In the face of imperialist war in Iran and in acknowledgement of yesterday, we draw inspiration from the heroic Woman, Life, Freedom movement that shook the repressive Iranian regime in 2022.
The mass movement exploded in reaction to the horrific killing of Jina (Mahsa) Amini, a young Kurdish woman, by the so-called morality police for allegedly not wearing the hijab correctly, and later evolved into a struggle to overthrow the Islamic Republic. The movement of young people, women, and workers was met with mass arrests and murder.
US and Israeli imperialism obviously have zero interest in the liberation of Iranians, as Trump disingenuously claims. The anti-regime movement in Iran can have no confidence in Trump, the US, or any imperialist power.
Socialist Alternative stands for a revival of a mass working-class struggle against US imperialism and war, against the repressive and misogynistic Islamic Republic, and for genuine liberation of ordinary Iranians and minority groups like the Kurds.
