On July 11, Iran announced that it had fired warning shots at several vessels taking “unapproved” routes through the Strait of Hormuz and that it was closing the Strait to shipping altogether “until the end of U.S. interference in the region.”

Trump Threatens “one big glow coming out of Iran” If No Deal, and Rejects Latest Iranian Offer

MAY DAY, 5/1/26
A Day of No Work, No School, No Business as Usual
A Day to Demand:
TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

Over the course of the past week, Trump first threatened to carry out genocide against the 93 million human beings in Iran unless Iran ceased blockading the Strait of Hormuz, an important trade route. Then, when that horrific threat aroused worldwide outrage and when Iran refused to back down, Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire along with negotiations. And now—after one day of negotiations which did not go to America’s liking—Trump has threatened a naval blockade along with resumed bombing which would end the ceasefire.

Within hours of the ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran announced on April 7, Israel unleashed the deadliest day of death and destruction on Lebanon since March 2. This is when Israel began its genocidal assault while they also partnered with the U.S. in its criminal war on Iran.

The world’s attention may be focused on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, but Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza hasn’t stopped.

Palestinians are still being starved and needlessly dying due to Israel’s criminal blockade of food, medicine and other needed supplies. Meanwhile, Israeli tank shells recently killed three people in a tent camp for displaced people and wounded ten more, including children. Their missiles have killed people in markets and slaughtered people in villages. On March 15 alone, the Israelis killed 12 Gazans, including two children and a pregnant woman.

Israel isn’t just murdering civilians and destroying vital means of survival in Iran. It has seized on the war to launch a preplanned assault on Lebanon—not to “protect Israel,” but to implement the “Gaza Model,” in Lebanon. What does this mean? It means the total devastation, seizure, and occupation of Lebanese towns and territory south of the Litani River—some 8-10 percent of Lebanon’s territory. And it means incalculable death and devastation across all Lebanon.

The Juggernaut of Fascist Repression Will Not Stop Because Trump Is Unpopular
THERE MUST BE FIERCE BUT NONVIOLENT MASS POLITICAL STRUGGLE DEMANDING THAT THE TRUMP FASCIST REGIME MUST GO NOW!

– Criminal War of Imperialist Aggression by World’s Chief Terrorists
– Iran Retaliates—Danger of War Intensifying Grows

On February 24, Trump gave his annual State of the Union address.

Many anti-Trump commentators (gleefully) deemed the speech a “failure” because “it won’t improve Trump’s falling poll numbers” in advance of the midterm elections this November. And they argued that he advanced few “policy proposals” that would provide legislative reforms for the deep problems gripping the U.S. (and the world).

As a crucial part of fighting for a whole different and far better world, people must prepare now to act against the outrage of Trump’s fascist, imperialist threats against Iran and against any war that the U.S. and/or Israel launch.
