It may be a new month, but it’s the same old Wall Street Journal trumpeting the latest US gambit designed to hide its real intentions toward Iran. Again it was in a front page feature story on June 1 headlined: “In Shift, U.S. Offers to Talk to Iran, Aiming to Bolster Allies’ Cohesion.” The WSJ is never up to explaining the real motive behind the latest ploy and instead falsely claims it’s “a nod to European allies’ desire to offer carrots as well as sticks to steer Iran away from its efforts to produce weapons-grade uranium.” So to achieve that supposed end, the US has now said it will join with the European-led “negotiations” currently ongoing and actually talk to the Iranians. One has to be impressed with such professed generosity, which, in fact, is just more barely disguised US audacity with a heavy dose of mendacity.
