Venezuela was never Marxist at any point in time let alone now that Maduro was sold out for burger gibs.

>>2800342
I assume the narrative among Venezuelans that still Trust The Plan is that Venezuela is pulling a Deng and just opening up to Western markets so it can develop itself towards socialism. Of course this is retarded but, it is what it is.

anyway, to return the topic to Iran.
for the amount of stuff that has arrived to UAE, it seems it's going to be them that will receive a large whack from Iran.

>>2800451
it seems to me they want to create a buffer zone.

>>2800344
They wouldnt have much choice in the matter because China doesnt project hard power. If anything they shouldve done this long ago given the circumstances and their geographic location.

Do you guys actually think Cuba will fall though? It's not exactly an important piece of the chess anyway in 2026 but it seem the country is still at the hand of hardliners and they still have popular support in spite of their mediocre management.
I could see the US pull a Maduro but i doubt theyll decapitate the party and replace it with something else like Florida cubans want.

I can't believe that some propagandists in the US want to blame the fall of spirit as a 'socialist' thing.
They are deflecting how the US-Iran war roots the collapse of that airline.
Is this the narrative that the global right will use now?
a) Deflect attention from the conflict
b) call it socialism
???

>>2800471
Cuba is untamable.

It's basically inevitable given their geographic location and lack of allies. The fact the US didn't invade Cuba sooner always struck me as odd. Do the Cubans have missiles capable of hitting Florida? Is that why?


>>2800458
>all they’d create is another resistance
Hopefully a non cucked class-based one

>>2800480
Yet the Americans were willing to go to war in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, etc with much less favorable conditions. I just think it's odd no American president since the 1980's has even tried. Is it really just that they're scared of a insurgency? I mean they could just carpet bomb the country endlessly for years until the Cubans are exhausted. Being so close to the continental US makes it very easy to sustain an endless campaign of bombings.

File: 1777793860034.png (125.75 KB, 601x823, ClipboardImage.png)

>>2800473 (me)
yup, it's a coordinated psyop.
deflect the attention from the president bombing Iran, because that had nothing to do, apparently.

>>2800483
not sure, but a couple things may be relevant. the cold peace with cuba was a cold war arrangement with the ussr that is part of american mythology around kennedy averting a most dangerous nuclear crisis in america's favor. there may be some lingering institutional respect for that and a desire that it could cause additional problems with russia when it was supposed to be settled. Democratic presidents may be more reluctant to reopen the issue without a good reason, and Republican presidents may not really want to solve/end the cuba issue because it being alive helps give them the gusano vote every election.
I think there was also a desire to have the western hemisphere seem peaceful and democratic after the cold war, and that cuba wasn't an actual threat of any sort so why not just stick to strangling it with sanctions and leave it as a cautionary tale about defying the american way and how resistance is futile.
Notice that no previous presidents ever tried to use the military option for Venezuela either.
I go back to the same thing with Trump, he's here at a moment when US hegemony feels desperate and they're willing to take drastic measures they wouldn't have taken in the past when they felt secure. And they have the perfect patsy in trump because they can later frame him as a crazy outsider who doesn't really represent the us elite and his criminal rampage was just him being an unhinged anomaly and not an actual us strategy to maintain global dominance.

>Republican presidents may not really want to solve/end the cuba issue because it being alive helps give them the gusano vote every election.
I think this is correct.
Nevertheless, I think the nazi techbro faction of the haute bourg has successfully couped the states, sothe two party system might get dismantled within our lifetimes which would mean Cuba is gonna be free for takers

>>2800471
>in spite of their mediocre management
this accusation is always ridiculous to me, like its obviously born from pure idealism and US propaganda. What the fuck could they even do better, what is actually "mismanaged"?
people also have the same accusation on venezuela, which, I certainly think more marxist radicality could have helped, but it could have also started the US bombing them much sooner too, and in the context of the US sanctions, they've done pretty good. But as they dare survive under crushing sanctions, they're accused of "mismanaging" as if there was a magic management strategy that would solve being under economic warfare by the imperial hegemon

