#PeoplesHistory | On this day in 1953, the CIA’s first successful coup overthrew Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and his democratically elected government. British intelligence MI6 worked with the US CIA in this illegal act.
Mohammad Mossadegh was a prominent figure in Iran's secular democracy and resistance to colonialism. He nationalized the oil industry and implemented radical measures like land reform, social security and wealth redistribution.
His popular policies directly threatened Western interests, and the response of the US and British intelligence to Mossadegh in "Operation Ajax" is a manual that has been repeated against anti-colonial and anti-imperialist leaders of the Global South many times since.

“The martyrdom operations will return to the forefront as long as the massacres, forced displacements of Palestinian civilians, and targeted assassinations by the occupation continue,” Hamas’s military wing Al-Qassam brigades said in a statement.
While the United States is attempting to force the Palestinian people to accept a compromising unguaranteed ceasefire and prisoner swap deal, the Palestinian resistance has threatened to re-activate bombing attacks inside Israel as a tactic.
Although the bombing has not left casualties other than the perpetrator, the incident is considered a critical development and a serious escalation with regard to the current multi-front war that may further ignite a regional war.

Palestinian journalist Ali Abunimah points out the irony that the platform begins with a so-called land acknowledgement, meant to acknowledge the Indigenous people of the US, while the Democrats are “arming the genocide of another Indigenous people.”

The diplomatic efforts of the US and Israel stand in sharp contradiction with Israel’s genocidal military operations on the ground, backed by the US.
For many, Secretary of State Blinken’s current tour in the region, his ninth with the stated purpose of ending the Israeli aggression in Gaza, has proved to be propaganda to serve Israel’s strategic goals and interests, and to place the blame on Hamas for obstructing negotiations.

#PeoplesHistory |Revolutionary and leader of the Black Panther Party Huey P. Newton was assassinated on this day in 1989.
Newton’s Black Panther Party rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s for raising the revolutionary consciousness of the oppressed Black communities in the United States. Newton’s writings and leadership have left a permanent mark on the Black liberation movement and the socialist movement broadly.
Newton elevated the Panthers to the role of internationalist revolutionary socialists who sought to fight US imperialism in order to liberate the most oppressed communities within the country.
Newton, like many others in the Black liberation movement, was a target of the FBI’s COINTELPRO, which sought to sow division between revolutionary leaders and organizations.
