IMPERIALISM TELLS IRAN: Either Submit, or Be Divided, or Be Destroyed
The goal: Leaving no centre of resistance in the Middle East
The U.S. Imperialist Program: All forces resisting imperialism will be crushed: Iran, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Yemen, Palestine
Syria resisted for 13 years; U.S. collaborators were brought to power.
The people’s resistance continues.
The U.S. bully says: All resistance forces will be crushed.
Israel and Kurdish Nationalists are serving this U.S. imperialist policy.
Trump’s slogans during and after the elections:
- “Make America Great Again”
- “America First”
- “We’ll define the conditions of loyalty to America.”
- “We’ll reshape the great America.”
THE IRAN STEP OF THE U.S. EMPIRE’S MIDDLE EAST
OCCUPATION AND MASSACRE PROGRAM
Israel attacked Iran with warplanes and missiles, targeted Iran’s Chief of Staff, top commanders, military, economic and nuclear structures.
The U.S. and Israel stated their reasons: “Iran will not have nuclear weapons.”
The real aim is to subjugate Iran. To destroy the centre of resistance. U.S. imperialism is imposing this on the world through massacres, occupations, and bombs raining on the people.
U.S. collaborators called for an uprising by the Iranian people.
Israeli PM Netanyahu called on Iranians: “Rise up to overthrow the regime; we are behind you.”
Reza Pahlavi, son of the ousted Shah, living in the U.S., called for “regime change in Iran. “Democracy for Iran. Our time is now… the only solution is for this regime to go.”
Former head of the self-liqudified PKK Abdullah Öcalan (on Iran): “…Either it will undergo a profound transformation or be fragmented and take its place in history. For this reason, the Middle East of the near future may be shaped through Iran.”
PJAK: (Partiya Jiyana Azad a Kurdistanê, which translates to the Kurdistan Free Life Party): “The democratic struggle of the people and the ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî’ revolution will bring freedom to Iran.” They called for an uprising in the name of “self-governance” and a democratic society.
DEM Party – Tuncer Bakırhan (on Iran): “The current ground actually invites interventions.”
EU imperialism: “Israel has the right to defend itself,” “Iran should not respond.”
Kurdish nationalists, along with Israel and the U.S., launched a mobilization to invade Iran.
Why is Iran the target?
Because it is a centre of resistance against imperialism. It has ties to the resistance in Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Palestine.
Crushing Iran will mean crushing other resistance movements in the region.
This is not about Iran’s nuclear program or oil wealth. The war is not between Israel and Iran. It is about implementing the U.S. occupation and colonization program.
Iran has become a resistance hub in the Middle East against U.S. imperialism:
- In Yemen, the Houthis fought against U.S.- and Saudi-backed forces and took control. Iran was among their supporters.
- In Palestine, suffering decades of Israeli occupation and genocide, Iran is a major supporter of the resistance.
- Hezbollah in Lebanon is also a resistance force supported by Iran.
- In Syria, Iran stood among the forces resisting imperialism.
Iran is linked with Shiite militias in Syria and the Hashd al-Shaabi in Iraq. With a population of 85 million, Iran is a major obstacle to imperialist Middle East policies.
U.S. imperialism wants no resistance. That’s why it wants to crush Iran’s resistance.
For its operation against Iran, the U.S. is using Israel and Kurdish Nationalists. The U.S. has united its collaborators in the region. The goal is for these forces to cooperate in its operations. Israel’s attack on Iran happened within this framework. Israel, the U.S., and Kurdish nationalists are all saying: RISE UP! And they are working for the same goal: Regime change in Iran. And the slogan repeated by the Kurdish nationalists in line with imperialism is: “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî!”
- PJAK: Jin, Jiyan, Azadî
- Netanyahu: Women, Life, Freedom!
- Reza Pahlavi: Women, Life, Freedom!
“The Nation-State is Dead” imperialism says, that is, no independence. What exists now is imperialist occupation and exploitation. Democratic Modernity is mentioned frequently which actually means the acceptance of U.S. hegemony.
Öcalan’s statements, published by ANF on June 14, 2025: In summary, no reaction to imperialist attacks. He says the Iranian regime cannot withstand this system: “You’ll either submit or be fragmented.” He advocates the division of Iran.
Where does Kurdish nationalism stand in this process? By the side of the U.S.
Öcalan builds the theory for this: “The Middle East of the near future may be shaped through Iran.” “Iran is truly the centre of modernity debates.” He even gives advice to imperialism: “Deal with Iran, and the rest of the Middle East will fall into place”. As if imperialism needs his advice. A servant mentality, struggling to be accepted by the master. “We may witness a true war of modernities. The theory of the democratic nation is like daily medicine for Iran.”
What is the democratic nation?
A structure shaped by Israeli and U.S. bombs? A world under imperialist domination?
No independence, no struggle for independence. Just unity under imperialist rule? No, there is nothing democratic about this. National issues were only solved under socialism.
