US War on Iran: Where is the Left?

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)Leave a comment

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]

CIA Arms Iran’s Kurds For Regime Change — Why Is The Opposition Against Them? +

The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces inside Iran. President Trump called Kurdish leaders personally over the weekend — and on Tuesday spoke directly with Mustafa Hijri, president of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, whose camps the IRGC had just struck with drones. Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House with Kurdish uprising numbers already mapped. Weapons have reportedly been smuggled into western Iran since last year’s twelve-day war. Israeli strikes are targeting Iranian military outposts along the Iraq border to clear a path for ground operations.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) are synonymous.

The Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) has renewed its efforts to position itself as a credible opposition movement to the Islamic Republic. The recent outcome of the group’s lobbying activities has been a resolution submitted by 160 congressmen. However, a comprehensive new report from the Congressional Research Service [CRS] critically assesses these ongoing efforts, underscoring significant concerns regarding the MEK’s extremist ideological origins, historical involvement in terrorism, documented human rights abuses, and notably weak popular support among Iranians both domestically and within the diaspora.

Beware the redux: America’s violent Cold War history

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Hollywood loves a sequel, but the Russia-Ukraine crisis has made the possibility real, and no one should want to see it.

…

The “us versus them” rhetoric and global military maneuvering likely to play out in the years to come threaten to divert attention and resources from the biggest risks to humanity, including the existential threat posed by climate change. It also may divert attention from a country — ours — that is threatening to come apart at the seams. To choose this moment to launch a new Cold War should be considered folly of the first order, not to speak of an inability to learn from history.
