On December 14, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Iran Threat Reduction Act of 2011. It passed with an overwhelming majority; 410 for, 11 against and 12 abstaining.
The U.S. Senate is now debating their version.
Basically HR 1905 continues the same old sanctions, but with some interesting exemptions and additions:
(1) the procurement of certain defense articles or services; [this implies that the U.S. Defense Department, or U.S. military industrial complex is doing business with Iran?]
(2) eligible products to designated countries or instrumentalities; [“instrumentalities” must mean ‘tools’, or patsies of the United States]
(3) products, technology, or services under contracts entered into before the date on which the President publishes in the Federal Register the name of the person on which the sanctions are to be imposed; [in other words some individuals and organizations will be ‘grandfathered’, and not subject to sanctions]
(4) spare or component parts, or information and technology that are essential to U.S. products or production, and related servicing and maintenance; or [again more evidence that the U.S. is doing business with Iran]
(5) medicines, medical supplies, or other humanitarian items.
Here’s some more interesting statements from the HR 1905:
“The bill would state that a determination to impose sanctions under this Act shall not be reviewable in any court.” [so much for the ‘rule of law’]
“The bill would also authorize the President to provide financial and political assistance to certain foreign and domestic type individuals, organizations, and entities that support democracy in Iran.” [code for creating a situation like Libya, or Syria, and of course that’s your taxpayer dollars at work]
“The bill would also impose specified sanctions on a person that knowingly assisted in the exportation of petroleum, oil, or natural gas produced by the IRGC or its affiliates.” [notice this specifically mentions Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), it does not ban all oil from Iran as the mainstream media leads us to believe. Also, the IRGC is not heavily involved with oil production in Iran, they are a military organization first and foremost, so how effective is this sanction?]
“The bill would block the U.S. property interests of foreign persons or their affiliates that have committed, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of violence threatening the peace or economic stability of Iraq or Afghanistan.” [notice this statement is not directed against Iranians, but any “foreign persons” and concerns Iraq and Afghanistan]
“The bill would direct the President to develop a National Strategy to Counter Iran.” [code for war!!!]
“The bill would amend the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to require any person owned [!?] or controlled [!?] by a domestic financial institution to certify that such person is not engaged in corresponding relations or business activity with the IRGC.” [notice this statement admits that U.S. citizens are not free but are slaves to any U.S. bank, credit union or lending institution that they owe money to, or do business through!!!]
“The bill would require a report on the Central Bank of Iran’s activities to facilitate Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear missile capacities and promote terrorism.” [really, and how is that information going to be acquired? Is the Bank of Iran going to present their financial transactions to the President of the United States? this statement also presumes guilt without evidence or conviction]
HR 1905 ends with a huge presumption of guilt, which guarantees war with Iran.
Lastly, the bill would terminate the provisions of the Act when Iran:
(1) has dismantled its efforts to develop or acquire nuclear, chemical and biological weapons;
(2) no longer provides support for acts of international terrorism; and
(3) poses no threat to U.S. national security, interests, or allies.
There is no way the Iranian government can disprove the final 3 requirements of HR 1905. It’s the same situation as when Bush Jr made his claims against Iraq, which turned out to be complete lies!!!
Update:
The U.S. Senate passed HR 1905 at the end of May 2012.
