Today Yankee imperialism carried out a criminal aggression against Iran. For this attack it also used its lackey, the State of Israel. President Donald Trump described the attack as “major combat operations”. Bombings took place in multiple locations of the country with a special focus in the capital, Tehran. Iran closed its airspace completely and it has also retaliated, attacking several US and Israeli targets in the region of Middle East.

According to the Yankee bourgeois media Axios, the aggression included plans to strike senior Iranian political and military leadership. The Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian were among those considered targets in the opening phase of the operation. Directly targeting Khamenei was reportedly among the military options reviewed by President Donald Trump. The first strike was said to have occurred near offices associated with the Ayatollah. Many other ministries as well as airports were struck.

The aggression has shown also the brutality of Yankee imperialism and the State of Israel, which despite their propaganda of doing “surgical operations” and very precise attacks, they actually targeted several schools, and in one of these attacks, they murdered at least 24 children.

Iran has already responded to the aggression. It has targeted the US military base in Bahrein. Reuters reported a “huge explosion” in Abu Dhabi, citing eyewitnesses, amid claims that Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates — a key facility hosting US forces — had been struck. Explosions were also reported in Dubai, while sirens were heard in Kuwait.

Iran launched dozens of missiles and droned against the State of Israel. Sirens across Israel have been activated and there are evacuations all over the country. There is also extensive footage of Iranian projectiles flying over Israeli cities such as Haifa and Tel Aviv.

There have been already protests in Iranian cities, for example students gathered at the Sharif University of Technology to condemn the attack.

Yankee imperialism, the sole hegemonic superpower has, once more, unleashed a criminal aggression against a sovereign nation, using also its faithful lackey, the State of Israel. Yankee imperialism tries to dictate the fate of other countries by unleashing its military power against them, but in doing so, they will ignite the justified anger of the peoples of the Middle East and will give an impulse to the anti-imperialist mobilization all over the world.
