LAST CHANCE for matching donations—Give now to build the socialist movement and stop the war on Iran!

Today, the Trump administration has launched an imperialist attack on Iran, a massive political crime.

Hello, This is our final appeal for our 2026 New Year Fund, and the deadline to have your donation matched and double its impact is in just a few hours, at midnight US Eastern Time tonight.  Donate today Today, the Trump administration has launched an imperialist attack on Iran—a massive political crime, illegal under international law and in direct violation of the US Constitution. It was carried out without even the pretense of congressional authorization, in collaboration with the genocidal Israeli regime, against a country that has not attacked the United States and poses no threat to it.  Within the first hours, reports indicate that at least 24 students were killed in an air strike on a girls' school in Minab. How many more thousands will die in the days ahead? Only four days ago, Trump stood before Congress to deliver his State of the Union address. Having already decided on war, he concealed it from the population—then announced the attack in the dead of night, while millions slept.  The same administration that is escalating ICE terror and trampling the Bill of Rights is now setting the United States and the world on a disastrous course that threatens to engulf the entire planet. The World Socialist Web Site, International Committee of the Fourth International and the Socialist Equality Party demand that this assault be stopped immediately. We urge workers, youth, and all progressive people to oppose the war and to organize meetings in workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods to demand its immediate end. The world must know: the American people want no part of this criminal attack, launched in the interests of the financial-corporate oligarchy. In these conditions, the work of the WSWS is absolutely essential. Every day, we are working relentlessly to mobilize opposition to imperialist war, exposing the class forces driving the attack, and fighting to unite workers internationally on a socialist program against capitalism—the source of war and dictatorship. If you value this work, strengthen it now. Make your donation before the midnight deadline so it will be doubled through matching funds. Give as generously as you can and help us build a powerful socialist movement against fascism, war and dictatorship in 2026.   Donate $5 Donate $25 Donate $100 Donate $500 Joseph Kishore National Secretary Socialist Equality Party (US) World Socialist Web Site We're powered by the support of our readers and workers.

Oppose the US imperialist war on Iran!

The attack on Iran ordered by Donald Trump and his war-crazed cabal is a massive political crime

Dear readers, The attack on Iran ordered by Donald Trump and his war-crazed cabal is a massive political crime, illegal under international law and in direct violation of the US Constitution. It has been launched, in collaboration with the genocidal Israeli regime, without even the figment of authorization from Congress, against a country which has not attacked the United States and poses no threat to it. Read the statement Within the first hours of this criminal attack, at least 24 students were killed in an air strike on a girls' school in Minab in southern Iran. How many thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands will be killed in the days ahead? Only four days ago, Trump appeared before Congress and the American people to deliver his State of the Union address. Even though he had obviously decided to launch the war, he concealed his decision and barely mentioned Iran in the course of his two-hour rant. Now, Trump, baseball cap on his head, announced his decision in the dead of night, while most Americans were sleeping. He has set the United States and the entire world on a disastrous course. This war will not solve the internal social crisis of American society, nor will it reverse the protracted deterioration in the global position of US capitalism. All these contradictions, domestic and international, will be intensified. The war itself will inevitably escalate and engulf the entire planet. No amount of media propaganda can disguise the fact that the attack on Iran is precisely what was described at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders back in 1945-46 as a "crime against peace." In the future, historians will compare Trump's  February 28, 2026 attack on Iran to Hitler's September 1, 1939 invasion of Poland. They are crimes of equal magnitude. The Socialist Equality Party demands that the bloody assault on Iran be stopped immediately. The working class and youth and all progressive and decent people must oppose this war, which has been launched in the interests of the financial-corporate oligarchy. The same administration that has deployed ICE agents to terrorize American cities and neighborhoods, that is violating the Bill of Rights, is the same government that has launched this criminal war. Call meetings in your factories, workplaces, schools and neighborhoods demanding the immediate end of this war. The world must know that the American people oppose this war and want no part of it. Share this statement widely on social media and elsewhere. Take a stand. Make your voices heard.

Final day of the WSWS New Year Fund: All donations doubled through midnight tonight

Our appeal comes amid a rapid escalation of dictatorship and war.

Hello, There are just hours left in the WSWS New Year Fund—and every donation made today (February 28) will be matched dollar for dollar, through midnight US Eastern Time tonight. Donate today Our appeal comes amid a rapid escalation of dictatorship and war. Trump's State of the Union was a declaration of the intentions of the ruling class: repression at home, imperialist violence abroad, and sweeping attacks on living standards—backed by the Democratic Party, a compliant "opposition" that defends the same capitalist system. The WSWS exists to provide what the political and media establishment cannot and will not: daily analysis rooted in Marxism and the strategic lessons of the international class struggle, a clear program against fascism and war, and a perspective for the independent political mobilization of workers. In recent weeks, the WSWS has exposed the drive toward dictatorship, defended immigrants against the ICE terror, and insisted that the decisive force against repression is the working class, acting independently of both capitalist parties.  We have continued to expand the political and technological means of education and organization—including Socialism AI—built not for profit or surveillance, but to assist in political clarification based on the lessons of history. The WSWS is free to read. We take no corporate advertising and accept no foundation money. We rely entirely on the support of workers, students, and readers who understand what is at stake. On this final day of our 2026 New Year Fund drive, we ask: please make your donation now. Because of the matching contribution, whatever you give will go twice as far.   Donate $5 Donate $25 Donate $100 Donate $500 Joseph Kishore National Secretary Socialist Equality Party (US) World Socialist Web Site We're powered by the support of our readers and workers.
