    He may yet turn out to be the avatar of Iranian democracy, but three decades ago Mir-Hossein Mousavi was waging a terrorist war on the United States that included bloody attacks on the U.S. embassy and Marine Corps barracks in Beirut.

    Mousavi, prime minister for most of the 1980s, personally selected his point man for the Beirut terror campaign, Ali Akbar Mohtashemi-pur, and dispatched him to Damascus as Iran’s ambassador, according to former CIA and military officials.

    The ambassador in turn hosted several meetings of the cell that would carry out the Beirut attacks, which were overheard by the National Security Agency.

    “We had a tap on the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon,” retired Navy Admiral James “Ace” Lyons related by telephone Monday. In 1983 Lyons was deputy chief of Naval Operations, and deeply involved in the events in Lebanon.

    “The Iranian ambassador received instructions from the foreign minister to have various groups target U.S. personnel in Lebanon, but in particular to carry out a ’spectacular action’ against the Marines,” said Lyons.

    “He was prime minister,” Lyons said of Mousavi, “so he didn’t get down to the details at the4 lowest levels. “But he was in a principal position and had to be aware of what was going on.”

    Lyons, sometimes called “the father” of the Navy SEALs’ Red Cell counter-terror unit, also fingered Mousavi for the 1988 truck bombing of the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Center in Naples, Italy, that killed five persons, including the first Navy woman to die in a terrorist attack.

    Bob Baer agrees that Mousawi, who has been celebrated in the West for sparking street demonstrations against the Teheran regime since he lost the elections, was directing the overall 1980s terror campaign.

    But Baer, a former CIA Middle East field officer whose exploits were dramatized in the George Clooney movie “Syriana,”  places Mousavi even closer to the Beirut bombings.

    “He dealt directly with Imad Mughniyah,” who ran the Beirut terrorist campaign and was “the man largely held responsible for both attacks,” Baer wrote in TIME over the weekend.

    “When Mousavi was Prime Minister, he oversaw an office that ran operatives abroad, from Lebanon to Kuwait to Iraq,” Baer continued.

    “This was the heyday of [Ayatollah] Khomeini’s theocratic vision, when Iran thought it really could export its revolution across the Middle East, providing money and arms to anyone who claimed he could upend the old order.”

    Baer added: “Mousavi was not only swept up into this delusion but also actively pursued it.”

    Retired Adm. Lyons maintained that he could have destroyed the terrorists at a hideout U.S. intelligence had pinpointed, but he was outmaneuvered by others in the cabinet of President Ronald Reagan.

    “I was going to take them apart,” Lyons said, “but the secretary of defense,” Caspar Weinberger, “sabotaged it.”

      In addition, when Mousavi was prime minister he had a number of his political opponents assassinated. Furthermore, he was deeply involved in killing and persecuting the peaceful Baha’is (a religious minority). We can be sure that he’s not one to look to for human rights.

      Ray is right Reply:

      He is definitely not for human rights since he is telling his people to keep protesting and taking the chance of being killed. If he were a real leader he would lead from the front and be up there with his “people”. God only knows what outside influences are pushing this so called “revolution”.

      Hey did you guys smell that?!?! Smells like a reason to start a new war so the bankers can get rich and fund both sides! Iran, North Korea, a bad economy that was created by the elite bankers. Ahh…what a world we live in. Hey how about them Yankees?

      Captain Trips Reply:

      Do you know anything about human rights Ray or who coined the term? It is a term that was created by the Illuminati, by Voltaire to be exact. Human rights is another deceiving philosophy created by the elite to be used to help foment their chaotic plans. Just like multiculturalism and civil rights, human rights is a joke and means nothing.

      No Sam, The war against the NWO began years ago with the various protests at their globalist summits.

      Yeah maybe so, but if he had won it would have been a victory for women’s rights. Because CNN says so. And what’s more important than women’s rights? Nothing! All this other stuff doesn’t matter. If it did surely Fox News would have interviewed their war hero Ollie about it.

      And while CIANN/FAUX/MSNBS keep trying to get us to cry for Neda…

      U.S. Stormtroopers have created 1,000,000 Neda’s in Iraq & Afghanistan…

      and counting.

