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.
