Toufan (Party of Labor of Iran): Threat of military attack on Iran, maximum pressure, and negotiation tactics to disarm Iran

 I received this excerpted (?) statement from Toufan:

"Threat of Military Attack on Iran, Maximum Pressure, and Negotiation Tactics to Disarm Iran"

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in a noisy joint press conference with the war criminal and internationally wanted Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, spoke at the White House about the "possible Israeli attack on Iran":

"We'll have to see what happens."

Such a malicious and threatening response, while simultaneously expressing a desire to negotiate with Iran to end the nuclear issue and the danger of producing nuclear weapons, reflects the settlement of accounts to disarm Iran. In response to a question from a journalist who said, "Iran is weakened," Trump rejected this view and said: "Iran is very strong... but that doesn't mean they can't get weak again."

He stated that under the administration of Joe Biden, Iran became "stronger" and added: "When I was in office (first term), they didn’t have money to give to Hamas and Hezbollah. October 7th couldn’t have happened. Under Biden, they quickly became strong and sold a lot of oil to China because they couldn't sell oil during my time."

Trump emphasized that he simply wants Iran to not acquire nuclear weapons and said he would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear arms.

With the maximum pressure policy, Trump claimed he was ready to talk with the President of Iran. He said: "I hope we won't need to use this option (maximum pressure), we’ll have to see if we can reach an agreement with Iran."

He added that he had been "doubtful" about signing this memorandum and claimed: "This is very hard for Iran." "I hope we won't have to use it much."

"What Does USA Want from Iran?"

The truth is that the US imperialism has long since determined its policy towards Iran. Ultimately, they want Iran to become a semi-colonial country, like it was during the Shah's era. They want a country that acts as the regional gendarme, an accomplice of the imperialists in plundering the region’s energy resources and ensuring their extraction and transfer to Western markets. They want an Iran that is opposed to China and Russia, and at the appropriate time, opposed to India, Japan, and perhaps Europe, so that the United States can control the geopolitical and energy chokepoints of the world, tightening and loosening the "screws," with Iran strategically aligned with the U.S. in the Pacific Ocean over the next decade, and opposed to China.

Their problem, contrary to the claims of deceived or self-sold Iranian people, is not Iran’s uranium enrichment and nuclear issue. Any political observer remembers that during Khatami’s presidency, the enrichment was delayed for two years at the request of the U.S. Didn’t Iran, at the U.S. request, agree to sign the Additional Protocol, which is a colonial treaty? Didn’t Iran agree to return the nuclear waste from the Bushehr power plant to Russia at the U.S. request? Didn’t Iran agree to refrain from producing enriched uranium at 20% for research and medical purposes at Tehran University, and instead pay for its purchase from Russia, China, the U.S., Argentina, etc.? Didn’t Hashemi Rafsanjani, with his economic adjustment policies, open the door to the World Bank and the IMF in Iran and implement the demands of the World Trade Organization for privatizing Iran’s public assets? Didn’t he privatize Iran’s oil through the cover of Paasdaaran (G[u]ardian of Revolution) mafia-like private companies?

So why did USA not use these "suitable opportunities" to normalize relations with Iran? Why did the USA tear up the JCPOA, and resort to maximum economic pressure? Why did the USA assassinate General Soleimani?

Therefore, like his predecessor, Donald Trump is lying. Iran’s nuclear weapons are just an excuse, a propaganda tool to mobilize public opinion and disarm Iran. The goal is to exhaust the opponent with promises of negotiation and "a good deal" for Iran, stop Iran from supporting the resistance movements like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis in Yemen, and ultimately address the missile and drone and nuclear issues.

This is the full set of demands of the U.S. for disarming Iran, which aligns with the strategic interests and objectives of the U.S. imperialism and Israeli Zionism in the region.

"The Islamic Republic Has Reached a Deadlock"

The Islamic Republic regime has reached a deadlock today and has lost its regional ally, Syria. While Hezbollah in Lebanon still exists and continues to resist in defiance of the Zionist aggressors, the region has changed, and it is likely that the conflict will spill over into Iraqi territory. It is Iran that must maintain stability on its eastern and western borders, and this can only be achieved by relying on the people, recognizing their rights, livelihood, democratic freedoms, punishing criminals and corrupt individuals, halting the neoliberal policies, stopping privatization, and respecting the rights of the people.

However, this is something the regime, due to its nature, lack of will, internal divisions, and political fragmentation, is incapable of resolving. A regime that has turned its back on its people has no other path than to serve the interests of the imperialists.
