FILIPINAS:The Indian people and their revolutionary movement will emerge victorious against Operation Kagaar

Statement

Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer | Communist Party of the Philippines

March 28, 2026

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), the New People’s Army (NPA), and the entire revolutionary movement in the Philippines express unequivocal solidarity with the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and the People’s Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA). We stand with the people of India and their revolutionary forces as they frustrate “Operation Kagaar” and the Narendra Modi regime’s desperate war to crush the people’s war in India. As its end of March self-imposed deadline approaches, the regime has resorted to more brutal tactics of suppression. We join various international parties and forces in today’s March 28 International Call to Action, initiated by the International Committee to Support the People’s War in India (ICSPWI).

Since January 2024, the Indian state has waged Operation Kagaar (the “Final War”) against its own people. Thousands of military, paramilitary, and mercenary forces have been deployed, primarily in Central India, to crush the people’s resistance. By establishing hundreds of new military camps within forest and mountain communities, the state aimed to suppress the people’s struggle.

Operation Kagaar is a campaign of state terror against the people of India, against Adivasis, and organized forces who dare to oppose oppression. It specifically targets the leadership of the CPI (Maoist) while flagrantly violating international humanitarian law and the rules of war. These operations ignore the special protections guaranteed to vulnerable sectors in areas of armed conflict.

In just over two years, nearly 700 revolutionary leaders and Adivasi people have been killed in a series of massacres and summary executions. Thousands more have fallen victim to illegal arrests on trumped-up charges, abductions, and systemic harassment. The Modi regime has further intensified its coercive “surrender and reintegration” campaign, forcing civilians among the Adivasis to collaborate or face escalating military abuse.

These attacks paved the way for corporate plunder. Since this war intensified, corporations have rushed to seize and destroy thousands of acres of land, rivers, and forests to satisfy an insatiable greed for profit.

The Communist Party of the Philippines and the revolutionary movement in the Philippines trusts that the CPI (Maoist), the PLGA, and the Indian people will overcome the wave of fascist suppression and emerge victorious. So long as exploitation persists, the people will resist.

This campaign of suppression mirrors the US-directed fascist tactics employed against the Filipino people people for decades under various regimes up to the current US-Marcos regime. The Indian and Filipino people both exemplify courage in fighting terrorism and oppression, ready to face all difficulties and make the necessary sacrifices. The valiant resistance of the Indian people and revolutionary forces inspire the Filipino people to wage armed struggle with even greater ardour.

Amid a world being shaken by wars ignited, instigated or supported by imperialists, it is imperative that the Indian people and the Filipino people to unite and advance their struggles for national freedom and democracy. The liberation of our countries from imperialist oppression and domination would serve as an invaluable contribution to the global struggle against imperialism and for freedom and socialism.

As the Filipino people commemorate the 57th anniversary of the NPA this March 29, we stand in revolutionary solidarity with our comrades of the CPI (Maoist) and the PLGA, honoring their unwavering resistance.

Mabuhay kayo, mga kasama!

Llamamiento a una campaña internacional de emergencia contra la Operación Kagaar.

El Comité Internacional de Apoyo a la Guerra Popular en la India (ICSPWI) hace un llamamiento a

todas las fuerzas democráticas, progresistas, antifascistas, antiimperialistas y revolucionarias

del mundo para que se unan a la Campaña Internacional de Emergencia contra la Operación Kagaar.

¿Qué es la Operación Kagaar?

 

Desde enero de 2024, el Estado indio, bajo el régimen fascista hindutva de Narendra Modi,

lleva a cabo la Operación Kagaar, una operación militar cuyo objetivo declarado es la

destrucción total del movimiento revolucionario en la India para marzo de 2026. En

realidad, se trata de una guerra integral contra el pueblo, dirigida principalmente contra la

población adivasi, los campesinos pobres, los activistas revolucionarios, los periodistas, los estudiantes y

los presos políticos. El ejército ocupa regiones enteras, bombardea

e incendia aldeas, utiliza a civiles como escudos humanos y tortura y

ejecuta extrajudicialmente a prisioneros en los llamados "falsos enfrentamientos".

