Discussion Jan. 29: U.S.-Israel Assault on Iran Escalates: Danger of War Grows
Discussion at Revolution Books

The danger of a U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is escalating rapidly. The U.S. and its allies are ramping up their all-around assault on Iran, including new crippling sanctions, and openly threatening to attack. Ground is being laid daily in the headlines and statements by politicians of every stripe in mainstream U.S. politics calling for aggression against Iran-all justified by unsubstantiated assertions that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.
Whether or not Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons technology (and there is no proof they are), this U.S. imperialist narrative and framework is an outrageous effort to turn reality upside down-the reality of which of the clashing oppressive forces in the region is the dominant threatening oppressor and bully.
This edited version of a talk by Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA is from the fall 2006 and still very pertinent today.