>>2800581
like given the pressure they're under, if they were "mismanaged" they would have crumbled a long time ago already

you don't need yanis fucking varoufakis to know that, out of all people. a guy cosplaying as communist, but then renames capitalism as 'techno-feudalism' and works directly with a zionist billionaire.
I mean it's better than many other podcasters, outright right-wingers and proud zionists, but don't oversell him.
just reading or hearing what bessent states under the congress to get the bail out approved is enough.
basically he confessed that UAE told them 'either bails us out or we switch to RMB'. he tried to spin it in a way that the decision of bailing out UAE means that the US is strong and such, but he then confesses that the request was made like one day before, showing that the emergency of the request was such, bessent ran like a little bitch wasting no time.
both things cannot be true:
a) 'the us dollar is stronger than ever.'
b) 'I couldn't wait more than 24 hours to get this request immediately approved'
and people who know, know. all currency trade and market analysts know that he showed weakness.

P.S.: UAE has trillions in wealth funds.
they could survive the blockade for years.

>PRC has called on Iran

I am pretty sure China 'calls on all parties involved'. Also, they, along Russia, precisely blocked a UNSC resolution promoted by the Bahrain, with support from GCC members (Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE) and Jordan, that would have required blue helmets to go and open the strait, basically forcing the world to declare war against Iran.
>Iran has continuously modified (softened) it's proposals
you are lying, lmao.
These are the 14 proposals. They haven't changed or softened.
1. Guarantees of non-military aggression
2. Withdrawal of US combat forces from all regional bases
3. Lifting the naval blockade of Iranian ports
4. Release of all frozen Iranian assets abroad
5. Full compensation payments to Iran for war damages
6. Lifting all primary sanctions
7. Lifting all secondary sanctions
8. Ending all UNSC resolutions against Iran
9. Ending all IAEA Board of Governors resolutions
10. End of war on all fronts including Lebanon
11. New Strait of Hormuz mechanism under Iranian sovereignty
12. Controlled passage protocol with Iran's armed forces coordinating transit
13. All above items ratified in a binding UNSC resolution
14. Nuclear discussions deferred entirely to a subsequent phase

what are the pro IR subreddits on reddit?

The only one actually softening his positions is the US:
>Fars: Latest news from the negotiations; Iran is reviewing the US response to the written proposal

>The recent claim by Al Jazeera about the details of Iran's proposed framework to the US is far from reality and basically relates to the US proposal from 20 days ago, which has been updated several times since.


>The proposal published by Al Jazeera includes a 15-year halt to enrichment, resolution of 60% uranium, and gradual release of the Strait of Hormuz, which dates back 20 days and was strongly rejected by Iran at that time.


>According to Fars reporter's information, after this proposal, the US has updated its proposal three more times, and Iran has fundamentally not accepted the previous proposals.


>In the recent 9-article US proposal, such conditions as published by Al Jazeera do not exist, because the US side knows Iran will not accept these conditions and has therefore adjusted its proposal.


>In the latest developments, Iran has presented a 14-article proposal clearly stating its red lines.


>It is worth noting that Iran's 14-article proposal was submitted in response to the US 9-article plan and, contrary to Al Jazeera's report, does not include acceptance of a 15-year enrichment halt or release of the Strait of Hormuz.


>The Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced an hour ago that the US side has sent a response to Iran's written proposal and we are reviewing this proposal.

>honey, it's the time of the day where you have to read more of that sweet trump's nonsense.

>>2800928
I don't think there is one. Reddit will ban you for not supporting Israel.

so a bit late for me to spam xitter screenshots, so the gist of what I saw :
US tried to sanction some china oil refiners taking iran oil, china immediately retaliated with its own anti sanction measures : basically if you obey US sanction on them you are sanctioned by china in return, and china banks and shit are forbidden from applying the US sanctions
ceasefire in lebanon falling down completely (not that israel ever respected a ceasefire in its entire existence anyway)
iran seized a ship
some big iranian tanker going to china managed to pass
trump declaring yet another retarded operation about escorting ships in hormuz
immediately after a ship in hormuz was hit by some drones
both sides keep saying they dont agree on the negotiations points, fake news aplenty on those
I say buckle up for another round

china about to finally stop doing nothing?

>OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, is in crisis after the United Arab Emirates (UAE), its third-largest producer, left the group. Donald Trump openly praised the decision, saying it is good for the United States. The US government opposes OPEC, which is rooted in the Third World nationalist movements of the 1960s, which sought more economic resources for the Global South. The USA wants its Big Oil corporations to dominate the industry.

recap:
>Trump promised some sort of escorts through the Ormuz strait, with an operation named Project Freedom.
>the white house denied such thing will be implemented. no project freedom.
>trump rejected Iran's proposals
>but the white house officials came out saying the negotiation are honkiedorie.
>Iranians replied to that last statements as 'they are delulu'.

>>2801068
I can imagine things going south when trump finds out that a bunch of industries in China don't give a fuck about US sanctions.

>>2800886
>Blood flowing is a necessity
Is it more because they are generally bloodthirsty or because they see that Israel is crumbling and their support is waning and Iran, US and the world will move past them if they don't secure best possible outcome for Israel right now.

>>2801176
I'm far from a ZOGfag but the israel angle cannot be ignored. The Iran war might not be mainly about Israel from the top of the US but it's largely about securing the entire region for Israel.

>US and the world will move past them if they don't secure best possible outcome for Israel right now.

Zionists are preparing Andinia right as we speak so the world won't move on, but the middle east might.

I sometimes think that maybe the Venezuela op wasn't just a low hanging fruit to serve Trumps vanity, but attempt to secure oil that American refineries could more readily use. Venezuelan oil industry is just in shambles and US already had an access to it before.

It was an attempt by T admin to test and see what would happen, because they're desperate and stupid. They got shot at, and are denying it, even though Iran confirmed.

Appears that another anti-ship missile was launched somewhere in the Persian Gulf and it triggered the UAE's land alarm system.

This is confirmation that Iran is indeed using missiles in the waters.

Possible that Iran didn't break the cease fire in this case either. Adm. Cooper claimed the U.S. attacked some Iranian small craft, which makes me think the U.S. attacked them first and now Iran is retailiating by launching at the UAE and at tankers.

Iran is doing imperialism though. Interimperialist conflict.

there was a article i saw explaining the difference. a lot of it in ukraine is that they have civilians and units on the ground spotting drones coming in from russia.

Israel reeling from ‘unexpected high military casualties’ in Lebanon

>By Jack Barton

>Reporting from Amman, Jordan
>In Israel, it seems there’s a lot of unity about the war in Iran and the fact that it is sort of unfinished business.

>But when it comes to the war in Lebanon, opinion is a lot more split – among the public, the military and the politicians. A lot of this is because of the unexpectedly high number of Israeli military casualties being caused by Hezbollah’s new tactic of using drones tethered to fibre-optic cables, for which there is no real defence at the moment.


>There are calls to draw down more soldiers, there are also calls to simply abandon the ceasefire and go harder on the offensive and there are even some calls to target civilian targets in Lebanon.


>But of course, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu knows he is largely constrained by the wishes of US President Trump, so it’s likely we’ll see a continuation of what’s happening. That means a slight drawdown of troops in southern Israel, who we’re told are increasingly demoralised while demolitions of villages and artillery and air strikes continue in Lebanon.


>All the while in Israel, more and more people ask what this war has actually achieved.

It's insane that UAE and America believes there's any rope left in this endeavor. Completely delusional man.

It's like watching someone with a severe personality disorder keep making the same mistakes forever until they eat shit

>>2801867
America has kind of put itself in a position where they cannot ever admit defeat, especially not in such a short timespan where the guy who started the war is still in office. It's not so much that it would be electoral suicide(elections don't matter lol) but that it would be suicidal to US foreign policy/soft power to admit they are no longer a superpower and can no longer engage in regime change operations on a whim. Like if the US admits defeat to the Iranians it would probably embolden other antiimperialist groups like the Houthis to take a more aggressive stance in the region and possibly overthrow the Saudi regime. Everyone knows UAE is basically a joke military, if the US is no longer able to protect them what will happen to their slave society?

