 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. United Nations condemns Iran's self-defence strikes amid American imperialism's war of extermination The fact that 140 governments co-sponsored a resolution denouncing the right of a historically oppressed country to resist the most brutal forms of imperialist violence underscores that world capitalism has revived the barbarism previously associated with unrestrained colonial dominance and the two world wars of the 20th century. The US-Israeli war on Iran, now in its thirteenth day, is rapidly spiraling and has triggered a cascading regional crisis centred on the Strait of Hormuz — the waterway through which 20 percent of the world's oil passes.

Any genuine risk of violence is a result of pro-war Iranian monarchists and fascists being emboldened to carry out attacks on protesters by the government's support for the US-Israeli war and regime-change operation against Iran.

"If this war escalates, the danger of a third world war will increase. A major power is waging war against another smaller country. It must be stopped," a University of Jaffna student said.
