Ray McGovern: NEOCONS and WARMONGERS in Biden admin are pushing U.S. into war with Iran

02/09/2024 / By Kevin Hughes

The neoconservatives and warmongers in the Biden administration want America to engage in a war against Iran, according to former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst Ray McGovern.

He shared this view during an appearance on the “Health Ranger Report” with the Health Ranger Mike Adams. The founder of Natural News and Brighteon.com began the program by mentioning that the U.S. wants to use Israel as a proxy to wage war on Iran, which was similar to how Ukraine was utilized as a proxy against Russia.

The Health Ranger also noted that Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John Cornyn (R-TX) are saying they can’t wait to bomb Iran. Even former Fox News host Tucker Carlson denounced the lawmakers as “lunatics” for wanting to retaliate against Tehran.

According to Adams, Graham is still living in the 1980s as he isn’t aware of Iran possessing advanced ballistic missiles – and possibly hypersonic missiles – from Russia. The entire U.S. Navy is well within the range of these weapons, the Health Ranger added.

McGovern remarked that while the Biden regime is divided on the issue of war with Iran, the neoconservatives in the administration are desperate to get America into an open fight with Tehran on behalf of Tel Aviv. Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken of the Department of State, as well as White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, are goading Washington into war.

“What’s happening here is that there’s a battle royale going on in Washington between those who really want to stick it to Iran and to blame every little Houthi or any other terrorist attack on Iranian-backed groups and go after Iran,” McGovern said.

Adams recalled that following the Oct. 7 terror attack in Israel, the Wall Street Journal came out with a story about Hamas fighters being trained in Iran. McGovern dubbed this story as rubbish, adding that people have learned that Tehran, the Lebanon-based Hezbollah or anybody else knew about the attack in Israel before it was conducted.

U.S. making up story that Iran is working on a nuclear weapon

The erstwhile CIA analyst mentioned that Iran has ballistic missiles capable of destroying major cities in Israel. However, Tel Aviv has a deterrent as well in the form of a nuclear weapon – something Tehran does not have.

“The latest intelligence estimate is consistent with the one from 2007, saying Iran is not working on a nuclear weapon right now. They have nuclear material, but not a weapon,” said McGovern. He also disclosed an estimate from an intelligence official stating that Iran stopped working on a nuclear warhead in 2002 and had not resumed ever since.

“So what do we have? We have a standoff here. Hopefully, the deterrent aspect will work its way so that the crazies in Washington will not start a war in Iran and have Israel destroyed in the process – because that is precisely what would happen.”

According to McGovern, the warmongering neoconservatives in the Biden administration “are getting to the point where … [they] would really like to bloody Iran – and they make up this fiction that Iran is working on a nuclear weapon.” He continued that intelligence agencies from the 2000s have “expressed unanimously and confidently” that Tehran isn’t working on a nuclear weapon.

The former CIA analyst recounted how former President George W. Bush even complained about and disagreed with the estimate. The younger Bush’s complaint stemmed from the fact that he was unable to make war against a country the intelligence community said had no active nuclear weapons program.

“They wanted to do this war as they went out into the sunset in 2008, and leave the subsequent administration to mop up and to survive to the degree it could.”
