Talk:Anti-Iran propaganda
The following claims have been moved to the talk page because they include broad conclusory statements and lack proper documentation. Please document each sentence to a reliable source or reformat the sentences to make them consistent with evidence. Thank you!
Beginning in early 2005, several organizations geared up to create conditions that would encourage a hardening of US policy towards Iran with the policy consequences ranging from placing crippling sanctions against its economy all the way to conducting an attack on Iran's nuclear industry. (NB: military analysts indicate that an attack on the nuclear sites could well involve a major conflagration.) No matter how flimsy the evidence, if it would prove useful to smear Iran, it was enough to be pushed.
