Comrade Ali speaks at an anti-war rally in Bath on the struggles in the middle east and what British workers can do to oppose the British war machine and exercise their own power.

A group of Pahlavists (Iranian expat monarchists) showed up to disrupt the speakers – while advocating for "free speech", naturally!

These imperialist agents tailed the demonstration in order to intimidate participants, proudly raising Israeli, American, and monarchist Iranian flags. They were even chanting: "Thank you Israel and thank you America" – making very clear where their real allegiance lies.

They are bitterly opposed to any solidarity with the anti-imperialist struggles in the region – including that of Palestine – knowing well how unpopular the Pahlavi cause is.

Amongst the marchers, there was a noticeable hesitation to simply state: "I don't support the bombing of Iran, and I stand with the Iranian people and their government."

But if we really want to call ourselves anti-imperialists; if we really want to stop the aggressive war machine; it is clearly not the time to prevaricate over giving full support to a country that is on the front line, defending itself from a vicious and unprovoked imperialist aggression

What purpose can be served by insisting on referring to the popular government in Tehran as a "regime" and declaring that we could not possibly support it? That is not solidarity, it is accepting and promoting imperialist propaganda lies.

Down with imperialism! Zendeh Bād Iran!

Victory to the resistance!
