Trump threatens war and punitive tariffs to recapture Iranian resources – just as in 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mossadegh and US corporations immediately seized 40% of the oil, says SEVIM DAGDELEN
MASSIVE popular protests in Iran, which began at the turn of 2017-18, have been the starting point for a struggle across the country’s industry and workforce, and show no sign of abating.
In addition to their pressing demands for unpaid wages and salaries, working people have also targeted the policies of regime.
Protests have continued to target widespread privatisation, corruption and the plunder of national resources.
The Committee for the Defence of Iranian People’s Rights (Codir) welcomes demonstrations across Iran, which have put pressure upon the theocratic dictatorship, but warns against intervention by the United States to force Iran in a particular direction
Payam Solhtalab talks to GAWAIN LITTLE, general secretary of Codir, about the connection between the struggle for peace, against banking and economic sanctions, and the threat of a further military attack by the US/Israel axis on Iran
