This episode of Proletarian Radio, delivered by Joti Brar, delivers a scathing critique of the United States' month-long imperialist assault on Iran, framing it as a desperate, economically driven war of aggression rather than a strategic military campaign. The speaker argues that the U.S. and its allies, particularly under Trump's leadership, launched a brutal 'shock and awe' decapitation strike aimed at collapsing Iran's state structures through targeted assassinations and infrastructure bombing. However, the attack has backfired spectacularly, galvanizing unprecedented national unity among Iranians and exposing the imperialists' lack of a coherent strategy or plan B. The war, driven by the collapsing U.S. economy and the need to divert attention from systemic crises, has already begun to disrupt global supply chains—especially in industries reliant on Hormuz Strait—while simultaneously undermining the very arms industry it was meant to strengthen. The speaker emphasizes that Britain is deeply complicit through military bases, aircraft use, and political cover, and condemns both the ruling class and the anti-war movement for failing to mobilize the working class. The central call to action is clear: support Iran unconditionally and organize mass non-cooperation with the war machine.
The U.S. war on Iran was a desperate, economically motivated act of imperial desperation, not a strategic military operation.
The brutal tactics—like the double-tap attack on a girls' school and the assassination of revolutionary leaders—have united the Iranian people in unprecedented national resistance.
Global supply chains are already being destabilized, with far-reaching consequences beyond oil, including the arms industry.
Britain is fully complicit in the war through military infrastructure and political cover, despite claims of neutrality.
The working class must be mobilized to oppose the war machine, not support it, through non-cooperation and mass resistance.

Introduction: The Imperialist Assault on Iran
“They were entirely wrong in all their assumptions. They didn't have a plan B. They absolutely didn't.”
The Backfired Brutality and Failed Strategy
“The whole function is to terrify the population, to just force them into submission. And again, the total lack of understanding of the people that they're actually fighting.”
Economic Crisis as the True Driver of War
Brar argues that the war is not about Iran but about the U.S. capitalist system's existential economic crisis. The war is a desperate attempt to escape internal collapse by external aggression, which only worsens the crisis.
Global Supply Chain Collapse and the Arms Industry Paradox
“The arms industry is going to be suffering as a result of the war that they have desperately launched...”
Britain’s Complicity and the Failure of the Anti-War Movement
“The only activity in relation to war that our ruling class has recently under, sorry, our trade union movement has recently undertaken was... to demand more money for arms manufacturing.”
“We should be with Iran and we should be against our own imperialist class and that means we should be obstructing the war machine, not facilitating it.”
