Anarchists in Iran, Iraq, the Middle East, and the World

Greetings

Unfortunately, there has been no reaction to the American and Israeli attacks on Iran on your websites and channels. It seems that you, your groups, and your unions are absent from this critical moment in history!

Have the principles of anarchism changed and are you no longer against war? Or have you forgotten your principles and now expect bombers to provide “just governance” and save the oppressed?

Don’t you consider war between superpowers against the oppressed to be a war against the oppressed?

Why did you previously stand against the wars in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, and protest loudly in the streets, while now you turn a blind eye and remain silent regarding the recent (American and Israeli) attacks?

Are you waiting for a miracle for the oppressed Iranians to achieve their “freedom” with American missiles?

Why were previous wars so destructive, while this one suddenly seems constructive?

You know that this silence will be recorded against you. History has always proven that war has never been a savior for the oppressed, nor has it ever created in the hearts of class societies the idea of ​​”just government” or a utopia of equality and justice in the struggle for power.

Please look for the answer to this question in the pages of the history of class societies:

Where and at what point in world history did freedom, equality, and anarchism emerge from the heart of war and with the help of bombers?

No to war!
No to your silence, “anarchists”!
No to the state!
No to the Islamic government!
No to the return of the monarchy in Iran!

Yes to social struggle against war, the state, and the class system!

The Anarchist Group in Sudan

We are following with concern the escalating criminal behavior of the international regimes between Israel, the United States, and Iran. In reality, this conflict is deeper than its media presentation; it is an attempt to drag the entire region into a senseless war in which the peoples will become victims of authoritarian regimes and of global imperialism’s attempts to dominate in new ways.

It is the right of peoples to change their political systems themselves, not for another state to do so in order to strengthen its allies. What the United States seeks in this region is a new ally that will facilitate the exploitation of resources, the control of peoples, and the suppression of resistance movements.

Resistance to imperialism under dictatorship is nothing but a new form of dictatorship. While we condemn the fascist Iranian regime and stand in solidarity with the peoples striving for freedom, we affirm that Israeli intervention in the region and its consequences amount to nothing more than replacing Iranian dictatorship with American dictatorship.

From our complex position, at a time when a senseless imperialist war—supported by the same Iranian and American alliances—looms, we in the group firmly reject the control of peoples under the pretext of bringing them freedom. Peoples seize their freedom themselves; no one does it for them.

We call on comrades around the world to unite and stand in solidarity with comrades in Iran and Lebanon. We tell our comrades in Iran and Lebanon that despite our difficult situation, we are following the developments on your side, our hearts are with you, and our homes are open to you if needed. We will do everything we can to cooperate with you.

Long live the struggle of the liberation movement across the world.

No to imperialist war.

The Anarchist Group in Sudan

The Anarchist Group in Sudan strongly condemns all acts of aggression carried out by the conflicting parties against the people. We affirm that such violence is the inevitable outcome of authoritarian systems and the destruction they bring upon societies.

To our anarchist comrades in Iran and Lebanon, we extend our full solidarity and heartfelt support. We hope for your safety and well-being, and we stand with you during these difficult times.

Revolutionary greetings.

The Reproduction of Dictatorship

Following the December 2019 Revolution, Sudan witnessed a significant rise in demands for radical solutions capable of restoring freedoms to a people who had endured nearly fifty consecutive years of military dictatorship and repression. For the first time, a revolution emerged in an organized form, rooted in genuine popular structures represented by neighborhood Resistance Committees and revolutionary youth united around a clear objective: the overthrow of dictatorship.

Yet counterrevolutionary forces consistently worked to dismantle these revolutionary forces. They targeted the Resistance Committees, arrested the youth, and killed hundreds of revolutionaries in an attempt to extinguish the spirit of change. Despite this, the flame of December continues to burn to this day.

However, the current crisis lies in the growing power of counterrevolutionary forces that exploit the war to advance their own agendas — reshaping society along authoritarian ideological lines, normalizing violence, and paving the way for a renewed cycle of despotism — all amid the absence of cohesive and unified revolutionary forces. At the same time, we are witnessing behavioral and political fragmentation within the opposition, with some factions choosing to endorse the war or actively participate in it by supporting one of its parties, thereby deepening the political and moral crisis.

Moreover, many young people — by which we mean the generation that fully grasped the meaning of the revolution and lived through its experience — lack a clear political vision and an organized program capable of translating their emancipatory aspirations into sustained action. Traditional political organizations have largely failed to meet these revolutionary expectations or meaningfully engage this generation.

The continuity and durability of the revolution and emancipatory thought do not depend solely on revolutionary enthusiasm. They require organization and a structured revolutionary program — elements that are currently lacking within Sudan’s youth movement. Amid immense pressures and conditions of siege under which we operate, we strive to create even a small emancipatory space where revolutionary youth can articulate their aspirations free from political repression, systematic domination, and ideological control — practices that are often reproduced even within parts of the opposition itself.

Building such a liberatory space demands substantial organizational effort, a sober and precise reading of the political environment, and a collective will to reestablish revolutionary action on more conscious and resilient foundations.
