Who is the real threat to peace?

According to ANSWER Coalition, Iran does not have a single nuclear weapon while in contrast the U.S. possesses 10,600 in its stockpile. Then who was responsible for the Nagasaki and Hiroshima disaster? And who is pursuing a warmongering attitude toward Iran and the world? To answer these questions read the following facts.

Fact: Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon.

Fact:  Iran has the right, according to international law, to develop nuclear energy for civilian use.

Fact: Iran’s nuclear energy program is regularly monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Fact: Iran has never started a war.

Fact: The United States possesses 10,600 Nuclear war heads  in  its  stockpile,  7,982  of  which  are deployed  and  2,700  of  which  are  in  a  contingency stockpile. The total number of nuclear war heads that have been built from 1951 to present is 67,500.

Fact: The United States is the only country y to have ever used nuclear weapons.  It did so when it incinerated hundreds of thousands of Japanese people  living  in  the  cities  of  Nagasaki  and Hiroshima.
Neither city had any military significance.

Fact: The United States has spent $7 trillion on   nuclear   weapons. The U.S. military   budget   for 2012   alone   is   about   equal   to   Iran’s   entire   Gross National   Product.

Fact: Israel, the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid (about $3 billion in 2011), unlike Iran, possesses hundreds of nuclear weapons.

Fact: Israel, unlike Iran, refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) into Israel to monitor its nuclear program.

Fact: There is active discussion in the Israeli media about whether Israel will carry out military strikes against Iran’s nuclear energy facilities.  Israel bombed similar nuclear civilian energy facilities in Iraq in 1981 ("Operation Babylon”) and in Syria in 2007 ("Operation Orchard”).

Fact:  The United States and Britain used severe economic  sanctions  and  CIA  covert  operatives to  over throw  the  democratically  elected  government of  Iran  led  by  Dr. Mohammad  Mosaddegh  in  1953.
The Iranian government had nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), which became known as British Petroleum (BP), in a campaign to use oil profits to eradicate widespread poverty within Iran.  The successful CIA and British Intelligence coup d’état put the Shah of Iran (King) back in power. The Shah’s dictatorship denationalized Iranian oil and returned it to the ownership of British and U.S. oil companies. The Shah executed and tortured thousands during his 26-year bloody reign, which ended in the 1979 revolution that created the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Fact: The United States broke diplomatic relations with Iran and has pursued a policy of economic sanctions against the country since the over throw of the U.S.-backed Shah (King).

Fact: Iran’s   oil   reserves   are   the   fourth   largest in the world — it has 12.7 percent of the world’s known oil   reserves. That   makes   Iran’s   oil   reserves   second only   to   Saudi   Arabia   in   the   Middle East, greater   than those   of   Iraq.

Fact: The new economic sanctions against Iran  include  a  ban  on  the  import,  sale  and  trade  of Iranian oil, which constitutes half of Iran’s Gross National Product. It forbids any company in the world that does any business with Iran or its Central Bank from having any trade or economic transaction with a U.S. bank or corporation.

Fact: The economic sanctions are an effort to create economic suffering in Iran and to deprive the country of the goods and services to sustain life. According to international law, these economic sanctions  constitute  a  blockade  or  an  act  of  war against  Iran  even  though  Iran  poses  no  threat  to  the people of the United States or Europe.
