4/8/2026 A desperate U.S. and Israel resort to massacres immediately violating ceasefire as Iran crushes U.S. war objectivesRead Now The peace movement must continue building solidarity with Iran and the regional resistance, taking to the streets to call for the end of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran.
Not even 24 hours after the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and U.S.-Israel, the latter has violated several points on the agreement, notably the continuation of the aggression against Lebanon and the entry of Zionist drones in Iranian airspace. These continued violations only prove how desperate the US is in the face of an enemy it cannot defeat. It became clear to the Trump regime that it is unable to topple the Islamic Republic, which enjoys mass support in Iran, and which found ways to hurt the US not only militarily, through the targeting of U.S. bases and assets in the region, but also economically, by taking control of the Strait of Hormuz and targeting key oil infrastructure of U.S. allies in the Gulf. The human cost of this U.S.-Israeli war of aggression, with the support of the Gulf monarchies, has been staggering. As of April 7th, 3,636 people have been killed in Iran since the war started on February 28, with at least 254 children among the dead. The U.S. and Israel deliberately targeted hospitals and other medical facilities, schools, including the targeting of a girls' school in Minab that killed over 170 children in a single strike, and energy facilities, which led to widespread fires and toxic air in major cities like Tehran, a metropolis of over 10 million people. In Lebanon alone, Israeli strikes have killed 1,530 people since March 2, including at least 129 children, while more than 400 Hezbollah fighters have also fallen. In Iraq, at least 117 people have been killed. As the U.S. grows more isolated, with its allies in Europe and Asia refusing to help it militarily in this war of choice, Iran is able to impose its demands on the imperialist beast that underestimated its military capability and strategic thinking. Instead of ceding to the sovereignty of Iran, the U.S. and Israel choose instead to pursue a path of military destruction and massacres. But all the military might of the U.S. has proven to be ineffective in defeating the steadfastness of the people who continue to bravely give their lives to defend their land and nation. If the ceasefire with the U.S. announced by Iran on April 7th stands, it constitutes a strategic victory for Iran. This victory should open the way for negotiations on a permanent agreement to be held in Islamabad, based on a ten point framework proposed by Tehran. The truce, confirmed by Iranian authorities, includes initial commitments such as non-aggression guarantees, continued negotiations on the immediate and unconditional lifting of all illegal sanctions against Iran, and the full expulsion of U.S. military forces from the region. The actual implementation would represent a historical defeat to the imperialist project of domination in West Asia. If the ceasefire with the U.S.announced by Iran on April 7th stands, it constitutes a strategic victory against the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression against the country and the peoples of West Asia. Won through the unyielding resolve of the Iranian people and their state, who have been fighting fiercely against the U.S. Zionist war machine., this victory should open the way for negotiations on a permanent agreement to be held in Islamabad, based on a ten point framework proposed by Tehran. The truce, confirmed by Iranian authorities, includes initial commitments such as non-aggression guarantees, continued negotiations on the immediate and unconditional lifting of all illegal sanctions against Iran, and the full expulsion of U.S. military forces from the region. Nevertheless, after a month and two weeks of war, Iran and the resistance forces in Iraq and Lebanon have emerged from the conflict showing once again that despite decades of hybrid warfare, economic sanctions, and media smears against the Islamic Republic, it has been able to develop indigenous technology able to resist imperialist war and win against it. Built by the masses of Iranians, these defense systems have transformed the country into a formidable threat to imperialist hegemony, capable of downing and combating even the so called "invincible" F-35s. The same people who built these systems formed human chains on bridges and outside power plants this week to defend their nation from Trump's threats to "wipe out an entire civilization." In the face of genocidal rhetoric and military onslaught, the Iranian masses stood firm, proving that no advanced weapons system or economic blockade can break a people united in resistance. The ten points proposed by Iran, which will form the basis of the negotiations, prove that Iran gained the upper hand against the self proclaimed "most lethal and technological military in the world." As Trump scrambled to find an exit from a war he could not win, and as his attempts at regime change through decapitation of Iranian leadership resulted in the masses of people rallying around the Iranian flag, Iran emerged from the conflict with de facto control of the Strait of Hormuz and is now using that control to collect fees in Yuans from vessels that wish to use this maritime route, in order to finance reconstruction from war damages. The demands to which the U.S. has agreed as a framework for negotiations are further proof of Washington's defeat, as they include several provisions the U.S. has historically refused to even consider. The ten point plan includes:
These just demands see Iran continuing its legacy of support to the Palestinian and Lebanese people by demanding that Lebanon is included in the ceasefire and also the lifting of brutal sanctions imposed on Iran since the 1970s. These measures were not based on credible threats but rather false claims of nuclear weapons production and also as punishment for Iran’s fight against US domination and support for national liberation movements in West Asia such as in Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen. Despite Donald Trump calling the ten point agreement "a workable basis on which to negotiate," and despite the Pakistani defense minister, who helped broker the deal, stating that Lebanon would be included in the ceasefire, the White House and the Zionist entity have since backtracked on their own affirmations. U.S. officials have asserted that "the points do not match what Mr. Trump was referring to" and that "Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire." This position directly contradicts what all other parties involved have stated, with the sole exception of Israel, which reportedly begged Trump to remove Lebanon from the ceasefire at the last minute. Just hours after the U.S. Israeli war on Iran's ceasefire was announced, Israeli forces launched strikes on several densely populated commercial and residential areas in central Beirut without warning, killing hundreds of people and wounding more than 1,000 others. This blatant act of terror and violation of the very ceasefire the U.S. claimed to support proves once again that the U.S. war machine and its lackeys, like Israel, are the main obstacles to genuine peace in the world. War will exist as long as imperialism exists, and the resistance forces in West Asia continue to pose the greatest challenge to this economic system led by the U.S., a system that supports the existence of the settler colonial and genocidal entity of Israel. It is the duty of the peace loving people of the world to rally in support of this people's resistance, the line standing against full U.S. domination in the region. The Resist U.S.