In the wake of the US-Israeli war on Iran, Stephanie Weatherbee Brito of the International Peoples’ Assembly emphasizes the need for popular forces to take to the streets and oppose imperialist aggression in the West Asia region.

She writes: “If there is to be a defeat of US imperialism, it will come from the mobilization of people – from workers, students, peasants, and revolutionaries around the world. Anti-imperialist states may be allies, but they will not be enough to undo the unipolar order. The agency, the initiative, and the responsibility to resist lies with us. Relying on others to fight our battles is folly. Let’s organize. Let’s mobilize. The struggle is ours.”
