Who is Amir Taheri


Amir Taheri is an Iranian of “Arab” origin, a very much celebrated reporter and analyst for mainly western media outlets. Amir Taheri was born in Ahvaz/Iran in 1942 .How he obtained his qualifications and what and who were his different promoters in life, we consider irrelevant. Important is, he is an outspoken anti Iranian person and usually turns up when MI6, has a “Black Operation” on the agenda against Iran. Amir Taheris articles and commentaries ought never to be taken seriously, except for an orientation of what the MI6 wants the news consumers to be preoccupied with. As an example of his style, I mention only one case…

In June 2006, Amir Taheri claimed and wrote in the “Canadian National Post” that Iran was considering a new legislation, requiring “Jews” to wear distinctive clothing.. (Like the Nazi era, yellow Star of David), with this educated nonsense, he kick-started a series of articles in the western media. Needless to mention Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post jumped at the article and Jerusalem Post was in on it soon after. Australian papers, despite of the Canadian National post having retracted the story as “Nonsense” went ahead and reprinted the story. A couple of Iranian/American Royalists confirmed that there was such a rumour, their constant mentioning of the word “holocaust” while talking of this so called “Rumour” fed the New York Sun an ultra conservative US paper in promoting this disinformation campaign against Iran a while longer, whilst pressuring the White house for a military show down with Iran.

Important here, is to know that Taheri is a member of Benador Associates, a public relations firm that lists a large number of leading neoconservatives, including American Enterprise Institute (AEI) associates Richard Perle, David Frum, Michael Ledeen, Michael Rubin, and Joshua Muravchik, among its clients. Major boosters of the war with Iraq, Benador clients, who also include former Central Intelligence Agency chief James Woolsey and former Israeli minister Natan Sharansky, have also called for the Bush administration to take a hard line against Iran.

I would like to end this with the following conclusion,

“The Institute for Media Ethics is convinced that the honesty or dishonesty of media affects the mental health of the world. Freedom of expression is vital as a means of permitting all views to flourish peacefully. It is a cliché that the price of this freedom must be continual vigilance – in particular vigilance to identify and expose the encouragement of malice, war and the incident of hate speech and image”.

Furthermore underneath is an interview with Fox, and please note the negative sarcasm constantly thrown back at the interviewer, certainly "NOT" to the benefit of Iran and peace
