A Declaration of Anti-Imperialist Solidarity and Anti-Zionist Resistance
!History will record this moment as the empire’s greatest miscalculation—the day that changed everything
The Zionist entity, in its desperate death throes, has unleashed an unprecedented act of aggression against Iranian sovereignty. The martyrdom of numerous Iranian military commanders and scientists together with many other civilians in this cowardly assault on civilians and residential areas exposes the indiscriminate and unlawful expansion of war, aimed at extending the ongoing genocide in Palestine and US-Zionist atrocities in the West Asian region.
The timing and scale of this attack only underscores the fact that this was a long-planned orchestrated campaign of military aggression, diplomatic maneuver, intelligence warfare, sabotage, and media manipulation, executed with the full complicity and material support of the United States and its vassals.
This act of agression and terrorist attack constitutes a declaration of war against a sovereign nation, in blatant violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the use of force and the threat to use force against the territorial integrity of any state, and triggers Iran’s inherent right to self defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. The full responsibility for this act of aggression—and all its consequences—lies with the Zionist entity and those Western and Arab reactionary regimes who arm it, shield it diplomatically, and provide it with the intelligence and military assets to commit such atrocities. The US, Britain, France, Germany, and others who enable the Zionist-American atrocities in our region are co-conspirators in this crime. They have chosen war; they shall bear the consequences of their choice.
This unprecedented act of aggression against Iranian sovereignty marks the culmination of the US-led campaign to break the will of the Iranian people, to force us to our knees, to make us capitulate to the dictates of Washington and Tel-Aviv. They seek to impose upon us the illusion that Iran stands weak, divided, and isolated.
The Death of Illusions, The Birth of Unity
All this unfolds during a period when Iran’s new government insisted on pursuing diplomacy and peace, consistently demonstrating good intentions and openness to dialogue. The Western-Zionist response to Iran’s willingness to engage them diplomatically is war. And still, with blood on their hands, US leaders have the shameless audacity to proclaim they “defend Israel” while simultaneously calling for Iran to “return to the negotiating table.”
This naked hypocrisy has shattered all illusions. Not only have Iran’s political forces across the spectrum united in condemnation, but those Iranians who harbored the naive belief that peaceful coexistence with imperialism was possible—even amidst ongoing genocide in Gaza and beyond—have been brutally awakened. Those who thought that demonstrating restraint and being ‘reasonable’ to the empire would yield reciprocal respect now see the truth: the imperialists interpret diplomacy as weakness and respond to extended hands with clenched fists.
This terroristic aggression will unite Iran as nothing else could. It revives our revolutionary spirit more powerfully than any moment in the last four decades. The enemy has given us a gift—absolute clarity about the nature of this struggle.
For decades, we have prepared for the day when the empire would cast aside all pretense and reveal its genocidal intentions toward the Iranian nation. Iran’s response will shake the very foundations of the imperialist order. Our act of self-defense to the unprovoked and unlawful act of war will be swift, precise, and overwhelming; our missiles and drones will rain justice upon the genocidal occupiers. The Zionist entity believed it could cripple our defensive capabilities; instead, it has unleashed the full spectrum of our offensive power.
This act of aggression has shattered any remaining constraints on our nuclear advancement. It has backfired spectacularly—it generates unprecedented popular demand for accelerating our nuclear program. The Iranian people, united in legitimate fury, now demand we exercise our sovereign right to develop every defensive capability. What the enemy sought to prevent through terror, they have instead guaranteed through their aggression. The act of aggression intended to weaken us has instead forged us into an unstoppable force.
Within our borders, this act of aggression achieves the opposite of its intended effect. The act of war unites the Iranian nation as never before. The voices of Westoxified dissent, manipulated by foreign propaganda, will be silenced by the roar of a people united against Zionism and Imperialism. The anti-Zionist and anti-imperialist forces will be strengthened beyond measure. Every Iranian, regardless of political affiliation, now stands as a soldier in our great and long struggle for national liberation.
A Call for International Anti-Imperialist Solidarity
To the oppressed peoples of the world, to all who struggle against imperialism and genocide, we issue this urgent call: The hour has come to stand with Iran! The Islamic Republic of Iran represents the leading force of Resistance against the two symbiotic evils of our time: Zionist colonialism and US-led imperialism.
As the Zionist entity perpetrates genocide in Gaza, as it rains death upon the children of Palestine, as it extends its bloodstained hands toward Lebanon and Syria, Iran stands as the “Strong Fortress of Resistance”, in the words of our late martyred leader, Seyyed Hassan Nasrollah.
We are the inheritors of a revolutionary tradition that stretches from the anti-colonial struggles of Africa and Asia to the liberation movements of Latin America. Like Fidel who defied the empire just at its shores, like Ho Chi Minh who proved that a united people can defeat the mightiest military machine, Iran demonstrates that Resistance is not only possible—it is inevitable and victorious!
This moment marks not an end but a beginning. The Zionist entity, in its arrogance, has hastened its own demise. The entire world watches in horror as this apartheid regime commits genocide in broad daylight, and extends its terrorism to sovereign nations. The US-led imperialist order, already cracking under the weight of its own contradictions, has entered its terminal phase. The unipolar world is dying, and from its ashes rises a new dawn of pluripolarity, sovereignty, and justice.
To the billion souls across the Global South who yearn for liberation, who reject the chains of neo-colonialism, who refuse to bow before imperialist arrogance: Iran resists not only for itself but for all humanity. Our struggle is your struggle. Our victory will be your victory.
A Final Word to the Hesitant
Those who claim to oppose imperialism yet hesitate to stand with the Resistance Front and the Islamic Republic of Iran—the leading force confronting US-led Zionist genocide in our region—have enclosed themselves within imperial narratives of Iran. They remain trapped in colonial mindsets and anti-Muslim racism. History will judge harshly those who, in this decisive hour, allowed their prejudices to override their principles, who let Western propaganda cloud their vision of the central struggle of our time.
Iran emerges from this attack not weakened but transformed. We will protect our revolution. We are all soldiers in the Resistance against Zionist barbarism and imperialist domination. The enemy has chosen the path of escalation—they shall reap the whirlwind.
!Victory to the Resistance
!Death to Imperialism
!Long Live International Solidarity
!Long Live Iranian Revolution
!The Future Belongs to the Oppressed
Issued in the wake of the US-Zionist warmongering
In the spirit of revolutionary anti-imperialist unity
For international solidarity and immediate global distribution.
