Prof Chossudovsky on war on Iran

I can second these comments on Canadian Prof. Michel Chossudovsky whom I heard some years ago in Wellington

“I met Professor Michel Chossudovsky more than a decade ago. He has consistently been one of the most courageous and clear voices out there and his analysis consistently right on the money”. -- MCR

US covert operations potentially 'first phase of an all-out attack' on Iran

Press TV,

The director of the Centre for Research on Globalization says the loss to Iran of the CIA's surveillance drone reveals the United States and Israel's broader “military agenda directed against Iran.”

“This [spy drone operation] is a centralized operation out of strategic command headquarters in Nebraska,” Michel Chossudovsky said in an interview with Press TV's U.S. Desk on Saturday.

“It contemplates both theater operations as well as covert operations using panoply of sophisticated weapons systems,” to destabilize Iran, he added.

“These covert operations, constitute, potentially, the first phase of an all-out attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran. Such an operation to attack either Iran or Syria is in blatant derogation of international law, it is classified as a war of aggression under international law.”

Chossudovsky noted that the fact that Iran was able to down the advanced RQ-170 unmanned U.S. spy plane lends further credence to “recent developments that suggest Iran has developed its own capabilities in terms of cyber warfare and command and control counter-operation.”