-Led War Movement calls on its members and allies to target the war profiteers enabling these genocides and wars against the people of West Asia and the world, like Boeing, Northrup Grumman, Lockheed Martin, PALANTIR, Bell and RTX or multinational mining and tech companies that build the systems and provide the natural resources. Protest U.S. and Zionist embassies, take to the streets, shut down U.S. military bases and blockade arms shipments to Israel and the Gulf monarchies. The people will not rest until every imperialist force is driven out of West Asia and the world.  by the Resist US-Led War Movement
After 15 months of daily violations of the so-called ceasefire between "Israel" and Hezbollah, on March 2nd Israel began an intensified bombardment campaign against the Lebanese people.Through "evacuation orders," bombardment, and attempts at ground invasion, the Israeli military has expanded its assault to more Beirut neighborhoods as well as a much larger portion of southern Lebanon and eastern Lebanon, displacing over 700,000 and killing an estimated 886 people including 111 children, 67 women, and 38 medical workers as of March 16th, mimicking strategies used during the Palestinian Nakba. In the past weeks, the popular resistance forces in Lebanon have opened a new front to defend against the brutal Zionist and US war of aggression that currently targets Iran but ultimately seeks to plunder and dominate all of West Asia. Hezbollah and other national liberation movements in Lebanon, Iraq, and beyond are fighting not only in defense of Iran but, more importantly, in defense of their land and for the liberation of their people. As history has shown, imperialist powers, from France and Britain to the United States, as well as the Zionist project, have brought only destruction and suffering to the people of Lebanon and West Asia. The division of the Arab world under the Sykes-Picot agreement between imperialists in 1916 to carve up the region, British colonization of Palestine, and French colonization of Lebanon directly paved the way for the Balfour Declaration, in which the British promised the land of the indigenous Palestinian people to the European colonialist Zionist movement. Throughout this history, the Lebanese people never accepted foreign domination. Their struggle for self-determination culminated in Lebanon asserting its independence on November 22, 1943, leading to the formal end of the French mandate. Yet despite achieving political independence, Lebanon remained burdened by the sectarian power-sharing system imposed by France, and by borders drawn by colonial powers to divide and weaken Arab nationalist sentiment. These artificial borders were meant to fragment a population united by language, culture, and anti-colonial aspirations. Today’s resistance is a continuation of that brave, decades-long anti-colonial struggle. From its inception, "Israel" has targeted the Lebanese people With a long shared border, Israel has repeatedly bombed, invaded, and displaced the people of Lebanon throughout the years. In 1948, when the Arab-Israeli war led to the creation of "Israel" and the Nakba, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced from their homes, with over 100,000 Palestinians seeking refuge in neighboring Lebanon. Today, approximately 479,000 Palestinian refugees are registered with the UN in Lebanon, with approximately 45% living in the country’s 12 refugee camps. Israel’s regime of settler-colonialism and apartheid has to this day denied Palestinian refugees worldwide their UN stipulated right of return and reparations under UN Resolution 194. In 1982, Israel conducted an invasion and the brutal siege of Beirut. For nearly three months, Israeli forces relentlessly bombed the city, cutting off food, water, and electricity to hundreds of thousands of civilians. An estimated 17,000 to 20,000 Lebanese and Palestinians were killed, the vast majority civilians, with entire neighborhoods leveled. During this invasion, Israeli-allied militias, with direct IOF support, committed the Sabra and Shatila massacre, slaughtering up to 3,500 Palestinian refugees in just three days. Though the resistance forced Israel to withdraw to a self-declared "security zone" in the south in 1985, the Zionist occupation continued for 15 years. During this period, Israel maintained the prison camp at Khiam where thousands were tortured, subjected border villages to daily raids and shelling, and killed over 1,500 Lebanese. The resistance finally forced a full and historic Israeli withdrawal in 2000, bringing hundreds of thousands of displaced people back to their lands. However, Israel continued to violate Lebanese sovereignty with constant overflights and border provocations, leading to the July War in 2006. This 34-day conflict killed more than 1,200 people in Lebanon, a third of them children, and displaced nearly one million. Under the newly applied Dahiya doctrine, Israel deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure across the entire country, bombing Beirut's airport, ports, roads, bridges, fuel storage tanks, factories, and entire neighborhoods in the southern suburbs. In the south, 300 buildings were destroyed and 130,000 people displaced overnight. Villages were systematically reduced to rubble, and cluster munitions dropped in the war's final hours left millions of unexploded bombs that continue to kill farmers and children to this day. As puppet governments and international institutions fail the Lebanese people, the popular resistance defends its land and sovereignty While the people of Lebanon have borne the weight of Zionist aggression for decades, international bodies and puppet governments have proven to be agents of imperialist and Zionist interests in the region. In 1983 for example, the May 17 Agreement, a US-brokered deal signed under Lebanese President Amine Gemayel, would have established full diplomatic relations with Israel in exchange for a partial withdrawal, but popular pressure from the Lebanese National Movement and the resistance forced the agreement's collapse, breaking with