Netanyahu Lying About Tehran Nuclear Ambitions – Iran’s President to Carlson

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spent decades trying to deceive US presidents into believing that Tehran is seeking to create nuclear weapons, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has charged.

In an interview with conservative American journalist Tucker Carlson aired on Monday, Pezeshkian accused Netanyahu of pushing this narrative long before he first became prime minister in 1996. “It was Netanyahu since 1984 who has created this false mentality that Iran seeks a nuclear bomb,” he said, referring to Netanyahu’s role as Israel’s envoy to the UN at the time.

“He has put it in the minds of every US president since then… [that] we would like to have a nuclear bomb,” he noted, stressing that Iran has never been developing such a weapon. “This is in contrast to the religious decree… issued by Iran’s supreme leader,” Pezeshkian added. He also noted that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had confirmed that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons.

Pezeshkian also accused Israel of deliberately sabotaging negotiations with the US on Iran’s nuclear program when West Jerusalem unleashed a powerful strike on Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure, military sites, and top commanders on June 13. – RT

Our Take: In the past week, Tucker has done two subsequent interviews that I think are of enormous consequence, considering the size of his following.

The most obvious would be the newly-released interview with Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, which has triggered most of the internet (Mossad Media) into a kvetch of Biblical proportions.

Pezeshkian makes some great points during the discussion, and certainly succeeds in challenging the official narrative that Iran is governed by a bunch of unhinged and murderous sociopaths. However, the more significant interview, in terms of content, was the interview released immediately before, with historian Scott Horton.

Tucker gives Horton over two hours to go on a Ghost-styled history rant to explain the origin of Iran’s purported conflict with the West. What’s interesting are the revelations regarding post-1979 Iran, given everything we’ve been told by Fox News.

Not only did the United States establish immediate contact with the Ayatollah after the coup, they maintained that contact throughout the 80’s and into the mid-90’s, and even shipped them weapons, encouraging Iran to fight a war with Iraq.

Not only did the US send Iran weapons, Israel did, as well. The only reason they stopped was because in 1993, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin called for normalization with Palestinian and the creation of a Two-State Solution. Leaning into the warhawk rhetoric being espoused by leaders at the time like Netanyahu, Rabin branded Iran as the enemy so that the Israeli citizenry would have a target on which to direct its “two minutes of hate,” leaving Palestine and the Arabs open for earnest discussion.

Iran became the “bad guy,” so that Palestine could be publicly rebranded as a partner, in order to help sell the Two-State Solution to Israelis.
