    The war has been ongoing for years; sanctions are simply the modern form of siege warfare.

    That’s why I support Iran - not because I like theocracy, but because the only alternative while under attack is surrender. We can either support Iran’s theocracy and all of its many internal contradictions, or we can support Western imperialism. That’s it.

        Except it doesn’t, Trump’s actions are only the latest in a long line of US aggression against Iran. The US has been waging a war on Iran since they nationalized their oil. I’m old enough to remember when Bush called them part of the “Axis of Evil”

        And when Trump is gone I’ll still support Iran against US aggression, because US imperialism is the highest contradiction.
