The Iranian new wave of ballistic missile attacks on Israel, hitting Tel Aviv and Haifa, killed at least eight people. So far, "Israel has killed at least 406 people in Iran and wounded another 654, according to a human rights group that has long tracked the country, Washington-based Human Rights Activists. Iran’s government has not offered overall casualty figures." [i]

Iran's health minister said on Sunday that the majority of the people killed and wounded in Israeli strikes are civilians, mainly women and children, according to the official news agency IRNA: "Israel claims that 14 people have been killed in the country since Friday and 390 wounded. Iran has fired over 270 missiles, 22 of which got through the country’s sophisticated multi-tiered air defenses, according to Israeli figures. Israel’s main international airport and airspace remained closed for a third day. Meanwhile, the three Israelis who were missing in Haifa have been found dead.” [ii]

 

According to a report by the security correspondent of the Tasnim news agency, Iran's air defense system managed to shoot down two fighter jets of the Zionist regime. According to the report, one of the pilots of one of the planes, who is a woman, was captured.

 

The Iranian army announced the downing of a second Israeli F-35 fighter jet, with the pilot escaping safely. An Israeli military spokesman denied reports in the Iranian media that Israeli fighter jets were shot down. Should we believe Iran or Israel, which is known to be a liar? To find out about this, I turned to the website of military experts who wrote: 

“Although the F-35 retains advanced stealth capabilities, and Iranian air defenses have shown signs of considerable limitations in the past, the sheer scale of Iran’s arsenal of air defense assets, the sophisticated capabilities of many of its systems, and the size of its fighter fleet, make it highly possible that F-35s were shot down.“ [iii]

 

When Israel began the war, the Israelis felt very powerful, and celebrated the death of Iranians, and all the Zionist parties supported the war. However, today Israelis feel fear as they can see that the war against Iran is not a game in a playground.

 

A report by Ravit Hecht on Sunday, June 15, 2025, in the daily Haaretz says: "Even the almost complete consensus in Israel regarding Benjamin Netanyahu's initiative does not change the facts: without American Involvement in the strikes, the Iranian nuclear project will not be stopped.

 

It is challenging to guess Trump's will or intention (on this issue and in general), but according to the signs and assessments, he is leaning, at least at this stage, precisely towards the separatist side of his party that would not like to see the US enter other people's wars; He is quite happy to watch Netanyahu apply pressure on the Iranians as a valid proxy, certainly while the Israeli home front and not American taxpayers pay the price, but he is careful to keep his distance and distance himself from the attacks. It is hard to believe that the Iranians would do such a stupid thing as attacking American bases, which could drag Trump in by force. It is also not sure that they will act in a way that would cause terrible inflation and provoke the US and the Western world to act against them. If this is the case, then Netanyahu has taken an excessive risk here on a promiscuous border, while gambling on the Israeli home front without adequate political and military cover, effectively turning it into a tool or means in negotiations between the US president and Iran. And this is without saying a word about the abandonment of the hostages." [iv]

 

Meanwhile, the government extended the special situation in the home front until June 30. What does such a step mean? Control over a frightened, neutralized, defensive society, preoccupied with short-term survival. No one moves, no one protests; it is hard to find anyone who visits. Everyone is hiding in their homes and is afraid of being hit by huge missiles.

 

Yossi Melman, another Israeli journalist, writes: "The Israeli public is exhausted, but Iran will decide how long the conflict will last." [v]

 

Today, another Israeli Journalist, Yoana Gonen, writes: "Congratulations: This time you are not among the 800 to 4,000 Israelis that the government has approved to sacrifice wartime news broadcasts inject power intoxication, nationalism and stupidity straight into the vein, with zero hard questions for a government that gambles on our lives. If you're reading this column, you've woken up after another night of sleep deprivation and deep anxiety. Congratulations: This time you were not among the 800 to 4,000 Israelis whose lives the government approved to sacrifice, according to the "reference scenario", of course – a complicated mathematical model whose purpose is to provide a statistical answer to the question of how much the government has put a streak on your life. If you opened Haaretz with your coffee, you are probably not one of the members of that government, who, unlike you, slept comfortably with their families in well-equipped bunkers, after voting with a clear conscience for your imminent death." [vi]

 

We learned from the war of the Zionist monster on Gaza that half a million Israelis left Israel. Today, those who would like to escape cannot, as the airport in Tel Aviv is closed.

 

Defend Iran without giving any political support to the regime.

 

Revolutionary defeat for Israel!

Statement by Y Red, 16 June 2025

 

While Trump celebrated the Army’s parade, showing his power to the American people and China, in a thinly veiled threat, many people took to the streets in hundreds of protests to show their opposition to the Bonapartist regime. 

 

According to the New York Times:

"The parade, according to the white house, celebrated the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army with a procession of troops, weaponry, and military vehicles as protesters marched across all 50 states President Trump presided over a show of American military might in the nation’s capital on Saturday evening, in what became a test of wills and competing imagery, with demonstrators around the country decrying his expansion of executive power.

 

He stood on Constitution Avenue as armored vehicles dating from two World Wars and overflights of 80-year-old bombers and modern helicopters shook downtown Washington. The city was locked down, divided by a wall of tall, black crowd-control fences designed to assure that the parade, the first of its kind since American troops returned from the Gulf War in 1991.

 

When Mr. Trump left his seat between his wife, Melania Trump, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, it was to swear in new soldiers — “Have a great life,” he told them after the brief ceremony — and then, at sundown, to recall the Army’s greatest moments.

 

He invoked George Washington and recalled Gettysburg. Yet he spoke more to the Army’s power than to its purpose. “Time and again, America’s enemies have learned that you threaten the American people, soldiers are coming for you. Your defeat will be certain, your demise will be final, and your downfall will be total and complete.”

 

Hours before he left the White House, the day had already encapsulated the sharpness of America’s divide over immigration, free speech and Mr. Trump’s determination to reshape the government, universities and cultural institutions to adopt his worldview.

 

By design, military parades are part national celebration and part international intimidation, and Mr. Trump has wanted one in Washington since he attended a Bastille Day parade in Paris in 2017. Formally, the parade celebrates the decision by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, to raise a unified, lightly armed force of colonialists after the shock of the battles with British forces at Lexington and Concord. That army, which George Washington took command of a month later, ultimately expelled the far larger, better armed colonial force.

 

But no celebration of history takes place in a political vacuum. And protesters in large cities and small towns from Seattle to Key West showed up in overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations against how Mr. Trump was making use of the modern force. His decisions over the past week to federalize the National Guard and call the Marines into the streets of Los Angeles, in support of his immigration roundups, has supercharged a debate about whether he is abusing the powers of the commander in chief" [i]

 

Mr. Trump must go but so is bloody American imperialism, ruled by the capitalist class.

 

The Democratic Party is not better as Biden has shown. It is the other head of the bloody imperialist ruling class.

 

This is the time to form a workers' party loyal to the interests of the international working class!