      I am not amused Reply:

      I have noticed that they seem to suppress any video images of people being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now that is interesting, since that blood is on our hands.

      Yeah, they do seem to be a bunch of hypocrites who want to keep that military rolling.

      Juan Ochocinco Reply:

      “our hands”? Did you personally cause any of this or influence it to happen in any way? I didn’t. Don’t be so sloppy with the word “our”. The mainstream media wants everyone to refer to the US government as “we”. This is a part of the war for your mind! THEY ARE NOT WE!

      maelstrom Reply:

      um bush rigged the us elections twice and americans and the world didnt even protest lol. now this iranian guy won legitimately and the world (i mean media like BBC and CNN=CIA) are in an uproar. this is so much farce and spectacle, cynical because of the loss of life involved.

      the us got iran to take the embassy hostages anyway. nwo u so tricky.

      Big talk from Admiral Limpdick Lyons,

      Naaaa,

      Not Cappy Boy…

      He was busy selling arms to Iran to kill Iraqs to raise money to buy cocaine to sell to kids in Chicago to raise money to give to Ollie to hire the killing of Catholic Priests in El Salvador.

      I loved the Rayguns years. No pell grants. No work. No money. It was great…

      Mousavi is the stooge to make it look like a real election.

      s---, Putin doesn’t even bother.

      to be clear, in case anyone missed your cryptic reference, Mousavi was the guy who paid Ollie the money for the missiles

      There is definitely something fishy about all this. Given the fact of the “orange revolution” in the former communist states, the confessions of “The economic hit man” and the legacy of history (CIA’s previous involvement in Iran and elsewhere). God help us and He will! Take care and God Bless,

    6. Voice (Neda) Says:

      Ok, Mousavi is a bad man but you don’t underestant that Iranian regime has been the most brutal regime in the world. The way the Iran’s constitution is written one man (Supreme leader) is the god’s (Allah) representetive on the earth and he is the only decision maker and he is always right because he’s been sent by god; no one can oppose him or criticize him or will be detained or executed so in a regime like this a little reform means a lot for the people but as the regime’s brutallity intensify (killing innocent like Neda) people push for more reforms. Lets see if Mousavi go along with it or not.

      Sam Reply:

      False, supreme leaders dont believe they are sent by God.
      Everyone whether they would like to avoid it or not needs someone to handle legislature and carry out the priorities of the people. It would be silly to not have a president or a leader. Even a tribe if split, automatically begings to search for a leader, its part of Human nature and he ayotallah Ali Kominei is not a rich person nor is he vain or claim he is sent from God.

      Captain Trips Reply:

      Iran isn’t even close to being the world’s most brutal regime in the world. That’s a bunch of propaganda. Ask the 50,000 Jews living in Iran if it’s as brutal as you think.

      Hmm Reply:

      Hey Voice, what do you think the Queen of England claims to be to all the countries that still have her as the head of state? What do you think the Pope claims to be all of the nations that still let Catholicism rule them? Where do you think the Iranians learned that crap?

    7. kaveh Says:

      continue with misinformation about Iran and become a puppet of Zionism, one thing is completely clear in Iran and that is the whole country and the people are fighting a brutal fundamentalist and puppet of British Empire and their enemy means Freemasonry and International Media are in front of the PEOPLE OF IRAN.

      SHAME ON YOU ALEX JONES,YOU ARE JUST A FAKE BASTARD, SHAME ON YOU

      Played Reply:

      Kaveh have you bothered to read this article ? Sometimes i think people come on here and just waist there time. The Iran regime has not oppresed anyone besides the spoilt brats in the North who dont know that. Due to Iran growing economically and militarily the NWO wants to break it aparat. Rob Bear the former CIA agent knows what hes talking about and he has studied Iran for more then 20 years ? Have you read his book ?
      If you think about it there are 70 million people in Iran and only hundreds and thousands are protesting ? the people are getting played and it seems to have worked on you.

