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. Comments are closed.
