Iran 2026: Black Agenda Report Special Issue

Black Agenda Report special issue on Iran.

On February 28, 2026 the United States and Israel began a long sought after joint military attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran that they hope will result in regime change. This operation continues 47 years of subversion, sabotage, and unilateral economic coercive measures that have caused great harm to that country and to its people. 

In the first hours of the war Israel carried out an assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei and other officials and a strike on a girls’ school which resulted in a death toll of 165 people. Just as in Gaza, attacks on sites such as schools and hospitals are war crimes by definition. These crimes are carried out in order to terrorize the population, destroy the linchpin in the Axis of Resistance, and hasten the replacement of the Islamic Republic of Iran with a client state which will follow U.S. and Israeli dictates. 

Black Agenda Report has a long history of covering the region and gives special attention to this latest act of aggression against Iran in this week’s issue.
