Condemn US-Israeli Terrorist Aggression on Iran!
Fight for an Anti-Imperialist, Secular and Democratic Iran!
1. We strongly condemn the attack launched on the morning of February 28 against Iran by Trump-led US imperialism and its pet dog in the Middle East, the Zionist fascist Israel.
It has been reported that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with several top political and military leaders, has been killed.
Carrying out terrorist attacks inside a different country to assassinate top leaders is a gross violation of international law. Through this, US imperialism has once again proven itself to be a deadly enemy of the countries, nations and people of the entire world. Recently in Latin America, US imperialism kidnapped the President of Venezuela through a terrorist operation inside the country and took him to their own soil. Such incidents are extremely rare in modern history.
The way US imperialism, under the leadership of the fascist Trump, is carrying out such terrorist thuggery across the globe indicates that the Iran incident is not the end. Rather, these are ongoing processes of implementing a new world plan. The objective is to attack countries, nations and people to loot resources and suppress people’s struggles on one hand, while strengthening its own position against rival imperialist groups on the other.
We call upon all revolutionary, progressive, democratic, and humanist forces, organizations, individuals, and the masses at home and abroad to build protest and resistance against US imperialism and its boot licking lackeys.
2. As part of the intensifying conflict between the US-led Western imperialists and the China-Russia axis for global hegemony, this represents a preparation for a potential Third World War from their side.
US imperialism has launched desperate efforts through a grand project to establish and maintain its authority against the economic, political, and military influence of Russia and China, particularly in key Middle Eastern countries. To weaken and oust opposing regimes that are oil-rich and militarily strong, it previously carried out ‘regime change’ in Syria. Recently, it attacked Iran again and killed several important leaders. It cleared the path for its dominance by using Israel to carry out a barbaric genocide in Gaza, Palestine. It has weakened various militant groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, who are linked to or associated with the Russia-China bloc. Since Iran is an oil-rich and powerful military force, it has always been a target. Thus, they took this step again by exploiting the righteous movement of the masses, including students and women, against the religious fascist rulers. They are not allies of these oppressed people; rather, they are a despicable national enemy using the legitimate outrage of the people.
3. It can be clearly inferred that the primary US objective is regime change in Iran. In this case, the US excuse is that the Iranian ruling group is fascist and is creating a threat to US interests in the Middle East by developing nuclear bombs.
There is no need to explain that these are the excuses of a villain. There is no doubt that the Iranian rulers are fascist. But US imperialism is the number one enemy of the nations and people of the world and an even greater enemy of the Iranian people. They have no right to attack the interior of Iran by violating all international rules and norms. The very power that possesses the world’s largest stockpile of nuclear bombs is threatening Iran for this reason. There is even a high probability that this propaganda is false.
The real intention of the US is to strengthen its exploitation and political-military authority over the entire Middle East by ousting opposing rulers in Iran, while simultaneously establishing control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz (through which a huge portion of the world’s oil trade passes) and Iran’s oil resources. They kidnapped the President of Venezuela with the same objective.
4. The US chose this time for the attack despite the opposition of Russia and China because Russia is still bogged down in the Ukraine war. On the other hand, China has not yet entered the stage of direct military operations in these regions; instead, it continues to focus on strengthening economic processes.
Therefore, it does not seem that Russia or China will do much more than provide political support and weapons for Iran at this moment. Consequently, the immediate possibility of a world war is low. However, war forces all parties involved to change their plans. In the future, events may take an unexpected turn.
5. Furthermore, almost all ‘Muslim’ countries in the Middle East are now serving US interests. Therefore, although there is talk of ‘Muslim Ummah’ unity, such unity has never existed since 1967 and now there is no question of it.
The UN lacks the capacity to do much beyond verbal statements. Because such organizations are fundamentally incapable of doing anything contrary to the interests of imperialism.
Just two days before this invasion, India’s Hindutva Prime Minister Modi visited Israel. This shows that he too, despite relations with Iran or Russia, has consented to the Israeli-US plan.
Additionally, at this very time, there may be US consent/backing for the Afghanistan-Pakistan war. Trump’s expression of friendship toward Pakistani rulers after the start of the war is also unusual. All these factors have facilitated the US plan against Iran.
6. Although this attack is coincidentally against a Muslim-majority country, it is not a communal or religious attack by Christians or Jews against Muslims, as religionists abroad and in our country are propagating. This is an aggressive attack by the chief patron of imperialism, US imperialism, on a Third World country.
