The big lie on Iran continues
I just listened to Richard Engle on NBC News say that "Iran continues to insist that a decision to make a nuclear bomb has not been taken." But that is a grotesque lie. In actual fact, Iran has repeatedly said that it has made a decision - a decision not to build nuclear weapons. That decision came from both the Supreme Leader, Khamenei, in the form of a fatwa, as well as multiple times from the country's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (here, here, and here). As far as I know, none of these very clear, unambiguous statements have ever been reported by Richard Engle or any other reporter for the Western corporate media.
