Apocalyptic scenes are coming out of Iran: clouds of toxic black smoke choking the residents of Tehran, and black acid rain falling from the skies. Imperialism isn’t just responsible for the direct casualties of war – it is also responsible for ecological catastrophe.

We are in the second week of the US-Israeli war on Iran, but things are not going as planned. Trump’s reckless actions are spiralling out of control and could become the undoing of his Presidency. Communists are clear: Hands off Iran! Down with US-Israel imperialism!

Starmer’s spineless, bootlicking, hypocritical response to the latest US-Israeli attack on Iran demonstrates the tightrope he walks in British and world politics. We say: Hands off Iran! No to imperialist war! Starmer out! Down with their rotten system!
