Fatah strongly condemns the recent fatal shootings by the American regime in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which resulted in the deaths of unarmed U.S. citizens during an aggressive “immigration enforcement” operation. These events—marked by contradictory official narratives and widespread public outrage—underscore a pattern of routine American aggression both within its own borders and across the globe.
Meanwhile, global mainstream media remains fixated on unrest in the Islamic Republic of Iran—unrest that is openly encouraged, funded, and politically backed by the United States and Israel. This coverage is routinely accompanied by inflammatory rhetoric, coordinated condemnations, and thinly veiled threats of further sanctions or military aggression against Iran.
In stark contrast, the American regime’s own lethal actions against civilians are minimized, depoliticized, or ignored altogether. Such double standards underscore the reality that the issue is not the protection of civilian lives, but the preservation of imperial power.
The events in Minneapolis necessitate a full, independent, and transparent investigation, including the involvement of international observers, free from the influence of the institutions and agencies implicated in the violence itself. Those responsible must be identified and held accountable, and the truth must not be obscured by manufactured narratives.
We extend our unwavering solidarity to the families and communities affected by recent American aggression, from Minneapolis to Tehran.