      Average Iranian Jo Reply:

      Kaveh, if you think that only the current government is a puppet of the British then you are seriously mistaken. All Iranians know that the regime is fundamental and cruel but all Iran’s regimes have been put in place by other governments, i.e. America or Britain and Mousavi is another CIA-agent whom they want to put in power so that they can continue to control and manipulate you people. If more of us started to think like Alex Jones and accept that there is something suspicious about the United Colours of Revolutions (Red, Orange, Green…), then maybe we can put a stop to all this and prevent the New World Order from being established. If you want to change Iran’s government, unite with your people and do it yourselves- don’t ask Obama because you’ll definitely get more than you bargain for. Mousavi is Matarsak for the the West, as was the Shah, Mossadegh and Khomeini. They all have their uses and once they are not needed anymore, they are easily disposed of. The same will happen to Ahmadinejad and Mousavi and many more who will come after…

    9. Alastair Says:

      Well for a start the fact that The Daily Telegraph (UK) printed the story that George Bush had signed an order to start black ops against Iran in 2007 and the other fact that a large number of these supposed “Terrorist Bombings against American Targets” have esp in Reagan’s Times been proven to have been CIA backed leaves no suprises in this story!! Probably like Saddam Hussein the CIA will continue to back Mousavi until he’s served his prupose and when he gets too big for his boots (like trying to do a deal for Iranian oil) theyll serve him up to the vultures to kill him off

      Average Iranian Jo Reply:

      Well, we’ll think that vultures are feasting on him but he’ll really be having tea with the Queen or Obama!

      This article is a Psy-OPS.

      What really happened:

      April 18, 1983, the Mossad, through it’s Hamas, explode a large car bomb at the US embassy in Beirut, killing 17 US marines.

      sorry, who said these protesters like the US??

      we love mousavi, not the US nor Israel! you are deluded if you think we want a change for iran that means abandoning palestine and lebanon. our liberation goes hand in hand with theirs, and is not removed from an end to imperialism or us occupation.

      mousavi was right in leading the bombings against US occupiers and israel-supporters in beirut. what the hell right did they have there???? long live mousavi!!

      if mousavi is not working directly for the CIA, he is their dupe. so are the protestors. they’ve been manipulated into a loose-loose situation no matter what they do now.

      The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
      Ahmedinejad is seen by most around the world as the greater of two evils. If you ain’t supporting the human rights movement, you are merely complacent of the oppressive regime and wish to see the murderous Iranian political trifecta continue on it’s course of genocide and state sponsored terror.

      Sure, protesting may be low level terrorism, but killing protestors as a deterrent is the highest form of criminal wrongdoing the world has known.

      American history itself has taught us that: from the Boston Massacre to Kent State. Have we not learned?

      Forecast

      Persian Muslim will eventually threaten to drop a nuclear bomb on Arab Muslim and try to take control over the Kaaba in Mecca from arab hands and in return for good press and little to no resistance from the world. The Persian Muslim will secretly bargain away the doom of rock to the Christian Jewish Zionist/ globalist bankers, This will be achieve by a control smoke screen revolution in Iran, by pretending to talk with iran about the current events, such as the second revolution & nuclear proliferation. However, the talks will really be about future war and how to switch control over the Kaaba in Mecca from Arabs to Persian Iranian hands, in exchanged for this the Iranian muslim will let the Israelis take over the doom of rock so they can rebuild the third temple. Of course this and more will cause WORLD WAR 3 stemming from a smoke screen Iranian revolution each side will think the globalist is on there side not true war spills blood, Blood makes money, Money is power, that’s all they care about THE REAL WAR, HAS NOW BEEN EXPOSE, AND NOW YOU KNOW!!! AND NOW THEY KNOW, WE KNOW.

      Does it seem a bit peculiar to anyone about the way the news is going about reporting this. Why are they so adamant on getting this story out. They constantly report on this when it in fact is none of our business. Yes, whoever gets elected does effect America, but its not our call. They have been riding the president to be more stern about his opinion of Iran. It seems to me the president isn’t saying anything because he wants more videos to get out. Whats better fear mongering then showing protesters getting killed. The media seems to show that this is what happens when you riot. They do seem to be showing that it’s a good thing that they are protesting, but also its kind of tarring in the images of the people who have died. It all just seems like conditioning to make you fear protest. I may be way off base but tell me what you think.

      so mousavi was in charge of hezbollah in lebanon, when hezbollah in lebanon was actually connected to iran in some way, is the message i got here. how does mousavi fit in with dr. yazdi, bush/gates and the october surprise?
