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.
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. Although for the communists the motto is "Proletarians
of all countries, unite!" , the motto that must guide the
struggle of the two forces must be "Proletarians of all the
countries and peoples 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 National
Resistance War of the people of Iran!
Iran and
Palestine will prevail!