Sir this is a Marxist board (lol) and we recognize that destruction is an end of war not merely the means

>>2801904

>>2801903

There is no "admit defeat", there is only real victory and defeat, whether or not they achieved their war goals (conquering the country and forcing regime change). And there is no way they are ever doing that now, so it doesn't matter whether they put out a formal statemente of defeat or not, everyone knows it

>>2801911
>There is no "admit defeat", there is only real victory and defeat
You're approaching this from a materialist standpoint, but the political(domestic and international) optics of losing a war is worse than the optics of being in an endless state of war.
Trump can manage an endless war and just manipulate the markets in his favor with endless lies every week. What he can't manage is his strongman persona being damaged by admitting defeat.

The US already lost this war, this is basically irrefutable, but the US will never pull out of the region, and so long as Israel, US, or Iran exist, the war will never be over.

>>2801915
>You're approaching this from a materialist
Words mean nothing

>>2801908
China is americas greatest threat, so them blowing their missile interceptor stockpile (which will take decades to rebuild) on Iran was no doubt a stupid ass move on the part of the empire

>>2801915
The domestic and international optics of crashing the world economy with the biggest oil crisis since the 70s are far worse than a negotiated loss, even if the optics were what matters here the most. There's been numerous occasions on which the US government was forced to back down from economic moves it was trying to make, tarrifs being the most obvious example

>>2801908
>Hormuz still under Iranian control
>US eating shit, but not wanting to admit it
I don't smell a victory for international capital here.

Actually, what the fuck do we mean when we name "international capital"? We're not using some idealist bullshit, are we? As if "international capital" is everywhere and nowhere at once?

It's real money, held by real people, with names, and addresses. most of which are in the US. Others in London. Some are hiding in Switzerland. So "international capital" means mostly "western capital". Japan tried to join it, but got slapped down by the Plaza Accords.

>>2801921
Yeah but that tends to bear out in real time through international pressure, not a unilateral retreat from the US just because they can no longer achieve their goals and give up. It basically falls on the Europeans, India, Japan, Brazil, Pakistan, etc to pressure the Americans into backing down and so far all of them except China and kinda-sorta Pakistan are on the side of the international zionist death cult.

If the US ever backs down it'll be because the Europeans decide to move towards Russia and away from NATO due to the war economically starving them. The fact the Europeans still refuse to do this and are just eating shit for Zionism is why the war is still ongoing lol, and also indicates that things aren't "bad enough" yet. The US doesn't move without the agreement and consent of its international partners, even if they will publicly lie about the US attacking Iran without their consent blahblah. This isn't to absolve the Americans of blame though. Vietnam only ended up the way it did because the domestic pressure was too great and was threatening to upend the entire US government if they didn't pull out. No such thing exists in the US as of yet. There are some pink pussy yoga classes being done in designated protest zones in major cities(far away from any synagogues or israeli consulates) but there's no actual domestic pressure since burgers seem to think Democrats will save them from ZIonism(lol).

I think if the war goes on into the summer we might get more violent uncontrolled displays of dissent, and Trump will try to double down as a result because it's in his nature. If he does and things continue to get worse with domestic unrest, that's when you can expect the Americans to start looking for an exit ramp while framing it as "Mission Accomplished". If America's international partners also start backing away from the war it'll be all the more likely America will pull out.

CHINA BLOCKS US SANCTIONS
https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/5/3/china-blocks-us-sanctions-against-five-teapot-refineries

>China has announced an injunction to block US sanctions placed on five Chinese refiners accused ‌of buying oil from Iran.

