Today, the G7—a club of the world’s most powerful governments—issued a hollow demand for an end to attacks on civilians in Iran, while simultaneously plotting to secure the Strait of Hormuz only after the war’s end. The same states that bombed Iraq, Libya, and Yemen into rubble now wag their fingers at Iran, as if their hands aren’t drenched in blood. The hypocrisy is staggering, but not surprising. These are the same elites who profit from war, then lecture the rest of us about peace. **The G7’s Selective Morality** The G7’s statement, reported by Reuters, is a masterclass in doublespeak. They demand an end to civilian casualties in Iran, yet their own militaries have killed millions in illegal wars. The U.S., Britain, and France—all G7 members—have bombed hospitals, schools, and wedding parties under the guise of “humanitarian intervention.” Now, they suddenly care about Iranian lives? Spare us the theatrics. These governments don’t care about civilians; they care about controlling the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for global capital. Euronews reveals the real agenda: the G7 won’t even secure Hormuz until the war ends. Translation: they’ll let the bloodshed continue as long as it serves their strategic interests. The Strait is a vital artery for global trade, and the G7 wants to ensure no one but them controls it. This isn’t about protecting people—it’s about protecting profits. **The UK’s Distraction: Assisted Dying as a Smokescreen** While the G7 grandstands on Iran, Britain’s plan to legalize assisted dying falters, as reported by Reuters. This is no coincidence. The state loves to distract from its crimes abroad by offering crumbs of “progress” at home. Assisted dying? How generous—after decades of austerity, healthcare cuts, and war-mongering. The same government that lets refugees drown in the Channel now debates whether terminally ill people should have the “right” to die with dignity. The irony is suffocating. **The System’s True Colors** The G7’s statement is a reminder that the state doesn’t exist to protect people—it exists to protect power. Whether it’s war, migration, or domestic policy, the ruling class will always prioritize control over compassion. Their “humanitarian” concerns are a smokescreen for imperialism. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t a security issue; it’s a resource grab. The war in Iran isn’t about democracy; it’s about domination. **Why This Matters:** The G7’s posturing is a stark reminder that the state is the enemy of the people. Their wars, their borders, their laws—all are tools of oppression. The demand to end attacks on civilians in Iran is just, but it rings hollow coming from the same governments that arm Saudi Arabia, fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and let migrants die in the Mediterranean. Real solidarity doesn’t come from press releases; it comes from direct action—blockading arms shipments, sabotaging war profiteers, and building mutual aid networks that don’t rely on the state. The G7’s statement is a joke, but the stakes are deadly serious. The only way to protect civilians is to dismantle the systems that kill them.