La Operación Kagaar es una continuación y escalada de operaciones militares contrarrevolucionarias anteriores,

como Samadhan-Prahar y la Caza Verde. Con el despliegue

del ejército, las fuerzas paramilitares y la fuerza aérea, el Estado indio intenta destruir al

Partido Comunista de la India (maoísta), al Ejército Guerrillero de Liberación Popular (PLGA) y

la Nueva Revolución Democrática que lideran. Esta ofensiva contrarrevolucionaria

golpeó con especial dureza al movimiento revolucionario en 2025, cuando numerosos

cuadros destacados, entre ellos el secretario general del partido, el camarada Basavaraj (Nambala Keshava

Rao), y otros líderes tribales reconocidos, fueron asesinados. Al mismo tiempo, el

Estado intensifica su guerra psicológica, difundiendo deliberadamente rumores sobre

supuestas rendiciones e intentando desmoralizar a las fuerzas revolucionarias.

Firmeza y continuidad revolucionaria

 

A pesar de estas cuantiosas pérdidas, el movimiento revolucionario en la India se mantiene firme

en su propósito. En diversos documentos públicos, el CPI (Maoísta) ha dejado claro que

no abandonará la lucha armada ni se rendirá ante el Estado. Por el contrario, el

partido analiza abiertamente sus errores, aprende de sus derrotas y se reorganiza

en las nuevas circunstancias. La prolongada guerra popular sigue siendo la única vía para

superar la explotación, la opresión nacional, el sistema de castas, el patriarcado y

la penetración imperialista.

Un elemento central de la represión es el encarcelamiento masivo. Bajo leyes como la

Ley de Prevención de Actividades Ilegales, miles de personas en la India permanecen detenidas durante

años sin juicio. Los periodistas son criminalizados por sus reportajes críticos, los estudiantes son

arrestados por poseer literatura marxista y los activistas son torturados y aislados.

La India se presenta internacionalmente como «la mayor democracia del mundo», pero en realidad

es una prisión para su pueblo, donde los derechos democráticos fundamentales se

suspenden sistemáticamente.

Este hecho no es casual, sino una expresión de la creciente

fascismoización del Estado indio. Bajo el régimen del Hindutva, las minorías religiosas son

perseguidas, la opresión nacional se intensifica y las protestas sociales son reprimidas con

la fuerza militar. Al mismo tiempo, India actúa como pilar estratégico del imperialismo estadounidense en

el sur de Asia y como estrecho aliado de Israel. La opresión interna y un papel externo agresivo

son dos caras de la misma moneda.

Importancia internacional de la lucha en la India

 

Precisamente por eso, la lucha del pueblo indio reviste una importancia internacional.

La Nueva Revolución Democrática en la India representa uno de los frentes más importantes

de la lucha antiimperialista mundial. Su derrota o victoria tendría un impacto directo

en el equilibrio de poder global entre el imperialismo y la

revolución proletaria mundial. Por lo tanto, la solidaridad con la guerra popular en la India significa también solidaridad

con todos los pueblos oprimidos y presos políticos del mundo.

Ante este panorama, el ICSPWI hace un llamamiento a una Campaña Internacional de Emergencia

contra la Operación Kagaar. El objetivo de esta campaña es denunciar internacionalmente los crímenes del

Estado indio, ejercer presión política, exigir la liberación de todos

los presos políticos y brindar apoyo práctico a las fuerzas revolucionarias en la India.

Ya se han llevado a cabo acciones, manifestaciones, eventos y publicaciones en numerosos países de

varios continentes. Esta movilización debe ampliarse, profundizarse y coordinarse.

Convocatoria para la participación

 

Hacemos un llamado a todas las personas y organizaciones solidarias a participar en el mes de

acción contra la Operación Kagaar en marzo de 2026. El 28 de marzo de 2026,

se llevará a cabo una manifestación internacional en Zúrich en solidaridad con el movimiento revolucionario

en la India.

Hoy, más que nunca, es importante tomar una postura firme. La Operación Kagaar debe ser

detenida. Las masacres de la población adivasi deben cesar. Todos

los presos políticos en la India deben ser liberados de inmediato. El apoyo imperialista al

régimen indio debe terminar.

La lucha de los revolucionarios indios es nuestra lucha. Su firmeza es un llamado

a todos para fortalecer la solidaridad internacional y avanzar en la lucha común

contra el imperialismo, el fascismo y la opresión.

¡ALTO A LA OPERACIÓN KAGAAR!

¡LIBERTAD PARA TODOS LOS PRESOS POLÍTICOS!

