US Official Says Iran is 'Central Banker of Terror'/ VOA

[TexasLawyer]

Here is some official USA propaganda for you.

This says "The U.S. and other Western nations accuse Tehran of secretly trying to build nuclear weapons." Is it "the U.S."that is accusing Iran of this or just the same neo-con cabal that pimped the Iraq war and now wants to widen it?

And according to the non-war-pimp authorities, Iran is many years away from nukes, even if it wanted to build them, which it denies.


US Official Says Iran is 'Central Banker of Terror'

A U.S. anti-terrorism official says Iran is providing money to finance terrorism carried out by the militant group Hezbollah - calling the country quote - "the central banker of terror". In an interview with the Associated Press Monday, Stuart Levey said Iran is a country that has terrorism as part of its budget.

Levey - the U.S. Under-Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism - spoke as Iran faces a Thursday, August 31 U.N. deadline to stop enriching uranium or face possible sanctions.

Separately, the United States confirmed it will issue a visa to former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, who has been invited to speak next month at a multi-faith seminar in Washington. Khatami, considered a moderate among Iranian religious leaders, had advocated dialogue with the U.S. during his term in office, which ended last year.

The U.S. and other Western nations accuse Tehran of secretly trying to build nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is for generating electricity.
