Conservative Party shadow defence secretary Liam Fox has promised that Britain will take part in a war against Iran based purely on the “atom bomb” lie which he and his fellow warmongers have generated.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Mr Fox, a veteran Tory frontbencher, said that “We may be at the early stages of what we may later view as the Iranian crisis.”

According to Mr Fox, the West “needs to be ready to use force to combat the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear weapons programme.”

When asked if he could foresee a Tory government taking part in a war against Iran, the Conservative would-be minister said, “It is absolutely imperative that Iran knows that everything is on the table.”

The shocking body of lies which the Tories, the Labour Party and two successive regimes in America have concocted over Iran’s so-called “atom bomb” project have, however, hit a serious stumbling block.

Yesterday, Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that his country is willing to send its uranium stocks abroad for further enrichment to prove that they are not being used to develop nuclear weapons.

The announcement followed an earlier offer by the Iranian government to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). That previous deal proposed that Iran would hand over all its stocks of uranium in exchange for nuclear power plant grade enriched uranium. The swop was to have been simultaneous and to have taken place on Iranian soil.

Now, however, the Iranian president has made a further concession, offering to send his country’s uranium to the West to be processed and retuned months later.

Observers point out that this move will effectively prove that Iran’s nuclear programme is entirely peaceful as weapons-grade uranium is substantially different to nuclear power-generating fuel.

More importantly, it will confirm as lies all previous reports about “atom bomb” programmes which the warmongers in the Labour Party, the Tories and the Bush and Obama regimes have made.

It is ironic that the only country in the Middle East which does have a real and undeclared nuclear arsenal is Israel, which has also refused to sign the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty.

Although no official statistics exist, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated in a 2009 report that Israel possesses up to 400 thermonuclear weapons.

According to the CSIS, Israel’s delivery mechanisms include Jericho intercontinental ballistic missiles which have a range of over 7,000 miles. Israel also has an offshore nuclear second-strike capacity, using submarine launched nuclear-capable cruise missiles.

There has, however, never been any suggestion that America or Britain will bomb Israel because of the existence of these weapons, even though none of Israel’s neighbours have such weapons and are unlikely to be able to make them in the foreseeable future.

It is precisely this type of double standards in foreign policy which have helped to incite the Muslim world against the West.

In addition, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, also a critical element of the Tory/Labour/American government “axis of evil” policy, have served to provide the excuse radical Islamists have used to incite the masses of Third World immigrants in Britain to engage in terrorist activities.

The British National Party’s policy in these matters is one of firm neutrality. Israel has the right to protect itself from outside aggression — as does any nation or people, including Palestinians or any Arab nation. British foreign policy must be guided and directed by British interests alone and nothing else.

The BNP was the first political party to oppose the illegal war against Iraq and Afghanistan. It is also the only political party to oppose all foreign wars which have no direct British interests and specifically in Iran — unlike the warmonger Fox and his Tory party.

Iran presents no threat to Britain. There is no need to commit British lives or money to attacking that nation. Such a policy is as mad — in fact, possibly even madder — than attacking Iraq or Afghanistan.

The billions wasted on these wars are urgently needed at home to repair the damage inflicted on Britain by decades of treasonous rule by the Tory/Labour alliance.

The time has come to put Britain first.
