Stand with Iran and the People of West Asia, End Imperialist Wars

The Resist US-Led War Movement condemns in the strongest terms the U.S. government’s criminal bombing of Iran’s civilian nuclear facilities, an act of naked aggression that marks a dangerous escalation from proxy warfare to direct imperialist assault.

From the beginning, the U.S. orchestrated this war, arming "Israel" to the teeth, green-lighting its attacks, and only intervening directly when Iran’s fierce resistance proved too much for its puppet forces to handle. As Trump boasts of a "spectacular military success" the reality is clear: The U.S. attack on Iran, a sovereign nation, failed to reach its objectives, as the Fordow nuclear facility was only partially damaged. Trump brazenly stated "Now is the time for peace," while striking at any force that fights for genuine peace in the region. US aggression only fuels more war across West Asia.  As said by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "Everyone must understand that we pursued diplomacy, but the United States and the Zionist regime launched aggressive attacks on Iran."

Iran stands in the way of complete US dominance over West Asia. It disrupts the US's oil and gas monopoly and has acted in solidarity with the people of Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and the whole region as a key leader in the Axis of Resistance to Zionist occupation and expansionism. Iran is asserting its independence in a multipolar world while the US reels in crisis and economic downturn as it longs for the days of being the world's unipolar superpower. As Iran targets Tel Aviv, Haifa and other occupied territories it fights  and weakens the main enemy of peoples' movements for just peace in the region: the Zionist entity - an outpost of the US in west Asia. For these reasons the US has provoked a war with Iran.

The US is repeating the same move that it made in 2003 when it falsely claimed that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons. What followed was a brutal US invasion and occupation that tore the country apart, killed close to 1 million people, devastated the infrastructure including hospitals and schools, and has left the country's people in political chaos and dependency to US oil and development companies to this day. The US wants to see Iran and its people suffer the same fate.

But like with Iraq, the US has committed an act that will drag it further down in its own spiraling collapse. The US under Trump, just as under previous regimes, is mired in deep political and economic crisis from being overstretched and engaged in endless wars. This attack on Iran exacerbates the crisis, as the US will pour even more money into waging war, either directly or by continuing to arm the Zionist entity to do its bidding. 

The people of the world must take to the streets and stand in  solidarity with Iran and its people as they assert their self-defense and independence against US and Zionist aggression. We must militantly fight against the US dragging the world into an open war that could escalate even further  as the US continues to provoke more wars to protect its position as number one imperialist of the world. Let us broadly unite with all peoples and all nations against the horrific threat of US-led war and together fight for a just and lasting peace.

Hands off Iran and the people of West Asia!
End imperialist wars!
US out of the Middle East!
Struggle for just peace!