the comprador desire for normalization. Similar to the puppet governments, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), initially established in the 1970s during the brutal Lebanese Civil War, has sided with the Zionists and US imperialist interests while presenting itself as a neutral actor. By equating Lebanese and Palestinian national liberation forces with the fascist paramilitaries backed by the US, France, and Israel, the latter were able to operate with impunity and terrorize the people using weapons provided by the same foreign powers that armed UNIFIL itself. The result was that the genuine forces fighting for peace through national liberation were directly attacked and blamed for disrupting the UN's so-called "peace" mission. This travesty is being repeated today with the Lebanese governments own call to spark internal conflict against and disarm Hezbollah. It was the military operations of the resistance, a campaign of ambushes, tunnel networks, and direct military action, that in 2000 finally forced the Israeli occupation to withdraw from Lebanese land it had been holding since the 1980s. This historic victory was only possible because of the broad support of the masses of Lebanese people that are part of and support the resistance groups in Lebanon. These operations forced Israel to surrender occupied land without a single concession, exposing the fragility of the so-called "military superiority" and "invincible army" of Israel and sending it into forced retreat. When Israel launched its full-scale war and invasion in July 2006, expecting a swift and decisive campaign, the Zionists encountered Merkava tanks destroyed in the streets and villages of Lebanon as the resistance launched rockets that hit deep inside occupied Palestine. By the end of the July war, the Israeli Zionist military had failed to achieve a single one of its political and military objectives. Beyond the battlefield, the resistance operates a comprehensive social welfare network across Lebanon, including hospitals, schools, and the Jihad al-Binaa reconstruction foundation. In recent years, as Lebanon has been crushed by an economic collapse that international institutions have done little to alleviate, the resistance's role has expanded to providing subsidized bread, medicine, and fuel to families abandoned by a failing puppet state. The new Israeli offensive is another chapter of this settler colonial project The latest aggression by Israel is already one of the most brutal chapters in the long history of aggression against the Lebanese people. The Israeli army committed a massacre in the heart of Beirut early on 12 March, targeting a group of displaced Lebanese with drones and killing eight in the Ramlet al-Bayda beach area. A drone fired missiles near the sidewalks where scores of families displaced from various parts of the country had set up tents. The IOF has ordered the forced displacement of residents in almost the entire southern suburb of Beirut, as well as everywhere south of Al-Zahrani River. The area that Israel is attempting to forcibly expel of all residents now covers over 20% of Lebanon’s territory. Israel continues to use white phosphorus in residential areas in Lebanon. The toxic substance is used militarily to create smoke screens or illuminate targets. Its use in civilian areas is prohibited by international law because it causes severe injuries and fires difficult to control. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stated that tens of thousands of people from more than 100 towns and villages have received evacuation orders from Israel, which could constitute forced displacement prohibited by international law. "Collective shelters are filling rapidly, essential services are under pressure, and thousands of people remain on the move without adequate protection or assistance... Forced displacement may also amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes under international law," the statement said. Instead of fighting for its people, the Lebanese government issued a decision to ban the military activities of Hezbollah. The government added that any military activity by Hezbollah "no longer has legal coverage, and those participating in such activities will be in violation of the law," and called for immediate resumption of talks with Israel. The people must stand with the Lebanese masses striking at the heart of the Zionist occupation Once again, the Lebanese people and their resistance are taking the fight against settler colonialism and imperialism into their own hands. As rockets strike US-Israeli bases in occupied Palestine and fighters prevent Zionist helicopters from landing on their territory, they are not only targeting IOF units, they are confronting the entire Zionist project and the imperialist structure that sustains it. Just as the resistance dealt a historic blow to the Zionist entity in 2000 by forcing occupiers out of the self-declared "security zone," Iran and the resistance forces in Lebanon and Iraq are now legitimately targeting the network of US military bases across West Asia used to destabilize and launch wars on the whole region. This includes Israel itself, which functions as a de facto US military base and a launching pad for Washington's wars of aggression in West Asia. These bases have brought nothing but destruction and destabilization to the region, not the security that the US promised countries hosting them. For this reason, the resistance forces in Lebanon, opposing Israel's renewed offensive on their people, stand at the forefront of the struggle against the greatest enemy of peace in the world today: the United States and its imperialist ruling class. It is imperative that peace-loving people around the world reject these Zionist attacks in all their forms and build the broadest possible support for the Lebanese popular mass movement. In its many multitudes and tactics, this movement represents a genuine struggle for liberation, sovereignty, and a future free from US imperialist domination.  El Movimiento de Resistencia a la Guerra Dirigida por EE.UU. condena el ataque conjunto de la entidad sionista de "Israel" y los Estados Unidos contra la República Islámica de Irán. Israel nombró como objetivos el Ministerio de Inteligencia de Irán, el Ministerio de Defensa de Irán, la oficina del Líder Supremo, la Agencia de Energía Atómica de Irán y Parchín, un complejo militar iraní, incluyendo ataques aéreos en Isfahán, Qom, Lorestán, Karaj, Tabriz y Kermanshah. Los ataques reportados, lanzados desde barcos y bases estadounidenses en la región, ya han martirizado a personal del IRGC y herido a civiles. Este ataque ocurre después de años de punitivas medidas coercitivas unilaterales (sanciones) contra Irán y, en las últimas semanas, la mayor acumulación militar estadounidense en la región desde la Guerra del Golfo de 2003, con el objetivo de llevar a cabo un cambio de régimen en un país soberano.
