Statement of the ILPS
The
International League of Peoples’ Struggle strongly condemns the
resumption of US-Zionist bombings against Iran. This is yet another
blatant aggression by US imperialism and its Zionist attack dogs against
an independent nation in West Asia that has stood against their rule
for 47 years.
In the morning of February 28, “Israeli”
airstrikes hit military targets and civilian areas of Tehran, destroying
infrastructure and injuring civilians. This was then followed by more
airstrikes in the regions of Qom, Khorammabad, Esfahan, Tabriz,
Kermanshah, Ilam, Lorestan, and Karaj. Iranian news agencies also
experienced massive cyber attacks. US news reported that dozens of
strikes by US aircraft were carried out from bases around West Asia and
from an aircraft carrier.
Iran launched a
counter-attack of missiles against the Zionist entity as well as US
bases in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, naming
the operation “True Promise 4” after the previous 3 missile operations
it launched against the entity since the launching of the Palestinian Al
Aqsa Flood operation.
Israel Katz of the Zionist
Security Ministry announced that this was a joint operation between
“Israel” and the US and that the operation was planned for months and
the launch date was decided weeks ago. This comes as the US and Iran
were engaged in diplomatic talks over Iran’s civilian nuclear program
and the lifting of US economic sanctions, showing that the US used the
talks as an act of deception and never intended to come to a diplomatic
agreement with Iran. Just as in June 2025, the US proved again that it
is an untrustworthy actor seeking only to maintain its global hegemony
by whatever forms of aggression it deems necessary. The US has also been
spreading false information about Iran in the public media, claiming
without evidence during the US State of the Union address that Iran
possessed missiles capable of hitting the continental United States and
repeated many times the lie that Iran seeks to build a nuclear weapon, a
fact the Iranian government has denied countless times. The
similarities between this attack and the lies leading up to the 2003 US
invasion of Iraq are many, with recent US military build-up in West Asia
being the largest ever since 2003.
This attack comes
at a crucial time, as the Zionists continue to carry out their project
of genocide and ecocide against the people of Palestine. Their attack on
Iran was initially named “Shield of the Judea” as a means to whip up
religious hysteria to instigate further hatred and warmongering within
their fascist mass base, but was quickly renamed to not anger the people
of the Arab monarchies, thus avoiding uprisings in the kingdoms that
pledged their loyalties to the Zionist entity, betraying their people
for their own slice of regional power. Meanwhile, the US seeks to build
its farcical “Board of Peace” on the ruins of Gaza as an alternative to
the UN system on the myth of Trump “ending wars” that he himself
started, including against Iran. The move also is a response to rival
development projects by China and Russia in the region that the US seeks
to disrupt. Meanwhile, the forces of the Axis of Resistance in
Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and throughout the region have been
regaining their strength and have vowed to fight back against continued
US and Zionist aggression. This joint US-Zionist attack on Iran is a
desperate move after months of hybrid warfare against Iran, their number
one rival in the region, to attempt to remove one of the largest
barriers to full imperialist and Zionist control over West Asia.
The
ILPS stands with the people of Iran as they resist this blatant
imperialist aggression. The League calls on its members to take to the
streets in the millions to denounce this US-led war and to express their
solidarity with Iran through continued actions, education, propaganda,
and other forms of support for the Iranian people’s just fight against
imperialist intervention and in defense of their sovereignty.
Signed,
International League of Peoples’ Struggle