>The US sanctions announced by the Department of the Treasury late last month bar the refiners from the US financial system and seek to penalise anyone doing business with the firms.
>In a statement on Saturday, China’s Ministry of Commerce said the sanctions “improperly” restrict business between Chinese enterprises and third countries “in violation of international law and the basic norms governing international relations”.
>The Commerce Ministry said it had issued a “prohibition order” stipulating that the sanctions “shall not be recognized, enforced, or complied with,” calling the order a move to “safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests”.
>“The Chinese government has consistently opposed unilateral sanctions that lack UN authorisation and basis in international law,” the ministry added.
>It said the order blocked US measures against Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery and four other so-called “teapot” refineries: Shandong Jincheng Petrochemical Group, Hebei Xinhai Chemical Group, Shouguang Luqing Petrochemical and Shandong ⁠Shengxing Chemical.
>Announcing the sanctions on April 24, the US Treasury Department called Hengli “one of Tehran’s most valued customers”, saying it had generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the Iranian military through crude oil purchases.
>The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the other four refineries named by the Chinese ministry, among other facilities, last year.
>China gets more than half of its oil from the Middle East, much of it from Iran.
>According to commodities data firm Kpler, China bought more than 80 percent of the oil Iran shipped in 2025.
>China’s “teapot” refineries operate independently and are generally smaller than the facilities run by state-owned oil giants, such as Sinopec.
>The facilities, which have been crucial to China’s efforts to secure its oil supplies, capitalise on heavily discounted crude sold by countries under sanctions, such as Iran, Russia and Venezuela.
>Teapots account for a quarter of Chinese ⁠refinery capacity, operate with narrow and sometimes negative margins, and have been squeezed recently by tepid domestic demand.
>US sanctions have created additional hurdles for refiners, including difficulties selling refined products under their correct place-of-origin markings.

The American Century of Humiliation is in full swing.

>>2801908
>Wars aren't started by irrational actors, they're natural consequence of our social order and its mounting contradictions.
not mutually exclusive. a war can be primarily a product of our social system, and secondarily a product of irrational actors within that system lashing out, since the actors themselves are also a product of the system. the iran war here was a completely unforced error on the part of the USA, since the USA had a pre-trump imperialist paradigm in the JCPOA that was serving them quite well, and the Iranians were willing to abide by it because even though it was unfair, it was nothing compared to them getting their leaders and generals and scientists assassinated and their civilians bombed.

That's how I've thought of this whole era of US politics. It's like all the propaganda pushed on boomers and Gen X about American exceptionalism and "war is peace" is coming home to roost. Now these lunatics are in charge and wholeheartedly believe the cold war propaganda their parents instilled into them just so they could keep doing Jim Crow. It's interesting that a country's education system really does have a profound effect on its future political competency. And also incredibly bleak because our education system is the worst its ever been.

>In the Gulf countries, the economy is largely based on oil and gas, ports and maritime transport, construction, and urban services. The operation of these vital economic sectors depends heavily on migrant labor. A large portion of the workers employed in refineries, ports, construction projects, urban services, and transportation come from countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, the Philippines, and several Arab states—workers who are often employed under harsh conditions, with low wages and limited rights.

>As a result, the primary and most immediate victims of these attacks are the workers, because when infrastructure is targeted, their workplaces and living spaces are directly attacked, and their daily security and livelihoods are destroyed.These are the workers who face the immediate consequences of bombings, explosions, and destruction, paying the true price of war with their lives.

>Smotrich: Including Arab party in government ‘a thousand times’ worse than Oct. 7 failures

>Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich sparked an uproar on Tuesday when he asserted that former prime minister Naftali Bennett’s decision to include the Islamist Ra’am party in his 2021-2022 government was far worse than the governmental failures tied to Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught — the worst attack on civilians in Israeli history, which saw some 1,200 people murdered and 251 taken hostage, and which led to a multi-front war in which some 900 others have been killed.


<Neither Smotrich nor the interviewer pointed out that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is widely reported to have been the first to try his best to form a government with Ra’am after that same election. Smotrich himself has repeatedly asserted so, and claimed that this scenario was only thwarted by his veto on the matter at the time.

The Anti Imperialist Struggle in West Asia and the World
Intervention by Booker Omole

Comrades,
The question before us is not whether a wider war will emerge in what is referred to as the Middle East, a term of colonial origin which obscures the real geography of struggle.
The reality is that war is already unfolding in West Asia.
What we are witnessing is not a series of isolated conflicts, but the development of a unified and expanding system of imperialist war.
This system reflects the deepening crisis of imperialism as a global formation.