Invitamos a todos sus miembros y a los movimientos populares en el mundo a protestar contra este ataque inmediatamente y a solidarizarse con Irán. La depravación de EE.UU. es absolutamente clara, ya que llevó a cabo los ataques en medio de las conversaciones con Irán en Ginebra, imponiendo exigencias imposibles en las negociaciones diplomáticas para distraer de sus verdaderas intenciones. El régimen de Trump vomitó mentiras descaradas sobre la intención de Irán de desarrollar armas nucleares, en la misma línea del falso pretexto de las "armas de destrucción masiva" que se usó para justificar la guerra de 2003 contra Irak. Trump también infundió miedo diciendo que el "régimen iraní busca matar" y que es una amenaza inminente para EE.UU. En las negociaciones de esta semana, EE.UU. nunca negoció de buena fe, con informes que indican que el ataque fue planeado hace meses y aprobado hace semanas, a pesar de que el congreso estadounidense no autorizó el ataque. Mientras el ministro de defensa israelí, Katz, afirma que "Israel ha lanzado un ataque preventivo contra Irán para eliminar las amenazas al Estado de Israel", los israelíes y los imperialistas son los culpables de las vidas asesinadas hasta hoy y de las que vendrán si esto escala a una guerra regional. Irán, en un acto legítimo de autodefensa, está preparado para contraatacar, habiendo ya lanzado misiles balísticos hacia Israel al momento de escribir esto. Katz dice que declaró un "estado de emergencia inmediato en todo el país", señalando planes para continuar los ataques israelíes. Este ataque conjunto entre EE.UU. y la entidad sionista prueba una vez más que la ocupación estadounidense-sionista es la fuerza más peligrosa, completamente fascista y genocida en el mundo actual, actuando como una extensión del imperialismo estadounidense en la región. Trump dijo: "Este régimen pronto aprenderá que nadie debe desafiar la fuerza y el poder de las fuerzas armadas de EE.UU.". Esto sigue a los ataques israelíes en el sur del Líbano y contra armas estratégicas de Hezbolá, por su resistencia contra la expansión sionista y los objetivos genocidas. Tras más de dos años de genocidio en Gaza y el violento cambio de régimen en Siria, que ahora coopera voluntariamente con EE.UU. y los sionistas abriendo su espacio aéreo para misiles estadounidenses y permitiendo la ocupación de su tierra por el ejército israelí, no puede haber duda sobre las intenciones de EE.UU. y los sionistas: establecer el "Gran Israel" y redibujar el mapa de Asia Occidental para garantizar un acceso sin desafíos a los recursos de la región. Irán fue atacado debido a su afirmación de independencia y oposición a los designios del imperialismo estadounidense para la región, siendo una de las expresiones más fuertes de esto su apoyo inquebrantable al pueblo palestino. La resistencia histórica de Palestina sigue siendo el corazón de este asunto. El pueblo palestino ha sacrificado más de 100,000 vidas desde el inicio de la operación Inundación de Al-Aqsa en su lucha por permanecer en su tierra y resistir la ocupación sionista. Hoy, mientras EE.UU. ataca Irán, Palestina sigue siendo bombardeada y sistemáticamente sometida a hambruna. Mientras los amantes de la paz en el mundo se solidarizan con Irán contra estos ataques descarados, debemos seguir uniendo fuerzas con el pueblo de Irán para solidarizarnos plenamente con la resistencia palestina y regional. Movimiento de Resistencia a la Guerra Dirigida por EE.UU. apoya incondicionalmente al pueblo de Irán y Palestina. Hacemos un llamado a nuestros miembros y socios en todo el mundo para que rechacen militantemente la agresión estadounidense-sionista contra Irán y para exponer y oponerse a EE.UU. como el principal terrorista en la región. Estemos listos para salir a las calles y construir amplias alianzas con todos los que luchan por el fin de las guerras lideradas por EE.UU. y la ocupación sionista y la agresión contra Asia Occidental. The Resist US-Led War Movement condemns the joint attack by the Zionist entity of "Israel" and the United States on the Islamic Republic of Iran. Israel named targets of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence, Iran's Ministry of Defense, the Supreme Leader's office, Iranian Atomic Energy Agency and Parchin, an Iranian military complex, including airstrikes on Isfahan, Qom, Lorestan, Karaj, Tabriz, and Kermanshah. Reported strikes, launched from ships and US bases in the region, have already martyred IRGC personnel and injured civilians. This attack comes after years of punishing unilateral coercive measures (sanctions) on Iran and in recent weeks the largest US military build-up in the region since the 2003 Gulf War, aimed at enacting regime change on a sovereign country.
Resist calls on all its members and peace loving people of the world to protest this attack immediately and to stand in solidarity with Iran. The depravity of the US is crystal clear, as it conducted strikes amidst talks with Iran in Geneva, placing impossible demands on the table to distract from its true intentions. The Trump regime spewed blatant lies about Iran's intention to develop nuclear weapons, in the same vein as the false pretense of "weapons of mass destruction" that was used to justify the 2003 war on Iraq. Trump also fear-mongered that the "Iranian regime seeks to kill" and is an imminent threat to the US. In talks this week, the US never negotiated in good faith, reports indicating that the attack was planned months ago and approved weeks ago, even though US congress did not authorize the strike. While the Israeli Defense Minister Katz claims "Israel has launched a preemptive attack on Iran to remove threats to the State of Israel," the Israelis and imperialists are to blame for the lives lost up to now and those to come if this escalates to a regional war. Iran, in a legitimate act of self-defense, is prepared to strike back already launching ballistic missiles towards Israel as of this writing. Katz says he declared an “immediate state of emergency throughout the entire country,” signaling plans for continuing Israeli attacks. This joint strike between the US and the Zionist entity proves once again that the US-Zionist occupation is the most dangerous, utterly fascist and genocidal force in the world today, acting as an extension of US imperialism in the region. Trump said: "This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the US armed forces." This follows Israeli strikes on Southern Lebanon and strategic weapons of Hezbollah, for its resistance against Zionist expansionism and genocidal objectives. Following over two years of genocide in Gaza and violent regime change in Syria, which is now willingly cooperating with the US and Zionists by opening up its airspace for American missiles and allowing occupation of its land by the Israeli military, there can be no doubt as to the US' and Zionists' intentions: to establish "Greater Israel" and redraw the map of West Asia to ensure unchallenged access to the region's resources. Iran was targeted because of its assertion of independence from and opposition to US imperialism's designs for the region, with one of Iran's strongest expressions of this being its unwavering support for the Palestinian people. The historic resistance of Palestine remains at the heart of this matter. The Palestinian people have sacrificed over 100,000 lives since the start of the Al Aqsa Flood operation in their fight to remain on their land and resist the Zionist occupation. Today, as the US strikes Iran, Palestine is still being bombed and systematically starved. As the peace-loving people of the world stand with Iran against these blatant attacks, we must continue to join arm and arm with the people of Iran in standing in full solidarity with the Palestinian and regional resistance. Resist US-Led War stands wholeheartedly with the people of Iran and Palestine. We call on our members and partners around the world to militantly reject the US-Zionist aggression on Iran and to expose and oppose the US as the #1 terrorist in the region. Let us be ready to take to the streets and build broad alliances with everyone struggling for the end of US-led wars and the Zionist occupation of and aggression against West Asia. El Movimiento de Resistencia a la Guerra Dirigida por EE. UU. expresa su inquebrantable confianza en el pueblo cubano y su liderazgo revolucionario para superar la "máxima presión" impuesta por Estados Unidos. Esta política contra Cuba va más allá de un embargo tradicional, ya de por sí mortal, para convertirse en un bloqueo integral de petróleo y finanzas, cuyo objetivo es paralizar por completo los sectores turístico y médico de Cuba.
