Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister who helped orchestrate George W. Bush’s disastrous U.S. war to destroy Iraq, is now deeply involved in U.S. President Donald Trump’s joint war with Israel against Iran.
On March 6, Blair told a private Jewish News event that Prime Minister Keir Starmer “should have backed America from the very beginning,” and let the Trump administration use British airbases to strike Iran—remarks he hadn’t expected to go public.
U.K.’s Byline Times then wrote on March 24 how “Revealed: Tony Blair’s ‘Dodgy Iran Dossier’ Helped Shape Trump War Plan.” Nafeez Ahmed, the monthly’s head of investigations, demonstrates that the Tony Blair Institute is interlocked with United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI)—the joint “Get Iran Task Force” led by top British oligarchs and intelligence agents, the Mossad, and American neocon war hawks since 2008, as EIR has documented.
Ahmed credits UANI’s January 2025 “100 Day Plan” for a war against Iran with feeding the U.S.-Israeli all-out war against Iran, noting, among other things, that U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth is listed (still!) as an advisor to UANI. Lo and behold, UANI’s director of research on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Kasra Aarabi “spent six years as Blair’s personal advisor on Iran at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) where he built its Iran program,” Byline Times reports, and when he shifted from the TBI to UANI in September 2023, he thanked Blair on his LinkedIn for “his mentorship and his dedication to the people of Iran.”