In reality, most countries known as Muslim are working openly or secretly in favor of the US attack. On the other hand, Christian-Russia and atheist/Buddhist-China are supporting Iran. Therefore, giving it a religious-communal color is a purposeful conspiracy, in which the religionists of our country, including Jamaat, have joined hands. The people must break free from such confusion.
Moreover, it is visible that most of the religionists in our country are traditionally pro-Saudi and anti Iran. While this may outwardly appear to be the ideological influence of the Shia-Sunni conflict, the root cause is the difference in choosing sides in the internal conflicts of imperialists. The main section of religionists here historically serves as henchmen for US imperialism.
This has become even clearer in the ‘lukewarm’ statements of these circles, including Jamaat, regarding the ongoing events. In particular, they are deceiving the Muslim masses of the country by giving it a religious-communal color. On the other hand, they are refraining from taking any principled stand against US imperialism.
7. While the US-Israeli attack on Iran is gravely condemnable, it must be clear that the religious ruling group of Iran is a fascist force that has imposed fascist rule on the common people of Iran for over four decades. They have indiscriminately killed and repressed progressives in particular. Against this, the women and student-youth there have conducted heroic movements in recent times, which the rulers suppressed through similar killings and repression.
As a result, the religious fascist rulers of Iran are now vastly alienated from the masses. This has weakened them from within. For this reason, it is not possible for them to directly defeat the extremely powerful US-Israeli attack. The Iranian rulers sought and continue to seek refuge in other imperialist groups like Russia and China against the US. This is also not ultimately favorable for the liberation of the country, nation, and people of Iran; rather, it has created obstacles.
For these reasons, it appears that serious cracks have emerged within the ruling group. The way a large number of leaders, including Khamenei, were killed on the very first day of the attack suggests that some part of the rulers is involved in this regime-change plan and is working from within for the US.
8. Therefore, the project of attacking Iran from the outside, causing serious damage and distraction, while simultaneously effecting a regime change through some section of the ruling class from within-who want to bring forward a new political and foreign policy through the US—might succeed.
However, if the US has to engage in land warfare and occupy the country to implement and protect such a change, it could become a source of danger for them. In that case, they might fall into a cycle of long term guerrilla warfare, which China and Russia would also desire. The Iranian religious fascist rulers possess powerful religious tools, immense support against the US attack, and, above all, very strong and organized armed militias.
Although such imperialist attacks and conspiracies will, conversely, provide the conditions for religious fascism to survive politically. Because, like in the rest of the world, US imperialism is gravely hated in Iran. Their pet lackey, the Pahlavi group, is shamelessly treasonous. The people will clearly oppose this gang, except for a section of the ruling bourgeoisie.
Consequently, due to the support of Russia-China, pressure from world public opinion, the fear of Israel among Muslim countries, and the constraints arising from US imperialism’s own crisis, this regime might survive.
However, even if they survive, they will have to do so with massive losses. It may be that they will have to accept many humiliating US conditions.
Furthermore, whatever happens, Iran may fall into a cycle of civil war like Syria in the future.
Therefore, it is clear that the liberation of the Iranian people will not happen soon, and peace will not come, as all reactionaries have been saying. This is true for the entire world today.
In the case of Iran, the people are being pushed to choose between imperialism and religious fascism. In reality, in the global context, both are enemies of the people. In particular, taking the side of another imperialist group because of opposition to the US is no solution at all. This will only strengthen the conspiracies and plans of imperialists for world war preparations, which have nothing to do with the interests of the people.
Therefore, not just the US, but the entire imperialist system must be opposed—specifically, both conflicting groups of imperialism must be opposed, although in the case of Iran and the Middle East, the US and Western imperialist groups are currently the immediate primary danger. Simultaneously, religious fascism must also be clearly exposed and opposed, as they are very violent enemies of the vast masses.
In contrast to all this, the establishment of an anti- imperialist, secular, and democratic Iran can be the only desire for the people of Iran and the people of the world. Such a revolution is what is needed in Iran. The flag of this revolution must be held high everywhere in the world.
9. Wars such as the Iran war can have serious negative impacts on many countries, including ours, especially if the war is prolonged. The crisis that the imperialism-dependent economy might face through the crisis of oil, gas, and fuel, as well as problems in remittance income, will be shifted onto the shoulders of the people by the ruling class and the BNP government. At the same time, they will try to hide the fundamental problems of their system using the logic of war. Bourgeois opponents—Jamaat, NCP, and Awami League—will try to take advantage of this, although they too are servants of the same system. In this case, our duty should be to unmask the imperialism-dependent economy and politics and bring the alternative revolutionary system to the forefront.
