The story of [Jean de] La Fontaine known as “The Wolf and the Lamb” is not fully applicable to the tense relations between Iran and the evil American military. The American wolf broke its teeth in Iraq and Afghanistan and is now bleeding from its eyes and ears. Israel no longer dares to wage war on Lebanon, one of the smaller Arab countries. So the invader studied his defeat in the summer of 2006. For its part, the Iranian lamb has become strong and sturdy.
What is happening is in fact a restoration of the historical events established in the Bible, when the Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) heralded [the coming of] Jesus. In order to put out the word of truth, Yahya screamed it out in the wilderness. After that, the civilized and religious people put their fingers in their ears so that they might finally cancel the word of injustice, corruption and immorality. Yahya’s head was cut off and served on a silver platter to Herodias, who was disgruntled because Yahya had condemned her marriage to Herod, king of the Jews and the brother of her original husband, to be improper.
For the same purposes, the clergy of the Jewish scribes and Pharisees persecuted Christ and demanded his death. When the Roman governor offered to release him, because Jewish law permits the release of a criminal every year during the celebration of one of their holidays, they insisted on calling Barrabbas. They chose the wretched criminal instead of Christ, the Lamb of God the Magnificent.
There are many similarities between the injustice and hypocrisy of the charges brought against the Baptist and Christ and those that Iran is facing today. These charges have culminated — after allegations of extremism, exporting the revolution and belonging to the axis of evil — in charges that it poses a threat to U.S. national security. The Israeli foreign minister said recently that they are not just a threat to the security of "Israel" but also to all of mankind.
It is the story of the offender who presents himself as defending the values of goodness, freedom and justice while deflecting any charges of crime. The United States, beyond the well-known crimes, is known as the pioneer of global security threats to other countries. It has launched dozens of wars of aggression thousands of kilometers from its borders since the end of World War II. It has been involved in recent years in two big wars in the framework of World War III declared by the Bush administration on the world following the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
They now post, individually or in partnership with its NATO allies and others, fleets and military bases all over the world to openly hit every attempt by a people to get rid of American hegemony. As for the Zionist entity, it is also known that it is an artificial entity that has attracted parts of the Jewish Diaspora. They have not only threatened the security of the Palestinians and Arabs but established through violence and terrorism a state in Palestine, after it displaced people, maltreated, killed and persecuted. This entity also rejects the idea of recognized borders between it and neighboring Arab countries, expressly declaring its ambition to expand its boundaries to include the areas between the Nile and Euphrates on the road to establishing heavenly "Israel" over the entire globe.
The United States presents itself explicitly as the leader of the world, working without equivocation to establish a U.S. global empire on the ruins of the "old" European continent and the rest of the "aging" world. The Israeli entity considers itself the legitimate heir to the land of its ancestors that they claim is a gift from Jehovah. However, despite all these pathological tendencies, they accuse the Islamic regime in Iran of being a threat to humanity. This Iran has never attacked anyone. Since the first moments of the Islamic Revolution, it was subjected to an unjust war that lasted eight years, waged by Saddam Hussein's regime with the support of the West and most Arab countries. They accuse Iran today of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. The funny thing is that those making this charge have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world thousands of times. Iran's nuclear program is nothing more than a program for peaceful purposes.
However, the Americans and the Israelis are right when they accuse Iran of being a threat. But this threat is not directed to all humanity, or U.S. national security or the Jews. It is a threat directed to projects of American dominance in the Israeli-Atlantic region and the world.
It is true that Iran now has enough military power to defend itself or to launch attacks necessitated by defense considerations. It is also true that Iran is extending a helping hand to the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine as well as supporting Iraq and Syria in face of the plots to which they are subjected. But this force is not precisely what worries the American camp of evil. In a world that the capitalist West led to bankruptcy and disaster, the Arab and Islamic worlds are looking for a model of salvation. The Iranian Islamic model is the only one qualified to restore the correct course of history.
