Fight U.S. imperialism! Defend Iran’s sovereignty!

We live in the center of the empire, so it is important that we fight against the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran and West Asia. Our job is to defend Iranian sovereignty from the U.S, which has carried out a decades-long campaign of sanctions, sabotage, assassinations and propaganda designed to undermine the Islamic Republic and stifle any possibility of self-determination for the Iranian people. 

Our task is to attack the aggressive U.S. imperialist war on Iran and oppose calls for regime change. Our task is to assist revolutionary and sovereign governments, defend their revolutions, not echo critiques that advance U.S. and Israeli interests nor lecture people defending themselves under siege.

U.S. sanctions were imposed on Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, when the Iranian people overthrew a U.S.-backed monarch and chose an independent path outside Washington’s control. For decades, Iran has been subjected to financial isolation, banking blockades, oil and trade restrictions and collective punishment deliberately targeting civilians.

Sanctions are economic warfare. They produce currency collapse, inflation, medicine shortages, infrastructure strain and long-term social instability.

No country can “reform” or freely determine its future while it is under sustained attack by external enemies determined to subjugate it. What Western media call “protests” are in fact imperialist-backed armed riots, coordinated arson, sabotage and acts of terrorism against civilians and public infrastructure.

Tech mogul Elon Musk enabled Starlink as a communications backbone for U.S.-Israeli-backed riot networks which facilitate coordination with foreign handlers and evasion of security measures. To provide infrastructure for armed U.S.-Israeli-backed groups inside a sovereign country means to participate in attempted regime change. It is not “free speech.”

The real protests involve millions of Iranians fighting against U.S. imperialism and Zionism, defending their sovereignty and rejecting foreign domination.

The U.S. is increasing its attacks on Iran, because Iran refuses to kneel before the U.S., and because it has been a longtime ally of the Palestinian people. We see that the U.S. is attacking nations around the world whose people are confronting U.S. imperialism. Why are there so many U.S. bases in the Middle East with 50,000 or more U.S. military personnel?

This is not a situation where “two truths can exist at the same time.” That liberal canard blurs political lines. There are only two sides when it comes to imperialist war.

If there were any doubts that U.S. imperialism was in an advanced state of irreversible decline, Iran has put those doubts to rest. In early July, between 41 million and 43 million people across Iran and Iraq attended the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, who was assassinated on Feb. 28 by Israel. 

What was Ayatollah Khamenei’s crime? Leading and developing a strong, anti-imperialist country that has ushered in a turning point for the deadly U.S. war machine.

Sanctions kill. Support Iran!

Reject regime change.

Expose the lies. Anything less is siding with the empire.