¡VIVA LA SOLIDARIDAD INTERNACIONAL!

¡SOLIDARIDAD CON LA GUERRA POPULAR EN LA INDIA!

IRLANDA: Hands Off Iran- No to NATO Terror- Public Protest- 6pm, Tuesday March 10- US Imperialist Embassy, Dublin 4.

Join us as we take a stand in support of the Sovereignty and right to self determination of the Iranian People against the NATO/Zionist Imperialist attack on their country.

The imperialist attack on Iran is part of a coordinated strategy to march the world into a new Imperialist World War- a war that must be resisted by All Anti Imperialists and other progressives!

45 years ago, when 10 Republicans Prisoners where on Hungerstrike in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh, fighting British attempts to criminalise our ongoing National Liberation struggle, the Iranian People strongly support the Republican P Prisoners of War, and today a street in Terran is named after IRA Volunteer Bobby Sands.

The Irish People stand shoulder to shoulder with Palestine. All who stand with the Palestinian People, the Palestinian Resistance and their ongoing fight for National Liberation must also stand with Iran, one of Palestine’s greatest allies and supporters. The attack on Iran, like the attacks on Lebanon and the Imperialist destruction of Syria are all part of a strategy to encircle and isolate the Palestine People. If you stand with Palestine- Stand up for Iran now!

For Sovereignty, for Self Determination, for national Liberation and Anti Imperialist Resistance join the protest on Tuesday and demand the NATO and Zionist Imperialists take their Hands Off Iran!

TURQUÍA: TKP/ML CC-PB: RAISE THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE REACTIONARY AND UNJUST AGGRESSION OF U.S. IMPERIALISM AND ZIONISM!

We hereby share a statement issued by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee (CC-PB) of the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist-Leninist (TKP/ML).

---

Our Working People of the Turkish and Kurdish Nations and of Various Nationalities,

U.S. imperialism and Zionist Israel have launched an attack on Iran once again with their full power and resources, following the 12-Day Wars. U.S. imperialism is acting to reorganize the world in a way that serves its own interests without war, or through the option of war. While Trump proclaims himself the “President of Peace,” he renders the old rules and institutions dysfunctional in order to reestablish the balance of power in the world. The system at the head of which U.S. imperialism stands cannot overcome its deep economic crisis. This situation makes it more politically and militarily aggressive. On one hand, it tries to politically design Latin America, which it considers its backyard; on the other hand, it seeks to compress the historical Western alliance while undermining it. At the same time, while pursuing peace over Russia and Ukraine, it takes measures to reduce the influence of Russian imperialism from the Caucasus to the Middle East and Africa. It has focused all of its economic, political, and military concentration on the Pacific‑Asia. The U.S. has clearly identified China as its principal rival and designated it as the region where contradictions are intensifying. The aggression toward Venezuela and Iran, the threats directed at Cuba, Pakistan’s declared war on Afghanistan, the pursuit of peace in the Russia‑Ukraine war, the effort to bury the cause of Palestine, the attempt to hand over the Kurdish nation into the protection of Turkish dominators, and the alliance sought—all of these are not independent from the U.S.’s struggle with rival imperialist powers.

U.S. imperialism seeks to consolidate its hegemony in the Middle East by supporting dominant regimes and nations against the peoples and oppressed nations. In particular, it aims to reshape the entire region economically, militarily, and politically by using its vassals Turkey and Israel as two principal forces. While profound changes are targeted in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Iran, the entire region is being approached in accordance with the new configuration required by these profound transformations. While this transformation focuses on the reorganization of the Middle East, it is based on relying on dominant and loyal powers in accordance with the essence of the imperialist economic‑political system. In this context, it is certain that the anticipated changes will not benefit the oppressed peoples. Expecting anything from imperialism in favor of oppressed nations, and relying on it, will produce no outcome other than the continuation of conditions of slavery or, at most, their “amelioration.”

U.S. imperialism is maintaining preparations for a large‑scale war through tactical approaches involving a negotiation‑threat‑attack equation toward countries with which it faces problems. In the approach he defines as “peace through strength,” Trump determines the level of aggression according to the firmness of the resistance he encounters. So far, the level of aggression has taken the form of bombing military facilities, abducting or killing leaders, or sinking or seizing ships in the Caribbean. This form of aggression is part of the repertoire of U.S. imperialism. For the U.S., the main issue is whether the interventions will evolve into broader, occupation‑involving military actions capable of changing regimes. At this stage, the U.S. is following a limited line that allows for negotiations while simultaneously asserting its power to regroup. All these steps should be seen as part of the intensive preparation for a larger war or as initiatives that mature it.

