The US
has, directly after its occupation of Iraq, been building up several
military bases close to the Iranian border.
The US
has made repeated demands on the Iranian government to
accommodate to US policies concerning the “new American order”.
Replacement of the regimes in Iraq, North Korea
and Iran
is, and has been, part of the Bush doctrine. Right now, as the US has failed in
Iraq, its war-mongering against
Iran
is on the increase. The US
has now dispatched two aircraft carriers to the Gulf of Persia
and placed 50 warships just off the Iranian coast. The US accuses Iran of possessing nuclear arms or
of aiming at producing them. This is the hysterical
US
propaganda against Iran,
in spite of the fact that all inspectors have declared that Iran has got no
nuclear arms; those statements, however, don’t suffice for G.W.
Bush. According to what the
US
dictates, independent nations have no right to develop peaceful
nuclear power for civil use. The
US
dictate does not concern Israel,
which is a nuclear power in the Middle East.
Nor does it apply to Pakistan,
or India,
et al. What is being said, is that the
Tehran
regime must obey the US
on the Palestine/Israel conflict; must not oppose US policies in
the Persian Gulf on matters
concerning oil; must accommodate entirely to the IMF and the
World Bank, etc. In short, Iran
must unconditionally align itself with the
US
in the rivalry of the latter with the EU,
Japan, and
China. Can this be realized
without any military intervention? Yes, that alternative might
be possible. The capitalist clergy regime in
Tehran
has the character of selling out to the US for the sake of power. All
factions within the Tehran regime
have shown marked tendencies of compromise with the US. Examples of this are that the
Islamic regime, during bombardments of
Iraq
and Afghanistan,
has been collaborating with “the alliance Britain-US” and,
according to its own statement, “the
US wouldn’t succeed in
Iraq and Afghanistan without help from Iran”.
Iran was one of the first
states to recognize the stooge regime in
Baghdad. The Tehran
regime has from the very beginning been acting against the
resistance movement in Iraq,
and has been close to the US
line, while yet being accused of responsibility for the US failure in Iraq.
An invasion of Iran
is, given the situation of huge US
problems in
Iraq
and internationally, unlikely to occur. Nevertheless, the
war-mongering is dangerously similar to the war-mongering that
proceeded the invasion of Iraq. If it is
not possible, in the end, to change the Iranian regime in favour
of US desires, it might finally lead to a military action
against Iran. The US doesn’t care
about the form or medieval character of the Iranian regime.
History has shown that the
US
may collaborate with any kind of Satan to realize its aims and
goals. Decisive to the Bush administration is that
Iran
chooses a pro-US line like Kuwait,
Bahrain, Turkey, Qatar et
al. The possible intrusion of US
imperialism into Iran
is of the same nature as its intrusion into
Iraq,
Afghanistan, Yugoslavia and
other countries, and must be condemned. The US has its imperialist political,
economical and strategic interests, and no thinking person
should believe that US meddling into Iranian affairs has
anything to do with democracy, freedom or justice. That is
nothing but sheer imperialist propaganda. The people of Iran can, by its
own might, overthrow the reactionary theocratic regime and build
a free and democratic society without the “aid” of imperialism.
Iranians are never going to forget the 1953 event, when Prime
Minister Mosadegh was overthrown by a joint US-British action
following his nationalization of the oil industry. The Shah was
reinstated, oppression and terror became everyday features, and
the democracy movement was drowned in blood. One should not be
blinded by the terror regime in
Iran to forget about the colonial and
barbaric aims of US imperialism.
US out of
Iraq
- immediately and unconditionally!
No sanctions, no bombs against
Iran!
