The problem with this new campaign in Iran is not merely that it will likely have bad near-term consequences, but that it represents the American government doubling down on the imperial project that is causing our accelerating national crisis.

If the Iranian regime were truly trying to sacrifice their entire country to commit a nation-level nuclear murder-suicide against Israel and the US, they would be acting very differently.

Young Americans and young right-wingers are correct to reject the awful status quo. But to really reject it, you first have to understand it. It would be a major mistake for the Right to delegate their understanding of what’s gone wrong under the current system to their ideological opponents.