TAKE UP ANTI‑IMPERIALIST CONSCIOUSNESS AND STRUGGLE AGAINST IMPERIALIST AGGRESSION!

The scope and content of U.S. imperialism’s attack on Iran together with Zionist Israel are greater than those of the 12-Day Wars in June 2025. In the attack, the spiritual and political leader of the Iranian Mullah regime, Ali Khamenei, along with many high-ranking military and political leaders, as well as dozens of military facilities and civilian areas, were bombed; a school was targeted, resulting in the deaths of nearly 150 children. For the U.S. and Zionism, the reactionary nature of the Iranian regime and its hostility toward its own people and oppressed nations are of no importance. The main issue is that the Iranian regime is not under the hegemony of U.S. imperialism. It develops economic and political dependency relations with rivals Russia and China and is incompatible with U.S. interests in the region. U.S. imperialism declared to the world that the assassination of Khamenei would be “justice served by eliminating one of history’s worst individuals and an opportunity for the Iranian people to reclaim their country.” U.S. imperialism presented its blatantly reactionary aggression to the world with familiar arguments. While it proclaimed throughout the region that “working with dictators” would be more effective and legitimized, in Iran the pretext of “hostility toward its own people” must be understood as the most inconsistent and despicable form of familiar deceit.

U.S. imperialism structures its regional plans as the primary supporter of Zionist genocide in Gaza; the planner of jihadist massacres and aggression against Alawites, Kurds, Druze, and Christians in Syria; and the facilitator of the hostility of Turkish ruling classes toward the people and Kurds throughout the region. The “Peace Council” established by Trump to destroy the Palestinian cause will also serve as an instrument facilitating imperialist aggression in the region. What Trump understands by regional peace is the strengthening of the pubbet forces he relies on and the elimination of the bases of rival imperialists China and Russia. On this axis, he provides unconditional support to Zionism against Palestine; to Colani Syria against Kurds and Alawites; to the kingdoms, emirates, and military dictatorships against the Arab peoples; and to fascist TC against the working people of Turkish, Kurdish, and various other nationalities.

Iran has carried out missile strikes in response to imperialist aggression, targeting, above all, Zionist Israel, as well as U.S. military bases in Gulf countries, Jordan, and Iraqi Kurdistan. These strikes were especially directed at financial centers and airports in Doha and Dubai. To assume that the attack on Iran is independent of these countries, which are puppets of the U.S., would be politically naive. By not limiting the scope of its attacks to military bases, Iran has highlighted the regional-war potential of the aggression it experienced. It should also be noted that the aggression has strengthened the grounds for Shia and Sunni polarization and conflict throughout the region. Such a division and alignment clearly serve as a facilitating instrument for the U.S. to manage contradictions and consolidate its hegemony.

U.S. imperialism has adopted a line of aggression that envelops the entire world. The imperialist system is rotten as a whole—its capital, culture, and political line are all decayed. The crises and corruption intensify both inter-imperialist struggles and internal clique conflicts. The destructive nature of this competition translates into heavier burdens for oppressed peoples and nations. Around the world, political regimes have grown increasingly reactionary, defense budgets have reached massive proportions, the race for chauvinism has become the foundation of reactionary shared interests, and peoples are being turned against one another. This situation signifies conditions in which the smell of gunpowder is increasingly felt and the hysteria of imperialist division fuels military concentration.

Under these conditions, the point on which all imperialists and their puppet forces converge is the elimination, subjugation, and prevention of development for so-called “independent” resistance forces. From Latin America to Africa, from India to the Middle East, from the Balkans to Eastern Europe, attacks are carried out along the axis of eradicating progressive, democratic, revolutionary social, and national liberation movements. Imperialists and their puppets leave these forces with the choice of either positioning themselves within the system or being forcibly eliminated. Particularly, national revolutionary and democratic movements engaged in armed struggle, revolutionary forces, and communists face severe annihilatory aggression. This is also part of the preparation that imperialists do not neglect for larger wars.

