Found on an Iranian Telegram. Let me know your thoughts.


"As for people betting "Trump" won't use nuclear weapons - they still don't get "Trump" isn't in charge of anything.

This is an all-or-nothing bid by the US to maintain primacy over the planet before losing it permanently.

The unelected US corporate-financier establishment - pushing for wars since the inception of America as a nation - have ALREADY USED NUCLEAR WEAPONS - TWICE!!!

They considered using them on Korea, Vietnam, and even as recently as Afghanistan.

DO NOT let the US pin this solely on a single politician, or an administration or a US proxy. Make sure EVERYONE involved is blamed and held accountable.

This is called compartmentalization - dividing up your political fronts when dirty work is required so you can flush the consequences down with one or more of these fronts while keeping the political whole more or less intact.

The US literally does this every 4-8 years with presidents and scores of wars of aggression and other horrible foreign and domestic policies - and they will do it with this time as well.

It wasn't "Clinton," "Bush," or "Obama's" wars (although they are accomplices and equally guilty) - they are Wall Street and Washington wars - every single one of them - no matter who is picked to sell them and take the fall for them.

If you never expose and hold Wall Street and Washington as a whole accountable, they will continue their compartmentalization game forever without end."

🇮🇷🇱🇧🇮🇱| ❗️ Iran is finalising plans to respond to Israel's ceasefire violations on Lebanon

A security-military informed source told the official Fars News outlet:

Following Israel’s continued violation of the temporary ceasefire against Lebanon and Hezbollah, Iran is in the process of finalising to carry out deterrent operations against Israeli military positions in ‘Israel’.

This source emphasized:

In Tehran, the notion is being strengthened that the continuation of attacks by the regime despite agreements on all fronts indicates that either the US cannot control Netanyahu or the US Central Command has granted freedom of action to the Zionist regime.

🇮🇷| Iranian MP, Amirhossein Sabeti:

As predicted, the enemy immediately violated the ceasefire, and Qalibaf correctly stated that with the violation of the ceasefire, further negotiation is no longer logical.

But merely declaring a position is not enough. Israel and the US bases must again come under fire on the ground to show that Iran's response is balanced.

The 10-point plan, which America was supposed to agree to as a basis for negotiation in Islamabad, has apparently NOT been agreed to.

The inclusion of Lebanon in the ceasefire, which was explicitly stated in the Pakistani readout, has apparently also NOT been agreed to.

So the situation is that America and Israel have both backtracked on the only promises they made yesterday.

In turn, Iran has continued to close the Strait of Hormuz and is preparing a possible retaliation against Israel.

Anyway, back to the war it seems.

No, saying "Hitler was right" is not a proper way of showing support for Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran. It only shows that you are a historically illiterate fascist piece of shit, regardless of your religion.

Warning: if anyone ventures into resistance chats, you will find a very interesting and timely operation spreading doomerism

Don't fall for them. This is not new and it has happened several times before.

Don't let them demoralize you or your comrades.

Don't let them antagonize allies of the resistance.

Patience is key. Trust in the resistance and trust in the courageous people fighting the Usraeli beast.

From Brian Berletic:

🇺🇸/IRAN - US is Already Undermining Fake Ceasefire It Never Had any Intention of Upholding

The US and its Israeli proxies (who are incapable of conducting military operations without complete and constant US support, meaning Israeli transgressions are also US transgressions) have already violated the ceasefire agreement along multiple points.

As was 100% predictable.

The sort of people who started such an outrageously unwarranted, illegal, and murderous war of choice are INCAPABLE of agreeing to a just and lasting peace.

These violations include the continued punitive bombing of Lebanon and the US again demanding no uranium enrichment which Iran is and has always been entitled to under international law.

The point on uranium enrichment in particular, which never was any of Washington's business and only made an issue by the US to impede Iranian development and as a means of falsely justifying an otherwise indefensible war, demonstrates how fundamentally in bad faith the US has and continues to act.

After yet another extremely predictable betrayal from a verified agreement-incapable nation, I find it amazing there are still people allowing themselves to be strung along by this very deliberate process of political compartmentalization and buying time and space for continued death and destruction.

Believing the US will change its fundamental character without fundamentally changing its system first is like expecting one day to find water no longer being wet and up becoming down.