West Asia has become its central theatre.
In Palestine, the ongoing destruction of Gaza represents the clearest expression of imperialist violence. This is not an isolated humanitarian catastrophe. It is a sustained political and military project, supported materially and politically by United States imperialism, with Zionism functioning as its principal regional instrument.
This situation is not simply one of occupation. It is a mechanism of coercion directed at the entire region.
The escalation against Iran marks a further development of this trajectory. The use of military pressure, economic sanctions, and control over maritime routes reflects a coordinated strategy of containment directed against any force that resists imperialist domination.

At the same time, resistance has developed in different forms across the region. In Yemen, control over strategic maritime corridors has been contested. In Lebanon, the balance of forces has constrained further expansion of war. In Iraq, opposition to foreign military presence remains a central political contradiction.
These developments must be understood not as separate phenomena, but as interconnected expressions of a single regional contradiction between imperialist intervention and popular resistance.

Comrades,
From a Marxist Leninist standpoint, it is necessary to identify the principal contradiction.
In the present conjuncture, this contradiction is between United States imperialism, together with its Zionist instrument in West Asia, and the oppressed peoples and states that resist its domination.United States imperialism constitutes the central organising force of intervention, coercion, and political destabilisation in the region. Zionism operates as a forward instrument of this system within West Asia.
Without this determination, it is not possible to establish a correct strategic orientation.
The task of anti imperialist forces is therefore not neutrality between competing powers, but clear opposition to the principal source of imperialist aggression.

Comrades,
The situation in West Asia is inseparable from developments in other regions.
In Eastern Europe, the conflict in Ukraine reflects the consequences of NATO expansion and the broader confrontation between imperialist blocs.
In the Sahel and across parts of Africa, there is growing resistance to foreign military presence and to neocolonial structures of dependency.
In East Asia, the strategic encirclement of China expresses the attempt to contain an emerging centre of economic and political power.
These are not independent conflicts.
They are different expressions of a single global system in crisis.
Imperialism operates through multiple fronts, but under a unified logic of domination.

Comrades,
This global contradiction is also expressed in Kenya.
The presence of United States military installations and the integration of the country into external strategic frameworks reflects its position within the imperialist system.

At the same time, Kenya is not only a site of domination. It is also a site in which class contradictions are developing and where resistance is emerging.
The task before us is therefore to develop political clarity and organisational capacity.
To reject fragmentation.
To identify the principal contradiction.
To unite all anti imperialist forces on a clear political basis.
The struggle against imperialism is not a matter of sentiment. It is a matter of organisation.
History does not advance spontaneously. It advances through conscious and organised action.

Long live the unity of the anti imperialist struggle.
Long live the organisation of the working masses.
Forward to liberation.

Leninist revolutionary defeatism isn't a magical spell or universal constant but a tool to be wielded in the correct historical conditions that correspond to these three questions:
>Is the current war reactionary?
Yes from the american side but not from the iranian side, Iran is resisting being converted into a full-fledged colony
>is revolution possible in the current conflict?
it is not possible no matter how many graffitis of "arak soviet" you post, there is no proletarian force organized enough and poised to take power in Iran over shahist liberals
>are there revolutionary forces in every warring state that are able to internationalize the revolutionary defeatism
There are no revolutionary parties anywhere in the west, 95% of western leftists support war against Iran to liberate le wahmen and can't even conceptualize defeatism towards the western system

Ergo, revolutionary defeatism is not applicable and the national bourgeoisie of Iran defeating the imperialist bourgeoisie is the best outcome to be had

I should know because I live in the west. like we mostly know and agree that iran is on the right side in this situation and we still do nothing to stop our governments. We are not brainwashed into "NATO is liberating le muslim women" , that is a 2001 bush era understanding of the western left. outdated. we are perfectly understanding the situation but doing nothing to stop it, instead of being brainwashed. that's even worse.

If Iran was being led by a Nicky, I would certainly hope Iranian communists were in a position to step up.

The United Arab Emirates are alone. Or, at any rate, more alone than they had reckoned.

