Campism: "A paradigmatic case relates to the early years of the 1979 Revolution, when two opposed left strategies in Iran confronted the real threat of U.S. imperialism. On one side, the pro-Soviet Tudeh Party called for a “United People’s Front” with “the steadfast fighters on the path of Ayatollah Khomeini,” branding women, leftist, and minority struggles as divisive “imperialist plots” that endangered national unity. On the other, the National Democratic Front (NDF) insisted that only deepening the revolution’s democratic content and defending the fundamental rights of the people could secure its anti-imperialist endurance. When the Islamic Republic, under the banner of anti-imperialism, crushed the NDF and other leftist and minority movements, the Tudeh Party not only remained silent but at times endorsed this repression—until the same machinery eventually turned against its own leadership."

For Lior Sternfeld, a historian of modern Iran, Israel's regime change fantasies ignore realities inside the Islamic Republic and risk repeating historic mistakes. She told:

At the start of the Iran-Iraq War, one of the key factors that helped consolidate the Islamic Republic was that all the opposition organizations essentially dissolved themselves. That’s what allowed the Khomeinist faction to come out on top. But once the war began, the opposition, led by the Tudeh [the Iranian Communist Party], announced they were ceasing operations, because now the homeland had to be defended.

Back then, one of Saddam Hussein’s explicit goals was to overthrow the Iranian regime. He said so openly. And even then, they used the exact same language we’re hearing today from the Israeli leadership: “The Iranian regime is weak, it will collapse in two weeks.”

"The attack on Iran is just the latest crime in the Israeli regime’s path of destruction across the Middle East. Its Western-backed impunity has become a global threat."

Andrew Feinstein: ‘The West has a choice: stop supporting genocide or mutate their own democracies and destroy international law forever. The West has chosen the latter.’

"When the EU pressures other countries, such as South Africa and others in the Global South, to align with its geopolitical priorities (on Ukraine/Russia), while giving itself a pass when convenient (on Israel/Palestine), it grates in other parts of the world and undermines the very case for the “rules-based international order” that the EU purports to defend and exemplify."
