Strength and Victory to Iran!
The United States is waging a war on Iran under the pretext that Iran poses a nuclear threat—a fabricated claim designed to manufacture support for this imperialist war. In reality, this false narrative is weaponized to justify an assault on Iran’s sovereignty and targets an ancient people whose anti-colonial resistance has long supported Palestine and other oppressed nations. For decades, the United States has sought to undermine Iran's revolutionary government, using “israel” as a proxy in this effort. This strategy mirrors the war in Ukraine, where the U.S. sponsored a coup to use the country against Russia, and the ongoing arming of Taiwan by the U.S. as it prepares for war with China. The ultimate goal of these actions is to dismantle Iran's sovereignty. Washington’s clear objective is to destroy the only sovereign state in the region that materially supports and arms the Palestinian resistance and the Axis of Resistance, including factions like the Al Qassam Brigades, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, AnsarAllah, and the Yemeni Armed Forces, which have defended the Palestinian cause and contributed to national liberation for generations. Notably, Syria was once an integral part of this anti-colonial axis; however, in December 2024 the United States successfully orchestrated a regime change in Syria and installed a puppet government led by the former Al Qaeda leader, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, thereby toppling Syria and turning it into another U.S./zionist vassal state.
On June 13, "israel" launched a surprise assault on Iran with explicit U.S. authorization. Just three days before the attack, the U.S. delivered 300 Hellfire missiles to "israel" and strategically positioned fighter jets, Navy destroyers, and ground-based air defense systems in the region. This carefully choreographed operation demonstrates how the United States uses proxies to wage long-planned wars—manufacturing terrorism, targeting urban centers, and displacing civilians to force regime change in Iran. Under U.S. direction, "israeli" forces bombed key civilian targets in Tehran and Isfahan—hospitals, the Red Crescent building, and residential neighborhoods—to demoralize the population and provoke mass displacement. In response, Iran struck back with precision by launching first-generation hypersonic Fattah missiles and advanced ballistic systems from decoy positions and underground bases over the Golan Heights toward Tel Aviv, Haifa, Nazareth, and into occupied Palestinian territories.
Iran’s resistance is rooted in the legacy of the 1979 revolution—a historic uprising against a U.S.-backed regime imposed to enforce Western domination. Since that transformative moment, Iran has stood as a beacon of anti-colonial pride, providing unwavering support to the Palestinian liberation struggle and aiding resistance movements in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon. The United States has repeatedly sought to destabilize Iran through economic sanctions, funding opposition groups, and assassinating Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military leaders like Major General Qasem Soleimani. Moreover, by forging alliances with organizations such as BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Iran challenges the unipolar world order that Washington desperately seeks to maintain, standing alone as the only sovereign state in the region that arms and supports genuine resistance.
For those of us in the United States who have long opposed imperialist interference—who have stood with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and the DPRK against U.S. intervention and defended the struggle of the Palestinian people—now is the time to extend that solidarity to Iran. Every missile strike on Tehran and every deliberate attack on civilian infrastructure is not merely an assault on one nation; it is an attack on all free peoples resisting the oppressive machinery of U.S. imperialism and zionism that seeks to subjugate every corner of the world. Supporting Iran means rejecting the imperialist world order that sacrifices lives for hegemonic profit and power.
Iran remains the only sovereign state in the region that both defends its independence and materially supports the anti-colonial resistance axis—a lifeline for groups committed to the liberation of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and beyond. Its swift military counter-offensives, rapid reorganization of defenses, and strategic use of decoy tactics demonstrate a centuries-old commitment to resistance that will not yield under external pressure. Iran’s struggle is not solely about protecting its borders; it is about preserving the revolutionary legacy of 1979 and upholding the dignity, self-determination, and independence of its people and all oppressed peoples throughout the region.
The United States bears full responsibility for provoking this war. Its decades-long plan to weaponize proxies, deliver lethal arms to "israel," and deploy vast military assets has culminated in an all-out attack on Iran—designed not to stop a nuclear threat, but to force regime change and reassert Western hegemony by erasing the anti-colonial alliance that has long defended Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and other nations.
We reject the false narratives spun by U.S. and Western powers that seek to depict Iran as the aggressor. In truth, this is a meticulously engineered U.S. war of regime change, using “israel” as its instrument to dissolve the Axis of Resistance. It is imperative that we lend unequivocal support to Iran. When Iran fights to preserve its sovereignty and the integrity of its revolutionary values, it also fights for the liberation of Palestine and every nation battling U.S.-led imperialism. We must recognize the U.S. and its allied forces not merely as adversaries of Iran but as enemies of all free people who reject Western imperial domination.
In solidarity,
