As of the morning of February 28, 2026, Donald Trump, the ringleader of American imperialism, has announced that the U.S. military has once again engaged in to complete the unfinished destruction work of Iran from the "12-Day War" of June 2025. As Israel's complicity and military capacity in the region fell short of breaking the will of the Iranian people, the war lobby in Washington once again launched B-2 heavy bombers over Tehran, Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan in pursuit of its sinister ambitions.
We condemn in the strongest terms this second-phase savage attack by American imperialism. We extend our most heartfelt solidarity to the friendly Iranian nation, whose sovereignty rights and peaceful nuclear activities are being forcibly suppressed. The imperialists have failed to break by even a single step in the eight months since the ill-fated operation launched on June 22, 2025 against Iran which stands firm today with the same determination.
Donald Trump, who came to power promising the American people he would "end the wars," has from the very first moment become the lead actor of the Zionist war machine, proving once again that within the monopolist capitalist structure of imperialism and its "deep state" mechanism, changing individuals does not change the barbaric character of the system. It has been confirmed that Trump is an aggressor wearing a peace mask — most plainly through the bombs raining down on Tehran. This charlatan, who deceived his own supporters in the USA with the lie of being "anti-war," will through this adventure both accelerate his own downfall and dig the grave of American hegemony. Imperialist arrogance — unwilling to accept the realities of a multipolar world — will face the wall of resistance of the Iranian people and all resisting nations.
The peoples of Turkey, the region, and the world will never accept this imperialist fait accompli! Those who dream of achieving victory by forcing independent/sovereign states into total surrender will once again be proven wrong in history. The imperialist war bloc is doomed to collapse; because this attack is directed not only at Iran, but at the full independence and future of all regional countries, including Turkey.
Those in our country and around the world who have had good expectations and hopes from Trump are those who have forgotten the very nature of imperialism and placed their trust in false springs. They must now wake from their slumber of ignorance with this morning's explosions in Iran. Iran's struggle to defend its legitimate rights and territory is Turkey's struggle as well.
There is no need to beat around the bush. Anyone and any group today attempting — for whatever interest — to justify this imperialist aggression or make excuses for bombs falling down on the heads of the poor Iranian people, is working for the destruction of both Iran and, plainly speaking, Turkey. Turkey must never play a role for aggression against its neighbor. Turkey cannot be a country that run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. Turkey must shut down the NATO bases and prevent U.S./Israeli reconnaissance aircraft from operating our skies.
It is right to fight against imperialism!
Down with American Imperialism!
Down with Zionist Aggression!
Long live a Fully Independent Turkey!