The Iranian attacks on Monday and Tuesday against Emirati targets, centered on the port of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman, demonstrate the little importance Tehran attaches to the current peculiar ceasefire, as well as its readiness to move preemptively ahead of the next round of hostilities, which it regards as certain or, in any case, does not intend to face once again by surprise.

From exponents of the official Iranian line, we understand that the UAE are being treated as a “second Israel,” destined for discreetly unfavorable treatment regardless of whatever modus vivendi may perhaps be achieved “the day after” with the other Arab monarchies.

It is telling that, by striking Fujairah, Iran seeks to deprive the UAE of the ability to export oil while bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. Yet Saudi Arabia’s corresponding capability, through the East-West pipeline ending at Yanbu, has not been affected. Nor have Iran’s allies, Yemen’s Houthis, opened the Red Sea front. Despite the reduction of total export volume to 70% of the prewar period, the surge in oil prices guarantees fiscal stability for the House of Saud.

Riyadh, moving acrobatically, manages both to prolong calm on its southern border after the failure of its military adventure in Yemen, and to avoid alienating the United States, while also maintaining a tacit understanding with Iran that protects its infrastructure.

By contrast, it has shown that it does not intend to tolerate the ambitions the UAE are unfolding across the region — and, already since the turn of the year, it militarily forced Emirati forces to abandon the ports of southern Yemen where they had established themselves, encouraging the separatist movement against the internationally recognized Yemeni government, which is under Saudi protection.

The UAE are not merely at the forefront of the confrontation with Iran; they have strained relations with several Sunni powers in the region, with which they clash by proxy in arenas such as Sudan and Somaliland. By contrast, the familiar frictions among their rivals — for example Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia — appear to have been overcome.

Abu Dhabi’s initiative to announce its withdrawal from OPEC was certainly not a step toward restoring relations with Riyadh. But this move — to facilitate the United States by creating the prospect of sending greater quantities of oil to the markets beyond OPEC quotas and weakening Saudi hegemony within the cartel — makes little sense if it cannot be supported in the security sphere.

And that support, chiefly American, did not materialize after the Iranian attacks. On the contrary, what occurred was Trump’s backtracking on the American operation to safeguard freedom of navigation in the Gulf, which was announced as suspended only two days after it had been proclaimed, in the name of the imaginary “progress” supposedly being made in “talks” with Iran.

Of course, Saudi Arabia’s strongman, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is “long-suffering.” He hastened to express by phone his support to the president of the UAE, Mohammed bin Zayed, after the Iranian attacks. But this expression of support can be read in two ways: it serves as a reminder that, without the backing of their stronger neighbor and the Gulf Cooperation Council around it, the UAE are vulnerable.

If the future of the region is increasingly tending to be determined by local powers without third parties, the UAE’s exclusive investment in representing extra-regional interests appears out of step.

All the more so when, at the same time, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is visiting, after Moscow and Beijing, getting ahead of the expected Xi-Trump meeting — proof that Tehran is less “alone” than it is portrayed as being.

>>2803690
There's no ceasefire anymore, 2 weeks are long over. USA isn't continuing the attacks, and Iran doesn't retaliate, thus the appearance of ceasefire

Israeli official: We were preparing for escalation with Iran, didn’t know Trump was close to deal

Israel was unaware that US President Donald Trump was close to reaching an agreement with Iran to end the fighting and open the Strait of Hormuz, an Israeli official tells Army Radio.

“We were preparing for an escalation,” says the official.

That was true in the past. But one aspect of the declining relative power of the US is that this kind of imperial balance of power is no longer accepted by the vassals. Saudi and UAE were 100% serious when they publicly demanded the US to deal with Iran once and for all.

Iran has hit far more U.S. military assets than reported, satellite images show

Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at U.S. military sites across the Middle East since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Washington Post analysis of satellite imagery. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.

For this examination — one of the first comprehensive public accounts of the damage to U.S. facilities in the region — The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of the those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet where available. The Post excluded 19 Iranian images from the damage analysis because comparisons with the Copernicus imagery were inconclusive. No Iranian imagery was found to have been manipulated.