Donald Trump ha intensificado su bloqueo criminal contra Cuba al firmar una orden ejecutiva el 29 de enero. Esta orden declaró una emergencia nacional con respecto a Cuba y permitió al gobierno estadounidense imponer nuevas sanciones económicas a cualquier nación que realice comercio de petróleo con la nación caribeña. Esta medida llega poco después de las acciones militares de EE. UU. en Venezuela, que incluyeron invasión, bombardeos y el secuestro de su presidente, lo que perturbó una de las alianzas clave de Cuba en la región. Venezuela, históricamente el principal proveedor de petróleo de Cuba, se ha visto obligada a suspender sus envíos a la isla. Además, EE. UU. ha confiscado ilegalmente buques tanque sospechosos de navegar hacia Cuba, desde el Mar Caribe hasta lugares tan lejanos como el Océano Índico, y ha declarado una mayor guerra económica contra cualquier estado que haga negocios con Cuba. Esta inmensa escalada del bloqueo de décadas de EE. UU. contra Cuba ha provocado una de las crisis energéticas más severas en la historia del país. Cuba ha tenido que limitar los vuelos civiles y comerciales debido a la falta de combustible de aviación, debilitando aún más la libre circulación del pueblo y la capacidad del país para importar bienes. Los apagones de electricidad han afectado no solo a los hogares particulares, sino también a escuelas, hospitales y la producción económica. Las dificultades existentes para el pueblo cubano, impuestas por las sanciones y el bloqueo de EE. UU., han alcanzado ahora niveles asfixiantes. Al atacar a la población cubana y buscar deteriorar su nivel de vida, la estrategia de EE. UU. es sembrar un mayor colapso económico y agitación política para provocar un cambio de régimen. EE. UU. ha realizado cientos de intentos fallidos de derrocar la revolución cubana, con intentos de asesinato e invasiones militares frustradas. El pueblo ha construido firmemente alternativas a las sanciones y el bloqueo de EE. UU., a pesar de los diabólicos esfuerzos estadounidenses por aplastar el proyecto de construir y sostener el socialismo en la nación. Al considerar a toda América Latina y el Caribe, su pueblo y sus recursos, como parte del dominio legítimo de EE. UU., Trump busca desestabilizar aún más al país como parte de su estrategia para "reclutar" y "expandir" socios de EE. UU. en la región que sean dóciles a los fines imperialistas. El Movimiento de Resistencia a la Guerra Dirigida por EE. UU. continuará movilizando a los pueblos y a las fuerzas progresistas en todo el mundo para intensificar la solidaridad con Cuba y trabajar para romper el bloqueo, apoyando los esfuerzos internacionales para asegurar las necesidades energéticas y médicas de la isla. Este 21 de marzo se llevará a cabo una manifestación y entrega de ayuda humanitaria, paneles solares y suministros médicos organizados por la Flotilla Nuestra América que navega, vuela y se moviliza hacia Cuba. La promoción de iniciativas para presionar a las autoridades locales y a los funcionarios políticos para revertir las órdenes ejecutivas de Trump a corto plazo, y las iniciativas de movilización masiva en EE. UU. a largo plazo para eliminar las medidas coercitivas y poner fin al asedio contra Cuba, también son fundamentales para aumentar la oposición masiva contra el asedio estadounidense a Cuba. The Resist US-Led War Movement expresses our unwavering confidence in the Cuban people and their revolutionary leadership to overcome the "maximum pressure" imposed by the US. This policy against Cuba, moves beyond a traditional embargo that was already deadly to a comprehensive oil and financial blockade aimed at completely crippling Cuba's tourism and medical sectors.
