US
imperialism will pay a heavy price if it dares to invade the Islamic Republic
of Iran. The shooting down of a colossally expensive American spy-drone last
week showed what Iran’s air-defences can do against the most sophisticated
equipment in the imperialist arsenal. Whether that, in itself, will stay Donald
Trump’s hand, or those of the war-mongers that surround him in the White House,
remains to be seen.
Trump is an armchair general – a
third-rate bully who believes that he can get what he wants through blockades,
sanctions and threats. He stepped up the sanctions regime against Iran this
week targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other senior
officials in the Islamic Republic. He clearly thinks this will force them to do
his bidding but he is much mistaken.
The Americans tried to colonise and
partition Iraq after they overthrew the Saddam Hussein government in 2003. That
failed. They tried to impose a puppet regime on Libya when they brought down
the Gaddafi government in 2011. That didn’t work out either. They marked down
Syria for ‘regime change’ soon after. The Syrian people and their popular front
government put an end to that too.
Now Trump’s minions, along with Tony Blair
and other lackeys of imperialism, are trying to impose a surrender peace on the
Palestinian Arabs. It won’t happen.