The full savage nature and lawless actions of imperialist aggression have become a phenomenon that strengthens the class struggle. The unjust character of the economic, political, and military assault is a fact that has reached the awareness of broader masses. Anger and resistance against imperialism and all its reactionary pillars are widespread. However, this anger has not yet acquired an organized and united character. With all our strength and concentration, we must organize this anger and transform it into political power.

The attack on Iran should be read as the signal flare of a large-scale war across the region. At the same time, it should intensify efforts to accelerate the momentum of a broad anti-imperialist struggle. While imperialist powers prepare for war with all their might, they advise oppressed nations and peoples to remain “peaceful.” Under these conditions, revolutionary and communist movements must focus all their concentration on organizing revolutionary armed struggle. The main targets of armed struggle must be the imperialists, their local collaborators, and their puppets. Communists must persevere further along the line of people’s war in semi-colonial, semi-feudal countries against imperialist war preparations. This is the line that will organize the revolution and lead the people to liberation. Our Party will act by donning its confidence in this line. The true national liberation line against imperialist aggression and occupation also lies in organizing people’s war under the leadership of the communists.

• DOWN WITH IMPERIALIST AGGRESSION!
• IMPERIALIST AGGRESSION AND ZIONIST BARBARISM WILL BE DEFEATED, THE RESISTING PEOPLE OF IRAN WILL WIN!
• ZIONISM WILL BE DEFEATED, PALESTINE WILL WIN!
• THE OPPRESSED NATIONS AND PEOPLES OF THE WORLD WILL UNITE AGAINST IMPERIALISM AND WIN!

GRECIA: Out with the murderers from the Middle East and the country! - Let's fight against the new US-Israel military invasion of Iran!

We condemn the murderous military attack by the US and Israel against Iran, which is a continuation of the American attack on that country last June. This attack—with the US having concentrated enormous military forces in the wider region—brutally exposes the real goals of the so-called "Peace Council" formed under Trump's leadership: The imposition of American hegemony in the wider Middle East region, the elimination of the footholds and intervention capabilities of rival imperialists Russia and China, and the support of the murderous state of Israel, which is an irreplaceable instrument of American imperialist interests.

It is a huge challenge and the most absolute distortion of reality that this military invasion is being carried out—according to Trump's announcements—in the name of "the freedom of the Iranian people"! It is a provocation for the Iranian people, who are once again being bombed and massacred by the US and the Zionist murderers, but also a provocation for all the peoples of the region, who are threatened by the spread and escalation of the fire of war lit by the great murderers of the planet. In reality, this new military move by the US is a continuation of the intervention in Venezuela last January, and the blockade that is strangling the Cuban people. It is a continuation of the process of imposing MAGA across the globe, as officially proclaimed in the US National Security Strategy report last November.

The peoples of the Middle East, the peoples of the planet, are in danger! They are threatened by the escalating competition between imperialists, which is paving the way for a generalised war, with the US leading the way.

The New Democracy government and the entire ruling class of the country and its parties are collaborating in American crimes and boasting that they have the murderous Zionist state of Israel as a "strategic ally." They are preparing to contribute even with military forces in Gaza to the ongoing genocide of the heroic Palestinian people, while, once again, the Souda base made an "irreplaceable contribution" to the new military invasion. The policy of subservience to the US-EU and the savage capitalist offensive produces all the crimes against which the people and the youth are fighting. From the crimes in Tempi, Violanta, and Chios, to the even greater ones being prepared by the US-NATO forces, turning the country into a base for their military advance.

We stand with the peoples and their struggle against war and imperialism!

Hands off the people of Iran! Murderers out of the Middle East! Freedom for Palestine!

Bases and NATO out! Out of the EU and its war programs!

Disengagement - no support for the country's military intervention in Iran by the US and the Zionists!

INDIA:STOP WAGING WAR AGAINST ADIVASI RIGHTS ACTIVISTS! info towards 28th march international day of struggle and international european demostration in Zurich

  

STOP WAGING WAR AGAINST ADIVASI RIGHTS ACTIVISTS!

Today marks one year of the wrongful incarceration of Bastar-based Adivasi human rights defender and President of Moolwasi Bacchao Manch, Raghu Midiyami. He was arrested on 27 February 2025 by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) from Dantewada under FIR RC-02/2023/NIA/Raipur while he was recovering from serious injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

Raghu had gone to Dantewada hospital for treatment when NIA officials took him into custody. At the time of his arrest, he was already in a fragile medical condition. Instead of ensuring medical care, the authorities chose to incarcerate him.

