UNAC: Statement of solidarity with Iran and Yemen against escalating US and Israeli aggression

Originally sent out on the afternoon of April 21st and first posted at:  nepajac.org/Iranyemen.htm  


Note – the leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah was apparently born May 22, 1979 in the Saada Governorate, at the northwest corner of country, at the time the Yemen Arab Republic or North Yemen:  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul-Malik_al-Houthi



Statement of Solidarity with Iran and Yemen Against Escalating U.S. and Israeli Aggression


[Photo:  Protest in Yemen for Palestine]


The United Anti War Coalition, which was founded 15 years ago to gather forces to oppose all U.S. wars, called at that time for an end to all U.S. aid to Israel.  We see the real threat to regional and global peace comes not from the sovereign actions of Iran and Yemen, but from the genocidal, murderous imperatives of the United States and its Zionist ally, Israel. Iran pursues a peaceful nuclear program for energy security and economic progress under international law; yet U.S. and Israeli regimes distort its objectives with fabricated intelligence, extremist rhetoric, and aggressive military planning designed to force regime change and impose maximum-pressure sanctions. On Palm Sunday, Israel bombed the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza—crippling vital health services—while U.S. forces escalated their campaign in Yemen by targeting hospitals, factories, and water infrastructure near Sanaa. In Yemen, Ansar Allah demonstrated resolute self-defense by downing the 19th U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone, a powerful rebuke to imperial aggression.

Iran and Yemen stand as sovereign nations that exercise self-determination and valiantly support Palestinian resistance. Their independent resolve challenges U.S. and Israeli plans to transform regional actors into vassal states—just as they have subdued Gulf monarchies like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain. Iran and Yemen are the last robust bulwarks against complete U.S./Zionist domination in West Asia. U.S. provocations have forced these nations to build sophisticated underground defenses and hardened military capabilities that protect their people and counter imperial designs. Iran defends its right to maintain a nuclear deterrent—a cornerstone of its sovereignty—without any obligation to disarm until Israel first dismantles its illegal, unmonitored nuclear arsenal.

In Yemen, the United States remains unaware of where Ansar Allah and the Yemeni Armed Forces conceal their command centers and heavy weapons. As a result, U.S. forces target civilian infrastructure and murder innocents in a misguided attempt to weaken a determined people. Despite these brutal tactics, millions of Yemenis take to the streets every Friday to demonstrate their solidarity with Palestine, support Ansar Allah under Sayyed Malik Al Houthi, and reaffirm their unwavering determination to defeat U.S. and Israeli-led imperialism.

We must not repeat the tragic inaction that allowed Syria to collapse; our silence then emboldened brutal US-backed proxies and cost countless lives. Today, Iran and Yemen stand as vital resistances against an imperial system bent on subjugating sovereign nations. It is our moral and strategic duty to defend their sovereignty and right to self-defense as vigorously as we defend Palestine’s right to resist occupation.

Victory to Iran and Yemen! Down with imperialism and Zionism!

Condemnation of the brutal American aggression against Yemen

If I recall correctly the Islamic Resistance and IJ of Palestine also condemned the new bombing early on and the Yemeni Ansar Allah government referred to Anglo-US bombing.  Through Toufan (the Party of Labor of Iran):


Press Release of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine PFLP

The Popular Front condemns the brutal American aggression against Yemen and emphasizes that Yemen will remain a thorn in the eye of the aggressors.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine strongly condemns the extensive American aggression against Yemen and stresses that this crime is an extension of the war crimes and genocide that imperialism and Zionism have committed against the Arab people.
We express our full solidarity with the brotherly people of Yemen, extend our condolences for the martyrs killed in this unjust aggression, wish speedy recovery for our injured heroes, and emphasize that the blood of the martyrs will be the guiding light of perseverance and resistance, and will not be in vain. Instead, it will strengthen Yemen's resolve to confront the aggression.
This brutal aggression will not succeed in breaking the will of the free people of Yemen, who, despite the siege and the aggressions they face, have never hesitated in their support for Palestine and embrace of Gaza.
Anyone who supports Yemen supports Palestine and the Arab people's right to confront colonial and hegemonic projects.
We emphasize that Yemen, which stands at the forefront of defending the dignity of the Arabs, will not be defeated, will not raise the white flag, and will remain a thorn in the sides of the aggressors.
We call on the masses and the free people of the world to take to the streets in support of Yemen, condemn this brutal aggression, and emphasize that resistance is the only inevitable option to neutralize the aggressive plans, and that the will of the people cannot be broken by planes and missiles.
Long live steadfast Yemen! Victory to resistance!
Shame on the American and Zionist aggressors and their agents!

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"
A person in a suit writing on a paper

AI-generated content may be incorrect.
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.

CEP Policy Brief: Identifying and Disrupting Key Antisemitic Actors

(New York, N.Y.) — Last week, New York City saw a wave of anti-Israel protests during the United Nations General Assembly, renewing fears about the surge of antisemitism that has plagued the West since October 7. The unrest included vandalization of pro-Israel politicians’ offices—including with the red triangle Hamas uses to mark targets—and signs supporting the designated terrorist organization Hezbollah.

These are not isolated incidents. In the wake of Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel and the ensuing war, many countries have experienced an unprecedented increase in antisemitic speech, acts, and events both on and offline. Researchers and policy experts have since tried to count and map the extent of the incidents, but few have focused on the key actors behind them.

CEP Senior Advisor Alexander Ritzmann outlines a five-step policy recommendation for government bodies to tackle antisemitism by identifying and disrupting the activities of each country’s key antisemitic actors. Ritzmann recommends a risk-based, disruption-oriented approach, focusing government efforts and resources on those elements that represent the biggest risk to Jews in their respective countries. This involves focusing first on incidents that occurred during 7-8 October 2023, when Israel was still fighting attackers inside the country and before it had launched a counteroffensive.

Ritzmann’s five-step guide includes assessing the ranking levels of risk, assessing timelines, tracking key antisemitic symbols, identifying networks and disrupting finances.
