The World Socialist Web Site condemns Israel’s attack on Iran as an act of imperialist aggression. The article argues that the attack, falsely attributed to Iran, was orchestrated by the US and Israel to escalate tensions in the region and undermine Iran’s influence. It traces the attack back to internal Israeli political crises and the Biden administration’s need to solidify its support among pro-Israel factions, especially with ongoing domestic and international challenges.
The piece asserts that the attack is part of a broader strategy by the US and its allies to destabilize the Middle East, secure control over its resources, and counter the growing influence of China and Russia. It also criticizes the US media for uncritically supporting the narrative that Iran was the aggressor and for ignoring the long history of Israeli aggression in the region.
The article warns of the dangers of a wider war in the Middle East and calls on workers and young people to oppose the imperialist machinations of the US and Israel. It emphasizes the need for a socialist perspective to unite workers across national boundaries against capitalist war. It calls for the building of a global anti-war movement based on socialist principles to prevent a catastrophic conflict.
