The victory of the Democrats in the midterm elections was seen by many as a decisive rejection of Trump by the American public, especially war with Iran. But can this “no” from the public be seen as the end of the war and the removal of the risk of another attack? No. It is true that the control of Congress by the Democrats will create restrictions for Trump, but the fascists still dominate the main centers of power, namely the presidency and the Supreme Court.

Trump has eight golden weeks before a new Democratic-controlled Congress convenes. He is reportedly under pressure from his advisers to launch a major attack on Iran within that time frame.

The U.S. carried out a “limited” attack on Qeshm last night, and Trump reiterated that he will soon decide whether to destroy Iran.

Although negotiations are still ongoing, the possibility of an attack on Iran's nuclear infrastructure leading to nuclear explosions is so high that domestic media outlets have begun educating citizens about it and how to protect themselves, even distributing iodine tablets near nuclear facilities. No one can predict what will happen in the coming days, but it is important to know a few things to understand what is coming.

1. Trump has carried out the attack on Iran in response to the necessities of preserving the American empire, and how he advances or ends it also depends on what he considers more suitable for the American empire in the world and the supremacy of the fascist faction within the United States at this point.

2. As a result of this election, the contradictions between the Trump-Maga faction and the mainstream of the American ruling class will intensify, and this intensification will affect both the domestic space and the international role of the United States.

The opposition of most Democratic Party candidates and politicians to a war against Iran focused solely on the harm this war would cause to American lives, "American interests," and American pockets, and not on the completely unnecessary and horrific suffering it would inflict on the Iranian people. Therefore, it is a grave mistake to call the Democratic Party anti-war.

If the Democrats, after the formation of the new Congress, use all means to end the war against Iran, it is only because they want to preserve the interests of the American empire, in a different way from the fascist faction but with the same goal. In the opinion of many of them, the war with Iran has distracted America from its main rival, China.

The reality is that there is a real risk of war between the United States and its rivals, Russia and China—all of whom are nuclear powers.

This does not mean that the threat and pressure will be lifted for the Iranian people, but rather that it will mean greater dangers for all peoples of the world, including Iran. For this reason, we reiterate that organizing people independently of governments and the frameworks of the existing system against war and imperialism is a necessary and urgent action for all of us.
