The right to health and access to medical treatment and medication -- one of the fundamental human rights anywhere in the world -- is being denied to ordinary Iranians.

Sieges now extend to entire countries, they have become the torture before the destruction. And they are not counted in long days, but in long years.

Western states have developed a new means of waging war on civilians without explicitly have to declare that this is what is actually taking place.

The United States and Arab dictators say Iran is the gravest security threat in the Middle East: the Arab populations have a very different view.

Economic sanctions are not only shattering the lives of the Iranian people but also strangling Iran's social and cultural development. Mehrnaz Shahabi provides an in-depth analysis.

Why should Iran want nuclear weapons when without them it has become more powerful year after year in the past 34 years, stymying Western efforts to bring about the collapse of the regime?

The oddly named 'Site 911' project costing up to $100m, can only be built by workers from specific countries with proper security clearances: Palestinians need not apply.

Just as with Iraq, the western media blindly trumpets whatever is shoveled to them about Iran, keeping fear levels sky-high to justify crippling sanctions and preparing the ground for war.

The victims of the US-Nato war against Iran are unseen, dying anonymously in hospitals, not incinerated in spectacular explosions touched off by cruise missiles and bunker buster bombs.

The sanctions are hurting the same people who we were told were not meant to be their target, in what is yet another case of "collateral damage" inflicted by Western policy towards Iran.

So horrific is the human suffering brought about by such sanctions regimes that some are beginning to argue that killing Iranians with an air attack would be more humane.

History, the analysts say, demonstrates that airstrikes and military threats often result in unbending resolve among the beleaguered to do whatever it takes to acquire nuclear arms.

As Obama and Netanyahu escalate their threats against Iran, the only way to rebuff and dismantle the war propaganda is to be aware of the truth on which it claims to comment.

US and Israeli forces have Iran surrounded, and are threatening war in violation of the UN Charter -- a threat to millions of human beings, a threat -- in other words -- of mass murder.

The US-Israeli cyber war on Iran has triggered an unregulated cyber-arms race with governments, intelligence agencies and militaries all developing malicious code to deploy across the world.

Lib Dem MP Nick Harvey confirmed he considered his sacking as defence minister was linked to mounting speculation of a pre-emptive strike on Iran and the expectation that UK forces would be drawn in.
