The Saudi-US justification for this attack was the claim that PMU had been involved in recent attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure. Independent US senator Bernie Sanders this week posted on X facts that Trump and the American capitalist class don’t want to think about. These stark figures will be vastly exceeded when the true cost of the war on Iran makes itself felt in the very near future. On Tuesday the Daily Telegraph published an analysis of the real cost of the war. Trump, and the capitalist class he speaks for, contemptuously dismiss the American working class as fit only to be exploited and made to bear the brunt of capitalist collapse.