Öcalan says: “Middle Eastern culture cannot be analysed with the positivist ideologies and sciences of European modernity. When attempted, the result is Orientalism…”
What is Orientalism?
It is representing Eastern societies from a Western, prejudiced, and condescending perspective— As Edward Said described, it includes power and domination.
Is Öcalan against this domination? If so, he would oppose the imperialist attack on Iran, oppose the Israeli attack. Instead, he pretends to oppose Orientalism while legitimizing Israel’s assault, imperialist occupation, and collaboration. And blames the people. Says they are backward. Says they submit to the regime. Thus, justifies the imperialist assault.
The people are guilty. The solution? Apparently, Israel’s bombing.
“THE PROBLEMS WITHIN THE PERSIAN AND IRANIAN NATIONAL SOCIETY
If the UN, the union of nation-states, cannot intervene effectively,
If the OIC, the Islamic union of nation-states, is also ineffective,
If constant diplomatic tours achieve nothing…
The cause is again linked to the mindset and structure of the nation-state.”
So, what’s the solution? Let Iran open its doors to the U.S. Forget all national features; become Americanized?
“The very construction of the nation-state has always been through war. There’s no example of one being built without war. Worse still, has there ever been a nation-state without internal and external wars and tensions?”
So, who’s responsible? Not the occupying imperialist powers, right? Not the peoples wanting independence?
If you don’t demand national independence, If you don’t defend self-determination, Then there won’t be wars, Öcalan says.
What a great theory! Exactly what U.S. imperialism and Turkish fascism want.
In Öcalan’s language, there is no imperialism, no fascism, There is modernity. No imperialist occupation and exploitation, just incompatibility with modernity. Look what he says: “… The problems of the Persian or Iranian national society stem from historical civilizations and the last two centuries of capitalist modernity… They subtly implement a religious and racist nationalism. Although they practice capitalist modernity, they resort to anti-modernist propaganda when convenient.
…
Their conflicts with the main actors of capitalist modernity—the U.S. and the EU—are also significant.”
But the issue is not this. Iran is resisting imperialist invasion and colonization.
Imperialism says: Submit, do not resist.
And Öcalan concludes: “Iran will either undergo a radical transformation or… be fragmented.”…“But it cannot continue this existence against capitalist modernity and global capitalism much longer. It will either undergo a deep transformation (which is difficult in terms of power and state; becoming a liberal nation-state means the collapse of the current Islamic state model) or be fragmented and take its place in history.”
So, he supports the fragmentation of Iran. That’s the U.S. “divide and rule” policy.
They divided Syria. They split Yugoslavia into 8 states. That’s how imperialism rules.
IN CONCLUSION:
- Israel’s attack on Iran is an imperialist occupation.
- Netanyahu, Öcalan, PJAK, Reza Pahlavi calling the Iranian people to rise up are collaborators of the U.S. Used as tools for occupation.
- Iran is targeted because imperialism wants to crush and subjugate all resisting forces.
- That’s why we side with resistance against imperialist occupation.
THE U.S. PROGRAM TO OCCUPY THE WORLD CONTINUES THROUGH DOCTRINES.
- Truman (1947): “The U.S. system cannot survive without being a world system.”
- Brzezinski: “American power is largely based on control of global markets via communication. This creates mass culture, which becomes politically effective.”
This is the basis of all U.S. imperialist programs: To dominate the global market.
- Monroe Doctrine (1823): “Any European intervention in the Americas is a threat to U.S. peace and security.”
- Truman Doctrine (1947): The U.S. will provide military and financial aid to states under “communist threat.”
- Marshall Plan (1947): Europe will be indebted under the guise of aid, made dependent on the U.S., and forced to compete with socialism.
- Eisenhower Doctrine (1957): The U.S. will militarily intervene in the Middle East and create debt dependency.
- New World Order (1990): The U.S. declared its global empire.
Two goals: Control countries where socialism collapsed and intervene in regions that were relatively independent of imperialism
- Bush Doctrine (2002): Pre-emptive strike policy: “You are either with us or against us.”
- National Security Doctrine: Justified coups like in Brazil, torture, paramilitaries, and repression outside the law.
- Low-Intensity Conflict Doctrine: Predicts future wars will occur in the Third World, not Europe.
- National Security Strategy for a New Century (1997): Advocates global dominance through economic nationalism backed by force.
- Greater Middle East Project (GMEP): Aims to change regimes in 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa and integrate them into imperialist markets.
All U.S. doctrines and strategies are world domination projects. They are plans for occupying and re-colonizing countries. Their goal: to crush revolutionary, anti-imperialist forces and people’s liberation struggles. Therefore, we are witnessing this illegitimate and unlawful attack on Iran.
And therefore, we are by the side of Iran and Iranian People.
Resistance is the only way to defeat imperialist aggression.
