IMPERIALISM BENEFITS
In 1980, then US President Carter
said that an attempt by any outside
force to gain control of the Gulf would
be regarded as an assault on the vital
interests of the West. Since then, the US
has established an option for military
intervention in the region (the Rapid
Deployment Force, now the Central
Command).
On January 29th of this year, the US
ordered two aircraft carriers to remain
on station in the eastern Mediterra-
nean, and moved its warships in the
Gulf further north in an apparent
«gesture of support to Arab countries
alarmed by Iranian success in the Gulf
war» (Financial Times, January 30th).
The escalation of the political and
military situation in the Gulf, along
with the intimidating US warships’
movements, constitute a source of
grave concern for the progressive and
nationalist forces in the region. Ever
since the Iraqi regime’s unjustified ig-
nition of this war, and Iran’s continued
unreasonable demands and rejection of
peace efforts, the progressive and na-
tionalist forces have called for an im-
mediate halt to this destructive war.
The Iraq-Iran war, entering its
seventh year, constitutes a destructive
and tragic direction, conducive to a
Camp David type of settlement in the
eastern region. It is a qualitative devia-
tion from the main battle, for it
replaces the fight against Zionism and
imperialism with a secondary battle.
Both Iraq’s and Iran’s capabilities are
directed in a wrong and unjustified
direction. The continuation of this
bloody war would ultimately lead to US
hegemony in the whole region.
Unfortunately, calls to end the war
have not yet materialized. Thousands
of innocent Iraqi and Iranian people
are being butchered in this human in-
ferno, with no hope of ending the
suffering in sight. - هو جزء من
