“There is something more dangerous to Netanyahu and his entire war machine
than all missiles and drones that are now hitting Israel: the political
consciousness of the Iranian people.”

Siyavash Shahabi

Today the US-Israeli war on Iran has focused world attention on that
country. Their war seeks complete military domination not only of Iran but
of the entire region. As the comment of Siyâvash Shahabi noted above
implies, this domination is threatened by the political consciousness of
the Iranian people. That consciousness has been demonstrated time and again
by their inspiring uprisings against the Iranian regime. The US-Israeli war
also seeks to undermine and in fact crush that revolutionary process.
Central to that revolutionary process is the struggle of the Kurdish people
against their historic oppression. This gives added importance to the issue
of the Kurdish people in Iran, and beyond.

The third in my series on Kurdistan. This one focuses on the Kurdish
struggle in Iran. It includes:

*The origins of the main Kurdish parties in Iran and how their strategy was
the "armed struggle", AKA guerrallism ;

* the link between that strategy and the failure to link up the struggle
for Kurdish rights and the working class in general;

*How the failure of that strategy has been exposed during the 1979
revolution and since then;

*the role of the Kurdish parties in the recent revolutionary movement in
Iran.

Since it's impossible to predict where Trump and Netanyahu are headed in
their war against the Iranian people, we cannot really make any prediction
for the future of the Kurdish struggle there. But there are a great many
lessons which must not be forgotten.
