Message received since Israel attacked Iran

Posted on June 20, 2025

At this terrible time, it’s of crucial importance that each of us get out there and make our voices heard to stop/not get into this war on Iran — join protests, write letters to editors, speak up at public events, be heard.

One of the many messages we have received since Israel attacked Iran six days ago, is this from a friend and leader of the anti-war movement of the 60’s. I’m sharing:

“This is the dirty work that Israel does for all of us.”
— German Chancellor Friedrich Merz

Every now and then a bourgeois leader just blurts out the truth. The U.S. ruling class, under both Democratic and Republican administrations, has long been beating the drums for a war on Iran. The only unknown has been whether the U.S. would start it itself or whether it would job out “the dirty work” to Israel.

While that question has now been answered, it does not mean that the U.S. will not step in and take over the whole operation. Trump is already declaring 1) that “we” have total control of the air over Tehran, 2) that (in true gangster fashion) regarding Iran’s supreme leader “we know where you live,” 3) that the U.S. has the bunker-busting bomb needed to destroy Iran’s underground nuclear facilities, 4) that the people of Tehran are to evacuate the city, and 5) that he will only accept “unconditional surrender.”

If anyone in the Middle East represents an “existential threat,” it is Israel, the only nuclear armed power in the region, armed and backed by the U.S., and one that is fully prepared to exercise what it euphemistically calls “the Sampson Option.”

Once again, it is the ordinary people — Iranians, Palestinians and Jews who will bear the brunt of this new round of death and destruction unleashed by Israel. And there remains the potential for more nuclear armed imperialist powers being drawn into all this with an increased threat of world war.
