Israel continues to provoke regional war despite Iran’s and Hezbollah’s long-awaited retaliation to the assassination of top regional resistance leaders Haniyeh and Shukr.
Israeli media sources published unconfirmed reports on Thursday, September 12 that Israeli special forces carried out a raid on a weapons facility run by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the Masyaf area, in the Syrian central governorate of Hama earlier this week
Refuting Israeli media reports about the attack, Iran’s state-run Tasnim News Agency quoted a source on Wednesday, September 12, saying, “Basically, no Iranian force has been present in Syria in that claimed location [Masyaf], while that region was the location of presence of the Syrian Army. Therefore, the subsequent claim, namely harm to Iranian forces or them being captured, is a complete lie.”

#PeoplesHistory | Today, on his death anniversary, we remember Tupac Shakur. The rapper and son of a Black Panther understood perfectly how war is an inherent part of the capitalist system.
As said by Vladimir Lenin: “Imperialist wars are absolutely inevitable under such an economic system, as long as private property in the means of production exists.”

The dictator’s legacy is celebrated by some and condemned by others. What is certain is that Fujimorism will continue to be a relevant actor in Peruvian politics for years to come.
His legacy is harshly criticized by political actors on the right, center, and left, as well as by many human rights organizations that see in his government a model of political management based on authoritarianism, repression, and the radicalization of a neoliberal economic model that still maintains Peru as one of the most unequal countries in the world.

Thousands of workers took to the streets of Brussels to protest the planned closure of an Audi production site, highlighting broader concerns over the EU’s failed industrial strategy.
Volkswagen, Audi’s parent company, recently announced plans to scale down operations in Europe. This includes backing out of existing social contracts, which undermines job security across the automotive sector. Despite the intention to reduce the number of jobs and employment security, Volkswagen paid out record dividends in 2023—totaling 12 billion euros—according to a statement by the Workers Party of Belgium (PTB-PVDA).

#PeoplesHistory | 🇨🇱🎼Today, we remember Victor Jara, a musician, artist, and an active member of the Communist Party of Chile. He was a pioneer in the Latin American cultural movement "New Song" and put into practice the idea that art and progressive politics should converge to strengthen people's resistance.
Immediately after the coup d'etat against socialist president Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973, military forces captured, tortured, and killed Jara. Many survivors of the military dictatorship who were captured alongside him have stated that Jara sang to keep up the spirits of his comrades during detention. According to reports, military officers broke his hands, tortured him, and then incited him to keep singing. This was right before he was summarily executed on September 16, 1973.
To this day, Jara's resistance remains an inspiration for people's movements across the world.