Their failure in Iran may actually make them more dangerous, since they'll need a whipping boy to remind the world that they are still dangerous.

Hopefully they've at least been taking notes and have some Shaheeds they can fire at Florida if the burgers do try something.

New banger dropped

its looking like trump is going to make a deal with iran in which iran promises not to develop a nuclear weapon in order to end the war. iran doesn't view conceding this as a problem because that was their stance before the war. but I, a nobody on the internet, think they should not do that. they should, in light of the behavior of the USA-Israel, refuse to be pressured any longer into making that their official stance.

>>2804157

I really hope Iran makes the US suffer and the rest of the world for playing along all this time. I want to see the Greatest Depression in my lifetime.

I can support Communists against the Iranian theocracy while also supporting the Iranian theocracy against Israel and all its puppets(US, UK, EU, etc). We can in fact walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. If the Israeli world order wins there will be no Communist revolution in Iran, just the mass privatization and export of all Iran's resources and the enslavement of its people to Zionism.

>I can support Communists against the Iranian theocracy while also supporting the Iranian theocracy against Israel and all its puppets
If you said as a westerner you're against the west instead of having a schizo episode then you'd have essentially the communist ("leftcom") position.

It's literally the opposite

We need to let Israel and the United States finish conquering the world for global international Capital so we can take capitalism to its logical end point so that it can finally end and humanity can pick up the pieces from what's left

Our position has never been anti-war pacifism, it always has been turning the imperialist war into a civil war. Both sides aren't "bad" (moralism (mental illness)) workers are most effective at crippling their own bourgeoisie and so they must oppose their own imperialist and facilitate its defeat.


That's what Iranian workers are doing and that's what western workers must do.

You know things are bad for communists in Iran, if the West can just send in skinwalkers to pretend to be them.

THIS IS HASBARA!

It used to be that Israel had a strong enough stranglehold that you could just openly and proudly support and defend Israel. THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE! ISRAEL IS NOW EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR! ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE! Thus ISRAEL'S STRATEGY HAS CHANGED! Instead of outright defending Israel, now the strategy is to attack Israel's enemies and critics and muddy the waters to the point that the status quo (ZIONIST DOMINATION) persists.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT! ZIONISM MUST FALL!

No information on source of explosions in Iran’s Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island

>By Almigdad Alruhaid

>Reporting from Tehran
>I received information about a new explosion in Bandar Abbas and also Qeshm Island and I’m citing Tasnim news agency.

>There is no information on the origin of this. Some sources are saying that some of these sounds are related to the operation of the IRGC Navy to warn some ships about unauthorised passage through the Strait of Hormuz.


>We know that Bandar Abbas is near the Strait of Hormuz, one of the main battlegrounds right now between the US navy and the IRGC navy, and we do know that in the past few days, there has been a back-and-forth escalation in this area.


>After that, the IRGC navy spoke clearly that they will not allow anyone to pass through the strategic waterway, unless you coordinate with it.

>10. Against Indifferentism

>In the event that the party is not situated historically to overthrow the system by revolution (proletariat absent or defeated) but with the praxis of defeatism and the "internal enemy" still applying, it will establish which of the various possibilities would be lesser evil, i.e. alliance of two imperialist groups in war, victory of one, or victory of the other. As regards the second word war, we reckon that the lesser evil would have been the ruin of the capitalistically stronger and tougher monster of Washington. The general condition of inter-capitalist power relations are not much changed today and, as the condition deriving from the defeat of the more ordered and powerful countries is more favourable to the revolution, in the case of a third war, the defeat of America would remain the lesser evil.

It's not so much a free will convo as it is "if you consider sex workers to be slaves for being coerced by material conditions then literally everyone under capitalism is also a slave except the bourgeois"
and like, yeah, this is a marxist website so we will all agree with that position, but it doesn't really say much about the state of dubai's sex workers.

dubai has ACTUAL slaves, both sex workers and laborers, and they don't get nearly as much attention as the instagram thots getting paid $500,000 to get pooped on by an oil prince.
