This morning plumes of thick black smoke covered the sun, creating what has been described as a nuclear winter effect, as oil literally rained from the sky.

Authorities in Tehran warned people against going outside, because not only is acid rain now falling, the air is saturated with toxic gas.

Fuel on fire runs down the streets of Tehran

Nearly 10 million people have effectively been subjected to a poison gas attack by the US and Israel. An attack supported by the majority of EU leaders, as well as the UK, which is providing the US with the use of its bases as a lily pad for refuelling and resupplying the war-planes going to-and-from Iran.

Trump said today that he wants Iran to surrender but doesn’t know “if there will be anyone alive to surrender” by the time the US is finished.

On Fox News, Senator Lindsay Graham, when asked about the attack, said “you just wait and see what comes in the next two weeks. We’re going to blow the hell out of these people.”

The US war secretary Pete Hegseth said that the US is going to unleash “death and destruction from the sky all day long.”

Netanyahu in response to the attack said there will be “many surprises.”

A radical, historical evil is unfolding before our eyes.

The gleefully violent pronouncements coming from the mouths of American politicians are, even for those of us well-versed in the barbarity of imperialism, and well-versed in Israeli sadism, astonishing.

We’ve ended up here because of Gaza.

We’ve ended up here because for two years, the Israelis, with the support of the US and much of Europe, were allowed to cross every line, disregard every rule of war, and demonstrate utter contempt for international law as they slaughtered Palestinians on an industrial scale and turned Gaza to dust.

The barbarity now on show in Iran, is, as many of us warned, the inevitable consequence of the impunity granted to Israel to commit genocide. It is the consequence of an emboldened, violent, settler colony with a nuclear weapon.

The crimes of Gaza were never going to be confined to Gaza. Especially not with Zionists in power across the west. Especially not with the power of the Jewish lobby and their expansionist plans for Greater Israel controlling our political systems.

And the Europeans.

The venal, shameful, Europeans.

Just a few weeks ago, European leaders were denouncing Trump’s threats against Greenland. But as soon as he demanded it, many of them leapt into action to help him commit the crime he’d literally just been threatening against them. I was astonished to see Denmark’s ambassador to the UN, rather than condemn the attack on Iran, condemn Iran for retaliating in self-defence. Denmark, which just a month ago was being goaded by Trump. Do they really think he’s going to leave Greenland alone because they’ve supported his war crimes in Iran?

The stupidity, the idiocy, the immorality is beyond belief.

The lead eurocuck is Keir Starmer, a human rights lawyer who appears addicted to violating human rights. His latest attempt to make a mockery of the profession he’s supposedly trained in is to allow the US to use British airbases to launch attacks on Iran. Attacks which are clearly illegal under the United Nations Charter, especially clause 2 (4) which prohibits the use of initiating force. Attacks which clearly meet the three criteria required to constitute a crime of aggression under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

But Starmer of course has been one of the leaders most enthusiastic about betraying human rights law and ensuring Netanyahu evades the ICC charges. And now he’s neck deep in his own war crimes, with US bases being used to launch these attacks.

And just on the media coverage of these oil refinery attacks, specifically The Guardian.

Three weeks ago The Guardian’s environment editor Damian Carrington wrote an article about Iran’s aging oil tankers and the dangers they posed to sea life. Was the timing a coincidence, less than two weeks before the US-Israeli war began? No chance. I know how these things work. I’ve worked in both journalism and PR. The Zionist lobby were working all the angles to soften people up for an attack by making everything about Iran look like a threat. This was a clever angle that introduced anti-Iran propaganda to a liberal audience under the guise of environmental concern.

But now oil is literally raining from the sky in Iran, has Damian Carrington written an article about the environmental damage of this war? Has he fuck. 24 hours later, and nothing.

He’s happy to warn about the theoretical dangers of Iranian oil tankers but not interested when the streets are actually on fire, when carcinogens are raining down from the sky, when the soil and groundwater is being polluted, probably for years.

The liberal media and political class are monsters. The system is unsalvageable.

But we can salvage our own conscious by opposing this disastrous war.

With all of their language about Iran being decimated, the Americans are pulling a psychological trick to make us believe it will be over so quickly there’s no point in protesting or doing anything to oppose it. We can’t fall for it. As Iran fights back on the ground, we have to build pressure at home.

Wherever you live, but especially if you live in the US, UK or Germany (which has also allowed its bases to be used for attacks), write to your political representatives and oppose this savage, unnecessary war of choice.

Oppose it, because Zionism and imperial barbarity knows no limits, and it could be any of us next.
