The warmongers in London and Washington, aided by the liars in the controlled media, are busy whipping up a war fever against Iran using the same techniques of deceit they used against Iraq.

“The latest example of these deliberate lies and deceit have come from Tory foreign affairs spokesman William Hague, who, at the Tory party conference, issued a new warning about Iran,” said British National Party foreign affairs spokesman Arthur Kemp.

“To justify his position, Mr Hague repeated American president Barack Obama’s recent shocking lies about Iran and alleged nuclear bombs,” Mr Kemp said.

Mr Hague said that “unless Iran changes course, the time is approaching for serious and far-reaching sanctions by European nations on Iran’s financial transactions and oil and gas development. The need to avert a nuclear arms race in the Middle East is a challenge that outweighs all other considerations.”

Mr Kemp said the Tory spokesman was a “fool and a liar” who was simply echoing the pack of lies first spouted by Mr Obama and then mindlessly repeated by Labour’s equally mendacious Foreign Secretary David Milliband.

“These allegations over Iran’s alleged ‘nuclear bomb’ come direct from the lie-machine in Washington which also manufactured a large number of the lies about Iraq’s so-called weapons of mass destruction,” he said.

“On 25^th September, Mr Obama made an announcement that Iran has been caught with a ‘secret nuclear facility’ which was going to be able to manufacture an atom bomb.

“This statement was lapped up by the controlled media with The Guardian newspaper printing a lurid headline reading ‘Showdown looms with Iran over secret nuclear plant’,” he said.

The facts are quite different to those spouted by Mr Obama, Mr Milliband, Mr Hague and the controlled media.

“Iran is a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty,” Mr Kemp said. “As such, its facilities are regularly inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“The IAEA has repeatedly announced that Iran has no nuclear weapons programme. This information is publicly available to anyone with an internet connection — yet the warmonger liars simply ignore the IAEA’s announcements.

“In terms of the IAEA charter, it must be informed before a uranium enrichment facility comes online. It has been confirmed that Iran informed the IAEA on 21st September that it was nearing completion of a new installation.

“Iran fulfilled its obligations under the IAEA safeguards agreement and it is nothing short of a wicked lie on Mr Obama’s part to have claimed that it was a ‘secret facility’,” Mr Kemp said.

Mr Obama accused Iran of having a secret “nuclear weapons program” and demanded that it “come clean” about its attempts to make an atom bomb.

Yet Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General of the IAEA, issued a report on 7 September which refuted all these claims of a ‘secret’ Iranian nuclear weapons programme.

In his statement, Dr ElBaradei said that he was “dismayed by the allegations of some Member states, which have been fed to the media, that information has been withheld from the (IAEA) Board. These allegations are politically motivated and totally baseless. Such attempts to influence the work of the Secretariat and undermine its independence and objectivity are in violation of Article VII.F. of the IAEA Statute and should cease forthwith.”

On 16 September, Newsweek magazine reported that all 16 of the major American intelligence agencies had told the White House that Iran’s “nuclear status” had not changed since the National Intelligence Estimate of November 2007, which stated with “high confidence” that Iran had halted all weapons development in 2003.

“Once again, all of these facts are available to anyone with an internet connection, yet the warmongers continue to lie blatantly about Iran,” Mr Kemp, who has a degree in international politics, political science and public administration,  continued.

“This is being done with the intention of plunging America and Britain into yet another Middle Eastern war in exactly the same fashion as they tricked and lied their way into Iraq and Afghanistan.

“The BNP seeks no conflict with the Muslim world and seeks to live at peace with all nations. As long as nations such as Iran keep their excess population from swamping Britain, we have no interest in interfering in their internal affairs.

“We most certainly reject the lies and hate being spewed out by the old party criminals on both sides of the Atlantic for their own nefarious purposes,” he concluded.

* Tory party leader David Cameron announced at his party’s latest conference in Manchester that a Conservative government would increase the number of British troops deployed in Afghanistan.

The BNP’s policy is to immediately withdraw from Afghanistan and never to send British troops to any conflict in which Britain has no interest.
