FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Speaking at the Civil Service Live event in Olympia he said that Iran
was now “two years away” from becoming a “nuclear weapons state”.
He said that “when that moment came” Israel or the United States would have to
decide whether to launch a military strike.
“The Iranians are determinedly going down a path to master all aspects of
nuclear weapons; all the technologies they need,” he said. “It’s equally
clear that Israel and the United States would face huge dangers if Iran were
to become a nuclear weapon state.”
Sir John said that without MI6’s work dealing with the threat, “you’d have
Iran as a nuclear weapons state in 2008 rather than still being two years
away in 2012.”
Sir John said it was up to MI6 to “delay that awful moment when the
politicians may have to take a decision between accepting a nuclear-armed
Iran or launching a military strike against Iran.”
When that moment came, he said: “I think it will be very tough for any prime
minister of Israel or president of the United States to accept a
nuclear-armed Iran.”
Iran has previously accused Israel and the US of trying to disrupt its nuclear
programme through covert operations by Mossad, MI6 and the CIA.
Several Iranian nuclear scientists have been apparently assassinated in recent
years while a powerful computer virus known as Stuxnet attacked the computer
systems of their nuclear facilities.
Britain and America denied the allegations but Israel has remained silent on
the issue.
Sir John disclosed that MI6 has “run a series of operations to ensure that the
sanctions introduced internationally are implemented, and that we do
everything we can within the Middle East to slow down these remaining
problems.
“I take great pride in the fact that, in the last ten years, over a number of
jobs, I’ve been involved in an issue of global concern, and I feel that I as
an individual [have made] an impact in the outcome of events.”
The session – which was open to visitors to the event – was titled
“Unclassified chat: Sir John Sawers CMG” and was reported in Civil
Service World, a publication which is dedicated to senior Whitehall
officials.
Disclosure of his remarks came as the US stepped up their sanctions against
front companies suspected of supplying appaernt nuclear materials to Iran
after an international oil embargo started earlier this month.
His warning of a nuclear Iran in 2014 could throw the Coalition into turmoil
just before the next general election.
The Liberal Democrats have ruled out supporting any military action against
the regime but David Cameron has repeatedly said that “all options” are on
the table.
Senior Conservatives believe that the issue could finally cause the Coalition
to split as Britain would be forced to support any American action.
In March, Sir John spoke to more than 20 ministers about the latest
intelligence on the growing fear that Israel is poised to launch a
pre-emptive strike against Tehran.
The secrecy around the briefing was so high that ministers were ordered to
leave their mobile phones outside the Cabinet room.
There are claims that basic mobile phones, without specialist
anti-eavesdropping security, can be converted into “listening devices” by
foreign intelligence agencies.
The highly unusual briefing was thought to have raised questions about
Israel’s military capacity to destroy Iranian nuclear sites, which are
buried deep underground.
The MI6 chief was also understood to have warned about the potential threat to
Britain from a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
That came after Foreign secretary William Hague warned that Iran’s pursuit of
nuclear weapons threatened to trigger a “new Cold War” that posed an even
greater threat of nuclear conflict than the stand-off between the USSR and
the West.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Mr Hague said that Iran was
threatening to spark a nuclear arms race in the Middle East which could be
more dangerous than the original East-West Cold War as there are not the
same “safety mechanisms” in place.
“It is a crisis coming down the tracks,” he said. “Because they are clearly
continuing their nuclear weapons programme…
“If they obtain nuclear weapons capability, then I think other nations across
the Middle East will want to develop nuclear weapons.
“And so, the most serious round of nuclear proliferation since nuclear weapons
were invented would have begun with all the destabilizing effects in the
Middle East.
“And the threat of a new cold war in the Middle East without necessarily all
the safety mechanisms … That would be a disaster in world affairs.”
