Iran
The establishment media is full of speculation about whether the U.S. and its NATO allies will intervene directly in Syria and Iran. The war, however, has already begun. It is being waged on the propaganda and the political front, in the banks and boardrooms, and according to recent WikiLeaks, on the covert military front as well. Every week this war intensifies....

Washington’s slanderous campaign against Iran for an alleged assassination plot lacks evidence and fails every test of logic. Many people have raised questions as to its truth. But there’s an even more important question to ask: Why is the U.S. government desperate to use an unbelievable pretext to begin a campaign of sanctions and possible war against Iran?...

From a letter was written by Iranian progressives:
Today the big question facing the peace and justice movement is whether
Washington is planning a military attack against Iran. Shocking as such a

Even a country that possesses arms as powerful as those of the United States
cannot conquer through military might alone.
That is the lesson of this period of seemingly endless U.S. imperialist
invasions and occupations that began with the assault on Korea in 1950 and
continues to the present....

We in the anti-war movement need to be especially careful not to jump on the
bandwagon when the entire capitalist class, their media, the entire U.S.
Congress, and numerous organizations that received direct U.S. funding from the
so-called National Endowment for Democracy all speak with one voice in sudden
defense of a cause...

The conflict in Iran that opened up with the June presidential elections there
has had an impact on the progressive and anti-imperialist movement worldwide,
including in the United States. Misunderstanding the events has created some
confusion in anti-war ranks. This is especially dangerous after Vice President
Joe Biden on July 5 gave a virtual green light to an Israeli attack on Iran.
The anti-war movement must stay alert to protest any move in that
direction....

The media’s focus shifted June 29 from Central Asia to Central America.
The lies continued in the corporate media, only with fewer items on Iran, at
least this side of the Atlantic. It still showed the power of the Big
Lie—two Big Lies in this case, where an omnipresent media machine gives
the impression that everyone believes something and therefore it must be
true.
The first lie is that there was significant electoral fraud that stole the
election for the incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. There is no evidence
that this is so. ...

The confrontation among Iran’s ruling politicians that has brought large
crowds into the streets of Tehran is not taking place in isolation. It is
happening in a country still facing U.S. sanctions and warships, hostility from
every imperialist capital and venom from the West’s corporate media.
This confrontation follows 30 years of a concerted effort by the U.S. and other
imperialists to turn back the enormously popular revolution that took place in
1979. That revolution stopped short of moving Iran toward socialism. But it
broke the grip of the imperialist overseers and their puppet shah over a
country that now has 71 million people in an area three times the size of
France....

The first thing to make clear about the Iranian election is that the U.S. and
other imperialist states have no right to intervene. The media here are now
filled with moralizing, even racist scolding of Iran over the election results.
Who are they to act so hoity-toity? Remember George W. Bush’s open theft
of the 2000 election in Florida?...

In 2002, George W. Bush named Iran as part of an “axis of
evil,” warning about Iran’s “nuclear ambitions.”
Although International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have found no evidence
of Iran developing a nuclear weapons program, Bush continues to state that Iran