Donald Trump has intensified his criminal blockade on Cuba by signing an executive order on January 29, this order declared a national emergency with respect to Cuba and allowed the U.S. government to impose new economic sanctions on any nation engaging in oil trade with the Caribbean nation. This move comes shortly after US military actions in Venezuela, including invasion, bombing, and the abduction of its president, disrupted one of Cuba's key alliances in the region. Venezuela, historically the main oil supplier to Cuba, has now been forced to halt its shipments to the island. Additionally, the US has illegally seized oil tankers suspected to be sailing to Cuba from the Caribbean Sea to as far as the Indian Ocean, and has declared further economic warfare against any state that does business with Cuba. This immense escalation of the decades-long US blockade of Cuba has led to one of the most severe energy crises in the country's history. Cuba has had to limit civilian and commercial flights due to lack of jet fuel, weakening further people's freedom of movement and the ability of the country to import goods. Electricity cuts have impacted not only private homes but schools, hospitals, and economic production. The existing hardships on the Cuban people imposed by US sanctions and blockade has now reached suffocating levels. In targeting the Cuban population and aiming to deteriorate their living standards, the US strategy is to sow further economic collapse and political turmoil to prompt regime change. The US has made hundreds of unsuccessful attempts at overthrowing the Cuban revolution, with assassination attempts and failed military invasions. The people have steadfastly built alternatives to the US sanctions and blockade, in spite of diabolical US efforts to crush the project of building and sustaining socialism in the nation. Viewing all of Latin America and the Caribbean people and resources as part of the US's rightful domain, Trump seeks to further destabilize the country as part of its strategy to "enlist" and "expand" US partners in the region subservient to imperialist aims. Resist US-Led War will continue to mobilize freedom-loving people and progressive forces worldwide to intensify solidarity with Cuba and work to break the embargo, supporting international efforts to secure the island's energy and medicine needs. This March 21 there will be a demonstration and delivery of humanitarian aid, solar panels and medical supplies organized by the Nuestra America Flotilla sailing, flying and mobilizing to Cuba. Advocacy to pressure local authorities and political officials to overturn Trump's executive orders in the short term, and mass mobilization initiatives in the US in the long term to drop the coercive measures and end the siege against Cuba are also critical to raise the mass opposition against the US siege on Cuba. 1/25/2026 Down with U.S. Repackaged Colonialism: Trump's Board of peace serves consolidation of power and profitable management through violenceRead Now  DOWN WITH US REPACKAGED COLONIALISM!
DEFEND PALESTINIAN RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION! The Resist US-Led War movement stands in resolute opposition to the Trump government's attempt to repackage the genocide of the Palestinian people into a financial venture under its newly unveiled "Board of Peace." This so-called "board," launched at the Davos summit, is a colonial blueprint for Gaza’s future, a direct assault on international law in an attempt to once again bend the world to the will of US imperialism. This "vision" serves to legitimize the ongoing "Israeli" genocide while systematically dismantling the legitimate Palestinian armed resistance through a combination of military intervention, economic coercion and psychological warfare. It is also the desperate gambit of a declining empire, abandoning the pretense of rules based international order and its institutions like the UN it once championed, to a more overt form of domination and control over strategic zones it is steadily losing to key rivals, namely Russia and China. The "Board of Zionists" The roster and administration for this so called "board of peace", an instrument designed to oversee the pacification and colonial administration of Gaza in the wake of Israel’s ongoing genocidal war, is a caricature of imperialist fantasy. Trump has appointed himself chairman with a life-long term, demanding a $1 billion entry fee from any state wishing to join, with all funds to be directly controlled by the White House. The board's composition has fully backed the "Israel" war of genocide against the Palestinian people and has a recorded history of contributing to the "Israeli" settler colonial project way before 2023. Its founding coalition of warlords and finance capitalists includes former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose legacy is most known for his staunch support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq justified by the US and allies over false claims of "chemical weapons production" and subsequent actions of the war on terror that killed millions in West Asia. Blair aligned with the US and "Israel" to boycott Hamas after its 2006 electoral victory, while his institute has proudly accepted funds from donors linked to illegal "Israeli" settlements. Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law and the architect of the “Century Deal” that proposed annexing West Bank settlements, was instrumental in the Abraham Accords, which attempts to normalize relations between Arab nations and the Zionist entity. He has since suggested forcibly relocating Gazans to the Negev desert to "clean up" Gaza so Israel could "finish the job." His associate Aryeh Lightstone, a former senior aide to pro settlement ambassador David Friedman, now assists Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, a billionaire real estate investor with no diplomatic experience whose ceasefire proposal was fully coordinated with "Israel" and avoids guaranteeing an end to the war on Gaza so that "Israel" can re-start its slaughter at any time without accountability. Completing this circle is Josh Gruenbaum, elevated to a senior role in the "Board of Peace" despite having no foreign policy background, who rose to prominence by leading a crackdown on US universities over pro-Palestinian activism on campuses, threatening to revoke federal contracts over what he called “anti-Semitic” speech. Also included in the initial roster of participating states are comprador regimes and anti-people governments aligned with US interests like reactionary Gulf monarchies. Amongst those invited is chief architect of the war of genocide on Palestine, "Israeli" prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On the very day of its announcement of the "Board of Peace," Israeli military forces killed eleven Palestinians in Gaza, among them two children and three members of the press. Simultaneously, Israeli warplanes conducted a major bombardment across southern Lebanon, targeting the towns of Qennarit, Kfour, Jarjou’, al-Kharayeb, and Ansar. These attacks, amount to the continued "Israeli" violations to the ceasefire signed in October. Since then, "Israel" has violated the truce more than 1,200 times, killing more than 450 Palestinians, restricting vital aid, and blocking all reconstruction from happening. In response, the US has refused to recognize a single violation, instead rewarding this campaign of terror by inviting Netanyahu to sit on its "board of peace." Trying to Make a Business Out of Gaza The "Sunrise Plan," the official branding