About this event

Following the unprovoked and illegal attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States, new facts keep emerging, changing assessments of the meaning and effects of these events and leaving many questions in their wake.

Has the US really destroyed Iran’s nuclear energy infrastructure? How did US, Israeli and Iranian weapons perform on the battlefield? Has Israel really demonstrated a superiority that would permit it to be the regional superpower? Was Netanyahu’s threat of regime change in Iran a real possibility? How have the already fractious Israeli regime, and the long term viability of the Zionist project, been impacted? To what degree is imperialism’s aggression against Iran also targeted at China and Russia?

And crucially how does the ‘12 Day War’ affect the Palestinian people and their heroic fight against genocide and for liberation, which remains at the very heart of the anti-imperialist struggle in West Asia and beyond?

The webinar will discuss these and other questions with a view arriving at a sober assessment of the outcome of these dramatic and dangerous events.
