My latest in @jacobinmag.bsky.social on the illegal US-Israeli war on #Iran: a war not only on a state, but on Iran’s sovereign development and the social achievements built by generations of Iranians. jacobin.com/2026/04/isre...

Israel and the US Have Been Waging War on Iran’s Development

Who gets to decide if a war is justified: those living it, or those watching from afar? Nahid Siamdoust explores the anguished divide among Iranians at home and in the diaspora. newlinesmag.com/argument/a-a...

An Anguished Debate Among Iranians

Divisions between those who oppose the war on their home country and those who have, through suffering and desperation, come to support it will not be resolved easily

An anti-war politics adequate to the Iranian present must therefore be both anti-imperialist and anti-authoritarian. It must reject the false choice between bombs and massacres, between devastation and prisons, between foreign intervention and domestic repression.

„He’s made a lot of statements that, over the years, have at times revealed not the most sophisticated understanding of geopolitics, or even of Iran,” Ghazvinian added. “He has not really put together a coherent political movement until fairly recently.”

„Mehrere Iran-stämmige Politiker*innen haben ihre Unterstützung für Pahlavi erklärt. Auf monarchistischen Demonstrationen gehören Parolen wie »Tod den Linken« zum Repertoire. In Wien drohten sie Linken mit Hinrichtungen. Diese Aussagen sind dokumentiert, öffentlich & eindeutig.“ @nd-aktuell.de

🗓️ It's Friday evening in #Iran where internet remains heavily filtered 22 full days after the blackout as whitelisting and intermittent connectivity continue to limit Iranians' contact with the outside world. Networks are visible internationally but broadly restricted.

Mehrere Menschenrechtsorganisationen halten die offiziellen Zahlen für deutlich zu niedrig. Der Leiter der Organisation Iran Human Rights, (…)verweist auf Erfahrungen früherer Proteste: In der Vergangenheit habe die Regierung selbst nur einen Bruchteil der nachweisbaren Fälle bestätigt.

Die großen Proteste im Iran gegen das Regime haben Tausende Tote hinterlassen – verlässliche Zahlen gibt es jedoch kaum. Was sich sagen lässt, trotz aller Lücken.

The recent turn toward monarchism should therefore be understood primarily as a symptom rather than a cause. It is driven less by conviction than by desperation, produced over decades in which the Islamic Republic has systematically quashed peaceful efforts to bring about change from within.

Wo die Monarchisten ideologisch steht, ist eigentlich kein Geheimnis. Vor 3 Jahren nahmen sie 3 Gruppen in ihre Todeslisten auf: „Tod den drei Verdorbenen: Mullahs, Linken, Mudschaheddin“. Sie wollen im Falle einer Machtübernahme ähnlich mit ihren Gegnern umgehen wie das aktuelle iranische Regime.

Against the killing machine of the Islamic Republic, and in solidarity with the popular uprising in Iran, we take to the streets to declare with one voice: death is the only thing this despotism deserves—not the people. - No to all forms of Tyranny

Families gathered around a television screen, waiting with grim anticipation as a slideshow of brutalised faces appeared on their screen. The wailing of women could be heard in the background as people lifted the black plastic sheeting covering the dead.

„This is why the chant “Death to the tyrant, whether king or [supreme] leader” resonates so powerfully. Iranians are rejecting the Islamic Republic, but also foreign-backed alternatives such as Reza Pahlavi, who asks the protesters to fight to the end from the comfort of his home near Washington.“

Iran’s protests strike at the heart of the regime’s legitimacy. Can they succeed? The Islamic Republic has always shown creativity in survival. But this time it faces demands that cannot be defused with material concessions. www.972mag.com/iran-protest...
