Happy New Year to Everyone All Over the World!
We enter the New Year in a world still scarred by war, inequality, environmental destruction, and authoritarianism, yet also marked by growing resistance and hope. Militarism, unilateralism, and coercive policies driven by the extreme right and unrestrained capitalism have brought immense suffering, from the relentless killing in Gaza to the devastating war in Ukraine and the widespread violation of international law through blockades and sanctions that primarily harm ordinary people. At the same time, global solidarity, social movements, labour struggles, and progressive activism are expanding, showing that the demand for justice, peace, democracy, and human dignity is alive and gaining strength across societies.
In Iran, accumulated crises have deepened insecurity and hardship, as war tensions, repression, inflation, and collapsing living standards place unbearable pressure on workers, women, youth, and other marginalized groups. Instead of addressing social demands, the authoritarian regime has intensified repression, executions, and securitization, revealing not strength but fear of collapse. Despite this, resistance has grown through strikes, protests, and struggles inside and outside prisons, demonstrating that fear is losing its effectiveness and the desire for freedom and social justice has become an unstoppable force.
