July 14, 2026, The U.S. war machine was severely depleted by its 40-day war of aggression against the Islamic Republic. To the imperialist war machine, the highly publicized "ceasefire" was never a pursuit of genuine peace; it was a mechanical stalling tactic designed to buy time to restock munitions at local U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. 

​

The mask of benevolence entirely slipped when the U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally declared America the "Guardian of the Hormuz Strait" and demanded a 20 percent protection fee on all cargo. 

​

This re-exposes the U.S. imperialist military base network not as a defender of global security as claimed, but as a vast collection agency for the financial oligarchy, reliant on maritime piracy to fund its own collapsing economy.

​

However, just as you cannot achieve peace abroad while maintaining a system of exploitation at home, nor can you achieve genuine democracy at home while waging imperialist wars abroad. 

​

To protect this vertical pipeline of robbery, Western diplomats and media consistently scream "unprovoked aggression" with Iran’s legitimate defense of its own territorial waters, hoping to thought police a blockade of silence around the fact that the Strait of Hormuz is not an international waterway, but falls entirely within the sovereign maritime borders of Iran and Oman.

​

Figures like the German Foreign Minister play the role of the deceitful ghoul, utilizing the bourgeois sensationalism of "free transit" to demand that Iran unconditionally reopen the strait, while utterly ignoring the U.S. military's days and nights of unprovoked missile strikes on Iranian coastal infrastructure.

The most dangerous weapon is wielded by the opportunist gatekeepers of the multiparty system, where they attempt to inject artificial separation into the resistance by engineering a quid pro quo conflict. 

​

The Pentagon war machine preaches a separation of diplomatic track for each new angel it can find dancing on the head of a pin. It does this in order to isolate, bully and blackmail the different fronts of its aggressive war program.

​

The Trump war program targets both established, sovereign nation-state with a formal military, a massive industrial base, and official diplomatic channels as well as grassroots national liberation movements and local defense forces who are fighting for their own specific survival—whether it is ending a decade-long blockade in Yemen or repelling an occupation in southern Lebanon, or dispatched military "trainers" to directly oversee and direct the Filipino army's counter-insurgency operations. 

​

U.S. imperialism is driven by irreconcilable contradictions not only with the colonial and semi-colonial countries it oppresses abroad, but fundamentally by the contradictions between the U.S. reactionaries and the American people. To launch its predatory wars abroad, the U.S. ruling class must first attack the American people. They do this by extracting massive wealth from the working class (over $11,000 per family for the Pentagon budget) and suppressing them politically and economically. 

​

Therefore, the American masses own participation in building a broad popular front against war and imperialism is not a secondary support group. It is engaged in a direct, life-and-death domestic war of liberation against the mob capitalism complex that has metastasized and dramatically worsened after occupying the halls of decision-making power for several generations.

​

To truly dismantle the war machine, the U.S. working class must conquer the ideological weapon of American chauvinism, destroy the internal sabotage of revisionism and social-democracy, and forge its own independent political leadership to coordinate the fundamental transformations needed to genuinely vest sovereignty in the American workers and people.