Over the past year, the state has not only pursued the NIA case but has also reportedly slapped *six additional cases under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) against him.* The piling up of multiple UAPA cases appears to be a deliberate strategy to prolong his imprisonment and deny him bail. The clear intention is to keep him behind bars to ensure that there is no organized resistance to the corporate loot of natural resources in the Bastar region.

Raghu Midiyami, a 25-year-old popular Adivasi youth leader, has been at the forefront of peaceful, democratic mobilizations in Bastar. As part of Moolwasi Bacchao Manch—an umbrella platform formed by Adivasi peasants—he helped coordinate nearly 30 peaceful sit-in protest sites across the region. These protests raised constitutional demands, including:

• Implementation of PESA and the Fifth Schedule
• Stopping mining and displacement
• Ending fake encounters and mass killings
• Halting militarization in Adivasi areas
• Protecting Jal-Jangal-Jameen and community rights

The allegations that he received funds from Maoist organizations are being used to criminalize democratic dissent. No credible evidence has been presented in the public domain to justify his prolonged incarceration.

Custodial Medical Negligence

We express deep concern over the continued denial of proper medical treatment to Raghu. He suffered a fractured finger in the motorcycle accident prior to his arrest. Despite repeated requests, jail authorities allegedly failed to provide timely and adequate treatment. As a result, his finger has reportedly twisted permanently in the wrong direction due to medical negligence.

Arresting an injured person from a hospital and then denying him treatment for a year amounts to custodial cruelty and a violation of his fundamental rights. This raises serious questions about the accountability of jail authorities.

Criminalizing Peaceful Adivasi Assertion

The ban on Moolwasi Bacchao Manch by the Chhattisgarh government in October 2024 was followed by a wave of arrests and intimidation of its members. The targeting of Raghu Midiyami is part of a broader pattern of repression in central India, where Adivasi assertion for land, forest, and livelihood rights is systematically equated with insurgency.

We also question Senior Maoist Leader those who claim to have surrendered from armed movements and to be working within the constitutional framework remain silent when innocent Adivasi rights activists are jailed. If peaceful democratic organizing is met with bans, UAPA charges, and year-long incarceration, what space remains for constitutional dissent?

Our Demands

1. Immediate release of Raghu Midiyami.
2. Withdrawal of all fabricated cases, including the NIA case and additional UAPA charges.
3. Immediate and comprehensive medical treatment.
4. An end to the criminalization of peaceful Adivasi movements in Bastar.

One year of incarceration without justice is one year too many. The continued imprisonment of Raghu Midiyami reflects the shrinking democratic space and the deepening repression faced by Adivasi communities resisting displacement and exploitation.

We call upon all democratic and progressive forces across the country to unite in demanding justice, accountability, and the immediate release of Raghu Midiyami.

