Western imperialism’s war-mongering against Iran: End imperialist aggression and sanctions!

[The Northerner]

Over the past weeks tensions between Iran and the West have been moving towards a boiling point. The imposition of strict sanctions by the US and its allies is already being felt in Iran and threatens to cripple the economy. Alongside these sanctions, military excursions into the Gulf on both sides, Iran’s test firing of missiles, the assassination of Iranian scientists, the bringing down of an unmanned US drone by Iran, and a constant war of words is threatening to cause an armed clash between Israel and the United States on one side, and Iran on the other.

The Western imperialists — the US, the UK, and Canada, in particular — have led the charge to impose economic isolation on Iran. US president Barack Obama introduced sanctions on New Year’s Eve, imposing a ban on any corporation from doing trade in the US if they carry out business with Iran’s central bank. By cutting Iran off from significant export markets, they threaten to strangle an economy centred around the oil sector.

Alongside these measures, the business-backed politicians in the West have waged a campaign of war hysteria in the media over the supposed “threat” posed by Iran. Though Obama has not yet publicly suggested military strikes as an option, Dennis Ross, who served for two years on the president’s National Security Council, has argued that the president is willing to use military force to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The issue of Iran has also loomed large in the recent Republican primaries. All the candidates, with the exception of Ron Paul, have called for military action against Iran. Though they have stopped short of committing troops “on the ground”, the Republican candidates have called for a mix of covert operations and bombing strikes on Iran.
