Iran

Speaker: Chris Nineham, Stop the War Coalition.
The drive for a military assault on Iran is gaining ground rapidly, with Britain in the forefront of warmongering actions, such as the stepped-up sanctions announced by the EU in January. As before, the government attempts to justify its intervention with allegations about weapons of mass destruction, as a cover for its geo-political interests and to secure greater control over the region’s wealth, such as oil. At the same time, Britain is pushing for interference aimed at regime change in Syria.
