URGENT: Tonight there will be a live stream interview with the Foreign Minister of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza, about the dire situation in the Caribbean. Five civilian Iranian tankers are on their way to Venezuela with much-needed supplies. The US military claims to have Venezuela surrounded and plans to intercept the tankers. Iran has vowed to take "decisive action" if they do and the Venezuelan military is going to escort the ships.

We will focus on the continuing threats of the U.S. imperialist regime change agenda regarding Venezuela and Iran, with a major objective of seizing control of the biggest (Venezuela) and 4th biggest (Iran) oil reserves in the world. If this imperialist goal is realized, militarized fossil capital will surely extract this oil thereby leading the world ever closer to climate catastrophe. This issue should be front and center on the agenda of the global climate justice movement.
Important webinar on Sunday May 31 at 4:00 pm Eastern!
