From Osyan:

To Trump and the Mossad: Hands Off Iran!
To the People of Iran: We Will Overthrow the Islamic Republic Ourselves!

Revcom.us editors’ note: This is a statement from Osyan on the current upsurge of protest in Iran. Osyan (which means “rebellion” in the Farsi language) is a group of Iranian and Afghan women who are the voice of women’s rebellion to express the determination, and to serve the struggle against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Taliban. Check at revcom.us for further coverage of the protests in Iran.

After several days have passed since the widespread protests in Iran, the Mossad, the Israeli Minister of Technology, and Trump issued messages declaring their “support” for the protesters! In reality, under the guise of support, they issued threats to use military weapons! For us, it is clear that such support from genocidal forces and fascists means leading the freedom of the Iranian people to the slaughterhouse.

Therefore, we loudly declare that our just struggles against the Islamic regime provides no justification whatsoever for your political or military interventions! Hands off Iran! If you have been lying in wait for an opportunity to attack Iran again, know this: we will not allow you to turn our protests into an opportunity for your warmongering and your interests. We fight for freedom, and if you place yourselves in the path of our freedom and interfere in it, we will fight you as well.

Where do they derive the audacity to make such statements? From the fact that the cry of our clear alignment against such criminal forces have not yet reached their ears! Whether our cries have been too faint, drowned out in the corridors of the media, or taken hostage by a puppet opposition makes no difference. Now is the time to resolutely make our voice heard: the people of Iran will in no way welcome your bombs! They have no illusions about your so-called alternative-making projects or your interventions! And if up to now Iran’s history has been shaped by the interventions and pacts of global powers, now is the time to take our destiny into our own hands.

If the people of Iran succeed in raising this voice, they will not only reduce the danger of war, destruction, and foreign intervention, but they will also be more successful in the internal struggle. This struggle will gain greater legitimacy for all the people of the world and will receive broader international support, and no one will dare to label it with security tags such as “pro-imperialist,” “American,” and the like.

Support from Trump and the Mossad will not reduce the repression of the Islamic Republic in the slightest: on the contrary, it will enable the Islamic Republic to label every protester a “spy” and intensify repression. Indeed, the Islamic Republic has already begun trading war threats in order to once again drive the people—beyond poverty—into the arms of war!

We tell the people: believe in your own power! Your power, even in these five days—despite lack of organization and the absence of a clear vision of the future we want—has forced politicians inside and outside the country to react. We do not need their help; they are the ones who need us in order to rule and dominate, and we must not become their instruments. Anyone who has even for a moment been encouraged by these statements should remember the twelve-day attack on Iran and the two-year genocide in Palestine.

We want these people and this land free, not destroyed! Free from the Islamic Republic and free from imperialism. With our own hands, we can—and must—overthrow the Islamic Republic.

Osyan

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!
