Britain supported the US and Israel. From the 1st of March — the day after the opening of the war — the British government allowed US B-1, B-2, and B-52 bombers to fly from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to conduct strikes against Iran.
The signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by Iran and the United States does not signify the end to US imperialism’s long-term assault upon the Islamic Republic.
We must now press the US to honour and implement the commitments made in the MOU.
US imperialism’s war against Iran is entering its thirteenth week and likely to be protracted. It has killed thousands in Iran and devastated many buildings. It is also having an immense impact on the economy across the globe, and here in Britain.
The US does not need west Asia’s oil for itself, its strategy is to be able to deny it to others, particularly China.
Because this is key for the US, it will not give up its attack on Iran, only the forms will change.
Trump has lost the first round in this war on Iran, but it is too early to assume the US will lose the war.
Iran has won the first battle in the US war of aggression against it. But it is an error to claim, as some genuinely and rightly against the US aggression have done, that Iran has yet won the war. This is based on an underestimation of the strength and ruthlessness of US imperialism.
A US escalation of its war on Iran carries the threat of world recession, climate catastrophes and horrendous levels of fatalities and suffering. The anti-war movement must be preparing to oppose any escalation and work to achieve a wider mobilisation.