for Trump's proposed "reconstruction" of Gaza, was also presented at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. Drafted by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, the plan unveiled in a PowerPoint to investors and other governments repackages the ethnic cleansing and ongoing genocide of Palestinians into a four-phase, twenty-year project to transform Gaza into a "smart city" and "Middle Eastern Riviera." This “vision” seeks to dismantle Gaza’s identity as a center of Palestinian resistance and memory, rebranding the besieged enclave as an investment opportunity for major US corporations. This plan, built over the bodies of Palestinians, promises profits in civil construction, AI, and tourism and it is predicated in the total disarmament of Palestinian resistance, which would leave the Palestinian people at the mercy of the very institutions that have pursued their subjugation through settler-colonialism since 1948 and before, as well as the same people who continue to wage a genocidal war against them. The project explicitly calls for massive investment from Western and Gulf-based financial stakeholders turning Gaza's reconstruction into a speculative venture for the world's biggest capitalists. By sharing the plan with key Gulf partners to "deliberate and exploit the opportunity," and turn occupied Palestine ravaged by war and genocide into the "the world’s most iconic destination," the US aims to turn a beacon of hope for all subjugated people of the world living under the boot of US imperialism into paradise for consumption and finance capital built atop the ruins of a whole people. Trump Peace is the People's Demise With the "Board of Peace" Trump continues to propagandize himself as a reliable and honest force that will bring peace to West Asia. But after continued funding for "Israel's" genocidal war and political and moral backing for the Zionist occupation, Trump's populist presidential campaign slogans to bring "peace to the middle east" have been fully unmasked to the vast majority of the world. As Zionists seek to complete the erasure of the Palestinian people, the US does whatever it must to keep the project of the occupation alive and strong so as to fulfill their interests in the region and unleash a war of aggression against Iran and the forces of the Axis of Resistance. Project Sunrise is nothing more than an appeasement to US monopoly capitalists in real-estate empire to invest in the so-called "re-development" of Gaza, a project that could only be fulfilled after the defeat of the resistance and the complete ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. This is not a new way of thinking for US imperialism and even though Trump was the one to ride on the bandwagon of "President of Peace," the US has always viewed conflict resolution as just another business deal, not a genuine end to the root causes of conflict. US imperialists are always looking for more profits, not peace. Trump's so-called "peace presidency" follow this same trend, and US corporations, financial investors, and other war profiteers continue to line up to collect their payout over the bodies of those killed by US-led war. An empire in decline switches rules-based order to all-out imperialist offensive The "Board of Peace" also represents an escalation in the US project to strip away all remaining constraints on its imperialist aims. While US policy has long sidestepped international law, the UN Charter, and the very multilateral systems it built and championed as it aided in their exploitation, its current crisis, marked by strategic decline in the face of growing inter-imperialist competition, has rendered even the facade of a "rules-based order" too cumbersome to maintain. Launched under the cover of the Gaza ceasefire, this body is, in practice, the opposite of its name. Trump has framed it as a “bold new approach to resolving global conflicts.” However, its true aims are to consolidate full US control over its policies and actions, placing Trump himself as its chairman for life. This move follows his explicit dismissal of international law, having declared that only his “own morality” will curtail the bellicose policies he is advancing worldwide, a statement made following the unlawful abduction of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro. In reality the US has long operated on a doctrine only imposing international law when it served its narrative while ignoring any mandate against itself positioning the US as the de-facto king of the world under a façade of a rules -based order. One has to just remember the US dismissal of the International Criminal Court or its covert war in Nicaragua. Treaties on climate and nuclear diplomacy are treated as temporary concessions, discarded the moment they conflict with US objectives. Since the post-war era, international law has been a weapon used against adversaries and a shield ignored for itself. The role-play depended on the complicity of its imperialist allies particularly in Europe, who for decades nurtured the fiction of a benevolent hegemon bound by the same rules it enforced on others. That fiction is now dissolving, revealing what the US always was. The US-"Israeli" war on the Palestinian people has put the final nail in the coffin in the façade of international law and allowed the US to test the limits of how far it could go with its barbarity. The Western nations led by the US have maintained steadfast support for Israel throughout its military campaign in Gaza, a war which Palestinian authorities report has resulted in at least 71,000 fatalities with hundreds thousands still to be dug out from under the ruble. This continued backing of the US for the first ever live-streamed genocide even as the International Criminal Court seeks the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu allowed the US to expand the idea of how far it could go without being stopped by its western allies. Only Palestinians Can Decide Their Fate Through immense and unyielding sacrifice, the steadfast resistance forces and the unified free and sovereign people in Palestine and its allies in Lebanon, Yemen Iran and beyond persist as the sole force capable of obstructing the brutal machinery of empire in West Asia. As international law failed the Palestinian people for decades, the Resistance carried the banner of justice and self-determination, giving their life for the struggle for a just peace. The resistance and its factions stand united against the US war machine’s insatiable drive for profit and the Zionist project’s genocidal logic of expansion. The resistance has consistently demonstrated that no ceasefire or political plan will be accepted if it demands the Palestinian people surrender their fundamental right to represent themselves and fight for their own liberation. The global movement for justice must stand in unwavering solidarity with this essential defense of self-determination, recognizing it as a frontline struggle against imperialism itself. The so-called “Board of Peace” serves as further proof that US imperialism has never sought peace, only the consolidation of power and a profitable management through violence. It is a tool designed not to end war, but to dismantle the resistance and secure colonial control and open markets for plunder. 1/8/2026 U.S. Imperialism Drives ICE Terror and Wars of Aggression! Justice for Renee Nicole Good and All Victims of Trump's War on MigrantsRead Now U.S. imperialism drives ICE terror and wars of aggression! Justice for Renee Nicole Good and all victims of Trump's war on migrants!
