No liberation through US bombs!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><em><strong>Statement adopted by the Executive Bureau of the Fourth International on 28 February 2026.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">1. After several years and different US governments threatening Iran with military attack, the USA, in alliance with Israel, has launched missile strikes and bombs against the country. Trump has called on the Iranian military to surrender or \u2018face certain death\u2019. Iran has retaliated with strikes on US military bases across the Gulf and now there is a threat of a wider regional war.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">2. The pretext for this war is the \u2018inconclusive\u2019 negotiations around Iran\u2019s nuclear programme and Trump\u2019s claim that Iran is building long range missiles to strike at Europe or even the USA, the same refrain as when George W Bush and Tony Blair claimed that Iraq could strike at western targets with only \u201c45-minute warning\u201d in 2003. The hypocrisy of the strongest military powers \u2013 equipped with global striking power and nuclear weapons \u2013 claiming that Iran is a meaningful threat to people as far away as New York is obvious. Iran had offered some concessions in its Uranian enrichment programme and also to open up its gas and oil to US contracts \u2013 this was not enough for a bully and a war monger like Trump who demands complete subservience and obedience to himself personally and the US geo-politically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Military actions must be viewed in the context of\u00a0the openly aggressive and colonialist turn of the US under a neofascist government, with growing competition between imperialisms for direct access to resources as the neoliberal and globalizing order disintegrates.\u00a0The kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores in Venezuela,\u00a0and the consequent control over the country government,\u00a0Trump&#8217;s threats against Greenland,\u00a0ongoing genocide against the Palestinians and the planned &#8220;reconstruction&#8221; of Gaza, the annexation of the West Bank and now the bombs falling on Tehran, are all part of this new world order. The first missiles were initially launched by Israel before being followed up with US military ordinance launched from its warships and aircraft carriers in the region. This once again demonstrates the close military and political connection between the two countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0<span lang=\"EN-GB\">While this latest aggression continues the Trump governments&#8217; pattern of contempt\u00a0for international law, the sovereignty of nations, and the use of threats and actual violence to advance what it regards as US interests, Trumps attack on Iran is the just the latest chapter in a long history of US aggression against Iran and its peoples. The US has never forgiven Iran for overthrowing the US backed repressive comprador regime of the Shah in the popular 1979 revolution that overthrew the Pahlavi monarchy. All US presidents since then have used economic boycotts and occasional military action against the country. They have all cynically claimed to support the Iranian people against the dictatorship of the mullahs as thin cover for their desire to control the region and its oil supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0<span lang=\"EN-GB\">The recent popular uprising against the Iranian government and the brutal way in which the Iranian theocratic regime has crushed it might cause some people to be sympathetic to the US\/Israeli attack in the hopes of creating regime change. Sensing an opportunity to return to power the military strikes have been praised by supporters of the exiled Iranian royalist leader, Reza Pahlavi son of the Shah, whose family was overthrown in the revolution in 1979. Pahlavi visited Israel in April 2023 to discuss regime change in Iran and has made no secret of his hopes that Netanyahu can be helpful his plans for restoration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>6.\u00a0<span lang=\"EN-GB\">As the bombs started to fall Trump announced to the people of Iran that \u201cThe hour of your freedom is at hand\u201d. This attack is not about liberation, and no one should believe that the USA or Israel, hands soaked in blood from Gaza and elsewhere has any interest in human freedom or happiness. This a geopolitical strategic consideration by the forces of US imperialism to assert greater control of the region.

Iranian women in particular have been in the forefront of these movements, most notably in the &#8220;Woman, Life, Freedom&#8221; movement in 2022. Iran has a large working class and trade unions that fight, particularly in the oil sector. Students most recently came out in mass protests after the regime slaughtered thousands in January. The Iranian government is weak, held together only by violence and fear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">8.
