STATEMENT:
THE IRANIAN PEOPLE'S WAR OF NATIONAL RESISTANCE WILL DEFEAT THE IMPERIALIST-ZIONIST WAR OF AGGRESSION
YANKEES GO HOME!
On Saturday, February 28, the war of aggression waged by Yankee imperialism and its main instrument in the Middle East region, the Zionist State of Israel, entered a new military campaign within the phase of the war that began with its first 12-day campaign in June 2025.
This campaign of direct military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which the imperialist aggressor has dubbed "Operation Epic Fury," has as its main political objective the capitulation of the Iranian nation in order to subject it to imperialist domination.
As reported by the media, the United States and Israel have been attacking Iran since Saturday morning, resulting in the death of the country's top leader, Ali Khamenei.
By Sunday, the aggressors' armed forces, according to their own information, had bombed more than 2,000 targets in Iran.
Iran stated that "the assassination of Khamenei signifies a declaration of war against Muslims."
US imperialism, as the principal enforcer of the global counter-revolution, seeks to resolve the "Iran question" (its main political objective) by pursuing regime change in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Iranian question is the key issue to be resolved in the Greater Middle East (MEE) for the plans of the sole hegemonic superpower, US imperialism, as President Gonzalo states:
“Iran, subjugated by the Shah, was a US stronghold; he was overthrown and a retrograde theocratic system was imposed, controlled by Shiite Islam, thus clashing with the superpowers USA and USSR, and with the so-called “third Satan,” Hussein of Iraq. The US lost its stronghold in the Middle East; Israel is very small, however much of a wedge it represents; for this reason, it supported Iraq in its war against Iran (…) For the imperialists, control of the Middle East is at stake.”
The campaign for this imperialist war of aggression began with a preparatory phase aimed at creating favorable public opinion both domestically and internationally. This involved fabricating a narrative (Iran as a “threat to the security of the United States and Israel due to its development of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles”) and preparing by deploying a large military force in the region to direct the forces of its Zionist and reactionary Arab lackeys. The concentration of American forces is the largest since the Gulf War, with the US repeatedly proclaiming itself “the most powerful military force on earth” (Trump).
Since Saturday, a devastating imperialist air bombardment by its Zionist lackeys against thousands of targets has been underway, but it demonstrates the great capacity of the Iranian resistance, primarily that of its people, and the difficulties the imperialists are encountering in subduing a nation they thought would surrender in a matter of days.
The Yankee imperialists have been confronted with reality, as the resistance not only persists but is growing, and the expected "popular uprising" against the regime has not occurred and, as we can see, will not occur.
Regarding the above, Nate Swanson, Director of the Iran Strategic Project at the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C., stated in an interview with the German magazine Der Stern that, following the death of Iran's top leader, Ali Khamenei, this war is historically unparalleled and clarified how Iran's revenge might unfold—and how Donald Trump could once again end this war.

The reaction of rival imperialists from Russia, China, France, Germany, etc., despite their differing tones, consisted of hypocritical calls for respect for international law and for "peaceful solutions through diplomatic negotiations." All of this is aimed at undermining anti-imperialist resistance and forcing the attacked nation to capitulate.
The genocidal Trump, the State Department, the CIA, and the Pentagon, as well as his lackey Netanyahu, Mossad, and the Zionist Armed Forces, dreamed of a victory. The attack was swift but shattered by the fierce resistance and counterattack of Iranian patriotic forces, the "Axis of Resistance" movements, and the mass movements of the region, stretching from Pakistan to the Sahara. The Iranian armed forces counterattacked, inflicting casualties and destroying or seriously damaging facilities at US bases and those of other imperialist countries in the region, which are governed by lackeys of US imperialism.
The US imperialists seek to create a power vacuum through the assassinations of Supreme Leader Khamenei and nearly 50 of the country's top political and military leaders, as well as through the bombing of civilian and military government installations, and the country's logistics and economy. They aim to decimate the vital forces of national resistance. The aggressor intends to force the regime to capitulate to all its demands and, at the same time, generate a "popular uprising" in favor of a puppet government of US imperialism—whether that of the deposed Shah's son, Rerza Pahlavi, or any other traitor. The latter would allow them to enter with their ground forces, overthrow the national government, and install their puppet.
The genocidal Trump, the State Department, the CIA, and the Pentagon, along with their lackey Netanyahu, Mossad, and the Zionist Armed Forces, dreamed of a swift victory but were met with fierce resistance and counterattacks from Iranian patriotic forces, the "Axis of Resistance" movements, and the mass movements across the region, from Pakistan to the Sahel.
REALITY AND PERSPECTIVE:
We believe that what has been presented corresponds to the reality of what is happening in the current armed conflict between U.S. imperialism, on the one hand, and the oppressed nation of Iran, on the other. Therein lies the principal contradiction, and its importance will increase despite the prospect of intensifying collusion and struggle between superpowers and other powers.
The imperialist-Zionist plan seeks a swift resolution; a prolonged war is not in its best interest.
A prolonged war is advantageous to the forces of national resistance and the entire national liberation movement in the region, allowing them to move from weakness to strength.
This requires Iran to commit to a firm and astute resistance aimed at generating political changes, primarily among the Arab people, and exacerbating inter-imperialist contradictions.
For us, this is the most convenient way to transform national resistance into revolution, because in this armed struggle, the heroic combatant who must lead the armed struggle of national resistance will emerge and be forged, transforming it into a people's war under the leadership of their Communist Party, as part of the revolution of new democracy.
We understand that the anti-imperialist front in our countries is the front of the democratic revolution based on the worker-peasant alliance led by the Communist Party. Marxist-Leninist-Maoists do not separate the struggle against imperialism from the struggle against semi-feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism.
And the world anti-imperialist front to sweep imperialism and reaction from the face of the earth through world revolution is made up of two forces: the struggle of the national liberation movement and the struggles of the international proletarian movement, both led by their Communist Parties. While for communists the slogan is "Workers of the world, unite!" The motto that should guide the struggle of the two forces must be "Workers of the world, unite!"
We also declare our support for the call to found the Anti-Imperialist League, and we quote the following from its call:
"The conditions are favorable for uniting the majority of the people against the imperialists and their lackeys. We call for the founding of an International Anti-Imperialist Organization, the International Anti-Imperialist League, to undertake the indispensable task of forming a world anti-imperialist front to advance along the path of unifying the majority of the people against imperialism and reaction, in service of the People's Wars, the national liberation struggles, and the proletarian and popular struggles throughout the world. Let us found the International Anti-Imperialist League!"
To conclude, a lesson that Chairman Gonzalo drew from the 1990 Gulf War, especially for oppressed nations and primarily for the world proletarian revolution, which must be kept in mind in the face of this uninspiring event, is the following:
“Thus, they extol American military power to the skies, 'in the highest and most modern technology'; and what does the commentary say? 'It's a rehash of the idea that weapons are the most important thing, that power resides in the most modern weapons, that weapons can do everything, that's what they proclaim; and it concludes: 'When, precisely, the first great lesson we must draw from the Gulf War is that what is most important in war is the man, the ideology that animates him, the class that leads, the interests he defends, and the cause he serves.' That is the lesson of the Gulf and what interests us as a lesson for people's war and for unmasking fallacies (1).
Let us found the International Anti-Imperialist League!
Yankees out of the Greater Middle East!
Let's support the Iranian people's War of National Resistance!
Iran and Palestine will prevail!
