"TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran on Sunday brushed aside what it called a U.S. 'psychological war' against its nuclear programme after a published report described Pentagon planning for possible military strikes against Iranian atomic facilities.
A report by influential investigative journalist Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker magazine, citing unnamed current and former officials, said Washington has stepped up plans for possible attacks on Iranian facilities to curb its atomic work.
The article said the United States was considering using tactical nuclear weapons to destroy Iran's underground uranium enrichment facilities at Natanz, south of Tehran.
'This is a psychological war launched by Americans because they feel angry and desperate regarding Iran's nuclear dossier,' Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told a weekly news conference."
Okay, for starters here, it's those kooky Iranians who have been "psychologically war-mongering", what with all their "top secret" missile tests, Persian gulf excursions, and flying-boat photo-ops.
Secondly, neither America-hating Seymour Hersh nor his fellow-traveling publisher, the New Yorker, can be said to ever be doing anything on behalf of the US government. Unless one was born yesterday.
Roto-Reuters... in the toilet as usual.
