The World Socialist Web Site is hosting an emergency webinar on Sunday, March 8, to confront the US-Israeli war against Iran and discuss what must be done to stop it.
A massive atrocity is underway. Great centers of civilization—Tehran, Isfahan, Qom—are being bombed and destroyed as the Trump administration escalates a war aimed at the obliteration of Iranian society.
After the assault on Venezuela and the attempted strangulation of Cuba, the Trump regime—backed by all the imperialist powers—has expanded its campaign of violence across the Middle East and beyond. Gaza was the dress rehearsal. Now the target is a country of 90 million people, and the danger is not only regional devastation but a wider war threatening the entire world.
While Trump and the Israeli regime are spearheading this war, the Democrats are complicit, the corporate media functions as a propaganda arm of the state, and the European powers are lining up behind Washington.
The purpose of this meeting is to tell the truth about the war, expose its real aims, and advance the program and strategy necessary to organize opposition—above all, the independent mobilization of the international working class against imperialist war and dictatorship.
The discussion will be moderated by David North, chairman of the International Editorial Board of the WSWS.
David North is the national chairman of the Socialist Equality Party and chairman of the World Socialist Web Site International Editorial Board. He has been active in socialist politics for over 50 years.
Will Lehman is a Mack Trucks worker and was a candidate for United Auto Workers president in the union’s 2022 elections. He is a leading member of the International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC).
Tom Mackaman writes for the World Socialist Web Site on US and labor history. Mackaman is co-editor with David North of The New York Times’ 1619 Project and the Racialist Falsification of History.
Tom Carter is a member of the Socialist Equality Party (US) National Committee.
Joseph Kishore has been the national secretary of the SEP since 2008 and has played a central role in the development of its political program and the building of the SEP. He ran as the SEP’s presidential candidate in the 2024 US elections.
Johannes Stern is editor of the German language edition of the WSWS.