Stand With Iran Against Renewed US-Zionist Aggression! Statement of the ILPS

Stand With Iran Against Renewed US-Zionist Aggression! Statement of the ILPS The International League of Peoples’ Struggle strongly condemns the resumption of US-Zionist bombings against Iran. This is yet another blatant aggression by US imperialism and its Zionist attack dogs against an independent nation in West Asia that has stood against their rule for 47 years. In the morning of February 28, “Israeli” airstrikes hit military targets and civilian areas of Tehran, destroying infrastructure and injuring civilians. This was then followed by more airstrikes in the regions of Qom, Khorammabad, Esfahan, Tabriz, Kermanshah, Ilam, Lorestan, and Karaj. Iranian news agencies also experienced massive cyber attacks. US news reported that dozens of strikes by US aircraft were carried out from bases around West Asia and from an aircraft carrier. Iran launched a counter-attack of missiles against the Zionist entity as well as US bases in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, naming the operation “True Promise 4” after the previous 3 missile operations it launched against the entity since the launching of the Palestinian Al Aqsa Flood operation. Israel Katz of the Zionist Security Ministry announced that this was a joint operation between “Israel” and the US and that the operation was planned for months and the launch date was decided weeks ago. This comes as the US and Iran were engaged in diplomatic talks over Iran’s civilian nuclear program and the lifting of US economic sanctions, showing that the US used the talks as an act of deception and never intended to come to a diplomatic agreement with Iran. Just as in June 2025, the US proved again that it is an untrustworthy actor seeking only to maintain its global hegemony by whatever forms of aggression it deems necessary. The US has also been spreading false information about Iran in the public media, claiming without evidence during the US State of the Union address that Iran possessed missiles capable of hitting the continental United States and repeated many times the lie that Iran seeks to build a nuclear weapon, a fact the Iranian government has denied countless times. The similarities between this attack and the lies leading up to the 2003 US invasion of Iraq are many, with recent US military build-up in West Asia being the largest ever since 2003. This attack comes at a crucial time, as the Zionists continue to carry out their project of genocide and ecocide against the people of Palestine. Their attack on Iran was initially named “Shield of the Judea” as a means to whip up religious hysteria to instigate further hatred and warmongering within their fascist mass base, but was quickly renamed to not anger the people of the Arab monarchies, thus avoiding uprisings in the kingdoms that pledged their loyalties to the Zionist entity, betraying their people for their own slice of regional power. Meanwhile, the US seeks to build its farcical “Board of Peace” on the ruins of Gaza as an alternative to the UN system on the myth of Trump “ending wars” that he himself started, including against Iran. The move also is a response to rival development projects by China and Russia in the region that the US seeks to disrupt. Meanwhile, the forces of the Axis of Resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and throughout the region have been regaining their strength and have vowed to fight back against continued US and Zionist aggression. This joint US-Zionist attack on Iran is a desperate move after months of hybrid warfare against Iran, their number one rival in the region, to attempt to remove one of the largest barriers to full imperialist and Zionist control over West Asia. The ILPS stands with the people of Iran as they resist this blatant imperialist aggression. The League calls on its members to take to the streets in the millions to denounce this US-led war and to express their solidarity with Iran through continued actions, education, propaganda, and other forms of support for the Iranian people’s just fight against imperialist intervention and in defense of their sovereignty. Signed, International League of Peoples’ Struggle

 

INDIA: FACAM Calls for an Anti-Imperialist Week from 23rd to 31st March

 A state of war exists, and the poorest of the poor are killed, maimed, and displaced in lakhs every day under this war. These wars on people are waged in service of big corporates, to feed their greed with the blood of the people. This imperialist looting destroys the land, livelihoods, culture, and the very lives of the most exploited, and oppressed masses.

Commemorating the martyrdom day of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru on 23rd March, and keeping their historic resistance against imperialism in mind, we give this call. We appeal to all democratic, progressive, and justice loving individuals and organisations to observe anti-imperialist week from 23rd March to 31st March, 2026. We also appeal to all progressive, anti-imperialist forces to join the “People’s Convention Against Imperialist Loot” being organised on 31st March 2026.

FILIPINAS : La Nouvelle Armée Populaire revendique l’élimination de 7 soldats et agents

Aux Philippines, la NPA (Nouvelle Armée Populaire, branche armée du Parti Communiste des Philippines) affirme avoir éliminé sept soldats et agents de renseignement en une seule semaine dans la région de Negros Oriental.

Press Statement

Release the Party General Secretary Immediately and Respectfully!

Our Party’s General Secretary, Comrade Dharmendra Bastola “Kanchan,” and Kavre District Secretary Comrade Bishnu Timilsina were arrested today, 17th February 2026 at around 5:40PM from Newroad Kathmandu, while they were engaged in organizational work. At a time when the nationwide Nepal Bandh program was being conducted peacefully and with broad public support, the party strongly condemns this cowardly style of arrest carried out by the present government.

We wish to make it clear that the so-called election announced by the government cannot, under any circumstances, address the people’s aspirations for good governance, stability, and self-reliance. Rather, the very logic of such an election is pushing the nation’s sovereignty toward a serious crisis, which has become a matter of grave concern. Therefore, the arrest of the Party General Secretary in the name of activities opposing the election is, on the one hand, a mockery of the minimum democratic rights related to peaceful programs; and on the other hand, a naked display of intolerance and fascist tendencies that seek to close the doors to dialogue and consensus.

We strongly demand that the government immediately and respectfully release the arrested comrades, including the General Secretary.

We sincerely appeal to all patriotic, progressive, leftist, and human rights–oriented organizations and institutions across the country to take initiatives for their honorable release.

With revolutionary greetings!

February 17, 2026
