Kathmandu, Nepal \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0In a brutal escalation of Western-backed aggression, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least\u00a0865 civilians<\/strong>\u00a0and wounded\u00a03,396<\/strong>\u00a0in Iran, according to human rights monitors. The attacks, which targeted densely populated areas, have drawn fierce condemnation from anti-imperialist movements worldwide, with critics accusing the United States and Israel of orchestrating yet another destabilizing intervention in West Asia.<\/p>\n

Iran Vows Resistance Amid U.S.-Israeli War Coordination<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Iranian Foreign Minister\u00a0Hossein Amir-Abdollahian<\/strong>\u00a0declared that Tehran\u00a0“reserves all options to defend its sovereignty and people,”<\/strong>\u00a0signaling potential retaliation against what progressive analysts describe as a\u00a0joint U.S.-Israeli regime-change operation<\/strong>. The strikes come just days after\u00a0Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong>\u00a0openly admitted that the\u00a0U.S. bombing of Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities<\/strong>\u2014including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan\u2014was conducted in\u00a0“full coordination”<\/strong>\u00a0with his far-right government.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu, in a Hebrew-language address, praised \u00a0U.S. President Donald Trump<\/strong>\u00a0for his\u00a0“bold decision”<\/strong>\u00a0to attack Iran\u2019s nuclear sites, calling it a\u00a0“history-changing”<\/strong>\u00a0move. Trump, who has long aligned with Israel\u2019s hardline policies, boasted on\u00a0Truth Social<\/strong>\u00a0about the strikes, further exposing the\u00a0U.S.-Israel axis of aggression<\/strong>\u00a0that has fueled decades of conflict in the region.<\/p>\n

Historical Context: U.S. Imperialism and the Destabilization of Iran<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This latest violence is not an isolated incident but part of a\u00a0long history of U.S. and Israeli interference<\/strong>\u00a0in Iran\u2019s sovereignty. Progressives point to the\u00a01953 CIA-backed coup<\/strong>\u00a0that overthrew Iran\u2019s democratically elected Prime Minister\u00a0Mohammad Mossadegh<\/strong>\u00a0after he nationalized oil resources\u2014a move that threatened Western corporate profits. Since then, Washington and Tel Aviv have\u00a0funded opposition groups, imposed crippling sanctions, and assassinated Iranian scientists<\/strong>\u00a0in a bid to maintain hegemony over the region.<\/p>\n

Now, with\u00a0Iran launching retaliatory missile strikes toward Israel<\/strong>, the risk of a\u00a0full-scale regional war<\/strong>\u00a0grows\u2014one that could drag in Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah, Yemen\u2019s Ansarullah, and other resistance forces opposed to U.S.-Israeli domination.<\/p>\n

Global Left Condemns Western Hypocrisy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From\u00a0Kathmandu to Caracas<\/strong>, socialist and anti-war activists are rallying against what they call\u00a0“another act of imperialist butchery.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
