Long Live the Axis of Resistance — Tariq el-Tahrir Youth and Student Network

In the face of escalating Zionist terror-its strikes on Iranian soil, its massacres in Gaza, its continued colonial aggression against the occupied Palestinian lands and its desperate clinging to power through indiscriminate violence- we affirm our full and uncompromising solidarity with the forces of resistance. The Islamic Republic of Iran’s response to Zionist aggression is not merely a retaliatory strike; it is a declaration that the era of unilateral violence without consequence is over.

We mourn the martyrs of this struggle-not only those who fell in uniform, but the countless civilians who have paid and continue to pay the price of standing in the path of Empire. Their names and their lives are not statistics-they are our compass whose sacrifices guide our path. They have not been martyred in vain. They are part of a long and ongoing resistance, built by workers, peasants, students, and fedayeen on the road to Al-Quds.

The Axis of Resistance is not a geopolitical alliance-it is the materialization of internationalist decolonial solidarity. From the mountains of brave Yemen to the streets of Baghdad, from the fields of South Lebanon to the battle-hardened defense systems of Iran, the struggle is unified. It is anti-colonial. It is anti- imperialist. It is anti-fascist. It is righteous. Despite the sacrifices, the resistance and its popular cradle, are standing tall and proud in the face of genocide and colonisation.

It is a legitimate right of peoples under colonial and foreign domination to resist through any method at their disposal (even UN Resolution 3070 articulates this). It is a mandate-moral, political, and material. Support for Resistance is not a matter of charity. It is a duty. The hypocritical european imperialist lackeys, preach about “solidarity”, meanwhile they not just not support the legitimate resistance but criminalize it and still holds on to their armamentistic ties with the zionist colonial entity. The missiles of Yemen and Iran are not exceptions to international law; they are its clearest expression in a world where colonial powers violate it with impunity.

The illusion of “Israeli” invincibility has been shattered. The so-called indestructible regime- armed with nuclear warheads and backed by the full weight of U.S. and European imperialism-has been humiliated repeatedly: on the battlefield, in the skies, in the realm of intelligence and cyberwarfare. F-35s felled from the skies. Strategic depth penetrated. Psychological dominance broken. Internal facture of the colonial zionsit society. Terminal economic crisis. What once called itself eternal, now their decisions are subject to the will of the resistance and are inseparable of it. The temporary Zionist entity scrambles to engulf the region in flames to mask its internal contradictions and delay its escalating collapse.

Decolonization, as Dr. Frantz Fanon wrote, is “always a violent phenomenon.” It is not negotiated in backrooms or dictated by neo- colonial NGOs. It is forged through rupture, through the armed and organized force of the colonized. Neutrality in this moment is betrayal. To say “we support the victims, but not their weapons” is to side with the empire that arm’s their executioners. Solidarity cannot be sanitized or conditioned. The missiles, sacrifices and unwavering support of Iran, in the form of martyrs, materials and diplomatic efforts (breaking relationships and isolating), are an integrated and inseparable component of the struggle for the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.

Let us be clear: this struggle is not Iran vs. “Israel.” It is Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine, and every free revolutionary people against the imperialist nations- among them, the United States, whose bases, fleets, and proxies saturate our lands. Washington is not a bystander. It is the command center of global reaction.

We also condemn, without hesitation, the reactionary Arab regimes who collude with Zionism-those who normalize, who betray al-Quds, who silence resistance in the name of a false peace and petro-capitalist stability, these governments -Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority- have betrayed their national responsibilities and positioned themselves as agents of American-Zionist imperialism. The collapse of these regimes is as certain as the destruction of Zionism and global imperialism.

THE RESISTANCE IS RISING. THE MYTH OF ZIONIST PERMANENCE IS CRACKING.
THE COLONIAL PROJECT IS FAILING. AND THE PEOPLE-STEADFAST, DISCIPLINED, ROOTED IN FAITH AND IN FIRE-ARE PREPARING THE FINAL BLOW.

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, AND FROM SANA’A TO TEHRAN:
VICTORY TO THE RESISTANCE