The Resist US-Led War Movement condemns in the strongest terms the vile shooting and murder of Renee Nicole Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on January 7th in Minneapolis. Renee was courageously acting as a legal observer during ICE raids, standing in solidarity with and attempting to protect her migrant neighbors. This brutal assassination occurred amidst the Trump regime’s deployment of thousands of federal agents to Minneapolis and many other cities in the US, a move that further escalates its ongoing campaign of terror against migrant communities. This killing is not an isolated incident, but another chapter in the centuries-long war waged by the US state against the migrant, Indigenous and Black working class. In this war, since its invention after 2001, ICE has consistently functioned as a domestic enforcement arm of imperial policy, utilizing tactics from tear gas and kidnapping to mass detention and assassinations. In fact, the weapon that killed Renee is part of a broader arsenal funded by the $1 trillion US military budget, a budget that fuels global counterinsurgency operations and military aid to US puppet governments, from the fascist regimes of India and the Philippines to the Zionist entity occupying Palestine. It is this same militarized logic that drives Trump's openly fascist immigration policies that target migrants and left-leaning movements equally as "enemies of the state." By enacting state repression, criminalization repression, criminalization of migrants and activists, and an "anti-terror" narrative, the regime builds on the Bush and Obama "War on Terror" doctrine that killed millions worldwide. These wars of aggression, referred to by the US as "counter insurgency" wars and "wars on terror," are used to further enhance ICE capabilities. The surveillance and tracking technologies employed by ICE are battle-tested in Gaza and the West Bank. The media tactics of scapegoating migrants for economic crises are refined through propaganda wars against revolutionary movements in the Philippines and India as well as to justify the invasion of Venezuela. Imperial violence abroad informs and sharpens state repression inside US borders, and the profits reaped by weapons and war corporations fuel further aggression on all fronts. The empire's concept of “peace” which they wield to justify endless wars exists for the maintenance of a status-quo of day-to-day exploitation imposed through terror and subjugation for the benefit of the ruling classes. As Trump threatens Iran by saying the US is "locked and loaded" if "Iran shoots peaceful protestors" in the country, his regime's ICE paramilitary force assassinates a legal observer standing with migrants in Minneapolis. The US's actions continue to expose the fact that all of these wars, abroad and domestically, serve the ruling capitalist class. It covers itself in the language of "human rights" to justify aggression abroad whenever it fits their profit-making motives while unleashing its most brutal violence against the oppressed nationalities and working classes within its own borders. Fighting for just and lasting peace means standing in solidarity with migrant families in the US resisting state violence and fighting for liberation back in our home countries! Migrant and Anti-war movements must be united arm in arm against the US militarism that fuels wars on our homelands and inside the US and fight for a future of the hands of the war profiteers and fascist strongmen! SHUT DOWN ICE STOP US COUNTERINSURGENCY CAMPAIGNS AND FASCISM DEFEND PEOPLES" STRUGGLES STOP THE US WAR ON MIGRANTS 1/8/2026 Stop the bombings in the Philippines! Release Chantal Anicoche! Justice for the Mangyan 5!Read Now Stop the bombings in the Philippines! Release Chantal Anicoche! Justice for the Mangyan 5!
On January 1, the Armed Forces of the Philippines launched a major attack on Barangay Cabacao in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro. In a clear violation of international humanitarian law, four attack helicopters dropped at least twelve bombs, followed by hours of aerial strafing, terrorizing the peasant and Indigenous Mangyan communities. The AFP’s attacks killed 3 Mangyan children, injured their mother, and forcibly displaced 188 families from the area. It also led to the death of at least 2 student researchers who had been integrating with the Mangyan community to more deeply understand their conditions. One of these youth was Jerlyn Rose Doydora, a leader with Kabataan Partylist, who died from an illness while trying to escape from the relentless bombing in the area. According to Mindoro Youth for Environment and Nation, the AFP is the “main threat to Mindoro’s environment and people.” “Militarization is a grave attack on the people’s rights for a safe, balanced, and sustainable environment,” the group said in its statement. “Military presence is repeatedly being used not to protect the people but to secure disingenuous projects like mining, renewable energy projects, and eco-tourism that only serves the interests of the few.” We have learned from media reports that Chantal Anicoche, the 24-year-old Filipina community leader from the United States, who was reported missing at the time of the military attacks in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro, has been surfaced. She traveled to the Philippines to learn from Indigenous communities and participate in volunteer and relief activities related to environmental disasters and rural poverty. Chantal should be safely returned to her family, she should be immediately released from the custody of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and she should be protected from any form of torture, interrogation, threat, harassment, and intimidation from any unit of the AFP. This treatment is consistent with military counterinsurgency campaigns like President Marcos' “National Action Plan for Unity, Peace, and Development” (NAP-UPD) recently adopted May 2, 2025. These counterinsurgency campaigns are deceptively-worded fascist policies that have only led to increased human rights violations against the Filipino people and fail to address the root causes of the ongoing armed conflict in the Philippines. At least 16,733 individuals were victims of alleged human rights abuses in Mindoro from January to November 2025. The NAP-UPD has intensified political repression to attack anyone who is critical of the Marcos regime. These state-sponsored acts of psychological warfare sow confusion and fear among those who support change from the rotten political system and fight for a genuine just and lasting peace. The NAP-UPD comes right off the US playbook for counterinsurgency while being fully funded and backed by this imperialist power. Its legacy, like in the recent case in Mindoro, is one of harassment, the militarization of the civilian bureaucracy as part of counterinsurgency operations, direct attacks on activists, and increased protection of the interests for the local elite and foreign domination. The US National Defense Authorization act just passed the PERA Act which will fund 2.5 billion in military aid to the AFP which commits these gross human rights violations. The US does this to maintain its colonial control over the country in partnership with the local ruling classes, to use its land and people in its wars of aggression against its rivals, namely China, and exploit the labor and natural resources of the country. Right now, the military blockade continues in the area. We urgently demand that a humanitarian corridor be opened, allow a fact finding mission in to investigate and expose the extent of the bombing and strafing, and that Chantal Anicoche be released from AFP custody! Release Chantal! Palayain si Chantal! Stop the bombings! Defend Mindoro! Justice for the Mangyan 5! Justice for Jerlyn Doydora! Justice for the 188 families displaced by the bombings! |
