Iranian radio beaming anti-U.S. messages into Iraq
From Geostrategy-Direct, subscription required.......The Iranians, who Kandidate Kerry wants to negotiate with.... An Iranian government-backed radio is broadcasting anti-coalition messages to Iraq, U.S. officials say. The clandestine Mujahadeen Radio, in Arabic, is continuing to attack the invasion of Iraq as "genocide" against the Iraqi people. Conveniently forgetting Sammyâs genocide efforts Recent broadcasts have stated that the hunt for Iraqâs weapons of mass destruction was used as a pretext to invade and that the United States has allowed "Zionists" to enter Iraq. "The radio uses Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) transmission frequencies as well as the IRIB server for its webcasts," according to one official. The radio station has accused the United States of killing Iraqâs children, women and men and destroying the countryâs resources. Donât forget the baby milk factories The broadcasts have complained about the coalition since mid-2003, but the broadcasts have become increasingly strident in recent weeks. In one recent broadcast, the claim was made that "U.S. troops act out of malice and a desire for revenge" and that "invading troops have turned Iraq into a big prison." Concerning the propaganda on Zionists, the radio stated Feb. 9 that "Zionists and Jews" are in Iraq and are helped by "CIA officers who helped them reach their goals even before the U.S. invasion and occupation . . . The resistance is now united against the U.S. and Israel . . . Will the Iraqi resistance now target Jews who have entered Iraq and have, with the support of the U.S., started to invest in the oil lands in the north in the disguise of US investors? Such attacks would embarrass the Americans." Disclosure of the broadcasts follows a recent attack on an Iraqi police station where five Iranian agents were believed to have been held.