Images below: Here is US President Trump openly saying after the ceasefire was announced, there will be no uranium enrichment.

In other messages Trump has threatened nations arming Iran.

The purpose of that threat is to prevent Iran from arming and defending itself against INEVITABLE aggression the US and its proxies are already planning and preparing for.

The US = agreement incapable.

From Sony Thang:

The USA gave their citizens the world's most effective psychological defense mechanism:

The idea that American violence is always a response.
They never start it.
They were attacked at Pearl Harbor.
They were threatened by WMDs.
They were defending South Vietnam from Northern aggression.
They were protecting the region from Iranian influence.
They were responding to terrorism.
Always responding. Always defensive. Always reluctant warriors pushed into conflict by the aggression of others.
Never the ones who set the conditions.
Never the ones who funded the earlier coup.
Never the ones who imposed the embargo that created the desperation.
Never the first cause.
Always the response.

This story is a masterpiece of construction.
And it is completely false.

I honestly think this ceasefire will be dead in the water because Israel can't help itself from killing Arabs.

If anything it might just look like the US leaving Israel to deal with the mess, while the GCC quietly thank Allah that the removal the the US means no more missiles on them.

Though, I'm still not sure the US is willing to cut itself from the zionist entity.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, issues a statement on the U.S. and Israeli violation of Iran’s 10-point plan

He says the U.S. has clearly violated at least 3 points:

  1. The ceasefire in Lebanon.
  2. The entry of a drone into Iran.
  3. Denial of Iran’s right to enrich

The statement concludes: ‘In such situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations are unreasonable.’

From Sony Thang:

You know what keeps the empire running more than any aircraft carrier?

The American who knows something is wrong but has decided it's too big to fight.

The resignation. The learned helplessness. The "what am I supposed to do about it."

They manufactured that feeling deliberately.

Make the system feel permanent. Make alternatives feel impossible. Make dissent feel futile.

A population that has given up is cheaper to manage than a population that is afraid.

And they have both.

[–] Malkhodr@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 month ago (4 children)

This is a pretty accurate assessment of the core issue about organizing in the US. Few are willing to commit to radical action and it's not hard to see why.

For example, I'm sure many here are aware of that one video from the recent demonstrations, where protesters managed to break the door of an ICE facility. Then they simply walked backwards and cheered, not one person choosing to actually go into the facility and escalate.

Many online comrades scoffed at this, noting how neutered the American left is. They were correct in their suggestion that the US left self terminates radical action, which is mind numbing to say the least.

However I'd like to perhaps explain the headspace that these protestors likely had.

For one, there's the pretty good chance that if they went into the facility, they'd just get shot.

well risk has to exist in every action, so the problem is that Americans still have too much to lose

This works to explain some of the inertia but there's more.

When those protesters think about getting shot, it's not just what they have to lose that influences them. It's the thought of "what would giving my life actually accomplish?" Which I feel is a more paralyzing thought, as he answer is quite simple.

"Not much" is what the protesters will determine.

And it's for good reason.

I want you to think about how the US public reacts to crackdowns broadly. How they react to their own state suppressing them let alone how it suppresses the Global South.

Americans would see a protestor, or even a score of protesters, getting mowed down in an ICE facility, and frankly, I know they wouldn't do shit about it.

They'd declare their outrage, but they'd just take it as evidence that this is the result of fighting back.

That thought of "what would giving up my life acheive" followed by "I know my fellow countryman wouldn't do a damn thing about it" basically completely holds you back from doing something radical.

Americans have no sense of actual community. We're so atomized and utterly disconnected from eachother that someone could drop dead in our own neighborhood and most of us wouldn't even know that person's name.

How the hell do you organize that?! No matter how much time you put into your organization, how do you grow anything on such salted soil?

It's why the only meaningful organizing that's happened recently, in my opinion, is the Minisoda/Minneapolis community defense organizations. We saw Americans nanage to run ICE forces out of their neighborhood, burn their vehicles, and seize their weapons. Yet, we didn't see the mainstream Media say a peep about it.

That to me signals that the US regime found this organizational trend to be very concerning. I want other parts of the US to learn about that recent local shift, learn from it, and adopt its succesful methods. However the issue is that the conditions which bred such a response aren't being applied to the rest of the US.
