Republic. Up to 10 million people showed up for Khomeini’s arrival, according to media reports. In response, the United States had attempted to launch a counterrevolution, supported an invasion by Iraq and strengthened its alliance with Iran’s regional rival Saudi…
