The Global Convoy to Cuba: Response to Washington’s Strangling of Cuba

Since 1962 the US imposed an economic blockade on Cuba designed “to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.” Until 1990 this brutality was greatly alleviated by the solidarity of the socialist countries which provided the Cuban people with essential trade and aid. That provided some protection, but as the film 638 Ways to Kill Castro, the US had other tools, including many acts of terrorism and biological warfare.

US War on Iran: Where is the Left?

21-03-2026: The US imperialist war on the Islamic Republic of Iran is raging, with the assistance its Israeli sidekick. The unprovoked war of aggression began with the unspeakable war crime of the massacre of around 170 Iranian schoolgirls aged between 7 and 12 attending the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in the town of Minab in the Hormozgan province.[1] The US and Israeli war machines are continuing their horrific “decapitation strikes” in a desperate attempt at regime change. Ayatollah Ali Khamanei was struck down by US missiles, becoming a martyr in the tradition of Shia Islam. He was soon replaced by Mojtaba Khamanei, his son and a former volunteer for the Iranian revolution during the US instigated Iraqi war on Iran during the 1980s. The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, is the latest top leader to be slaughtered by the US/Israeli strikes.[2]
