Iranian and US Communists condemn bombing of Iran

In a statement issued today, Sunday 22 June 2025, the Central Committee of the Tudeh Party of Iran, condemns the military attack of the United States against the Islamic Republic. The statement reads:

Dear compatriots!

In the first hour of Sunday, the first of Tir 1404 [June 22, 2025], based on published reports, American fighter jets and the naval fleet of this country bombed three nuclear sites in Iran in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, and thus, together with Netanyahu’s criminal regime, officially entered the war against Iran.

Donald Trump, the President of America, announced that these attacks were completed with complete success and threatened that if Iran does not make “peace” with Israel, attacks against Iran will continue with greater intensity. Trump wrote on his social network: “Any retaliatory action by Iran against the United States of America will be met with a force much greater than what we witnessed tonight.”

This criminal attack by the Trump administration, like the attacks by the Israeli government, constitutes military aggression against Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a clear and gross violation of international law contained in the United Nations Charter. Principles that explicitly prohibit any threat of force or use of force against the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence of any member of the United Nations.

Dear compatriots!

The Tudeh Party of Iran, throughout its fruitful history, has always been and will be a defender of the territorial integrity of the homeland. Despite our opposition to the Islamic Republic, we are categorically opposed to any aggressive action to partition Iran and impose forces such as Monarchists, Mojahedin, or any group that does not arise from the will of the people and operates within the framework of the interests of foreign powers, such as America.

The Tudeh Party of Iran calls upon all progressive and freedom-loving forces of the country to stand together in unity and coordinated action against the conspiracies of world imperialism led by American imperialism and Netanyahu’s criminal government and not allow the fate of our homeland to be determined by such criminals.

The Tudeh Party of Iran asks all progressive and freedom-loving forces of the world, the global workers’ and communist movement, to raise their voice of protest in solidarity with the Iranian people against these criminal and joint Trump-Netanyahu warmongering activities, and by mobilising world public opinion, confront the danger of another devastating war in the Middle East region.

Statement on the US Criminal Bombing of Iran

On the evening of June 21, the United States joined the murderous state of Israel in its war against Iran. The Trump administration, representing the longstanding alliance between the US and Israeli bourgeoisies, joins Netanyahu to push the world closer to a generalized war. US warplanes bombed three nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. This criminal act exposes the hypocrisy of the Trump administration’s claims to be a force for peace and to keep the US out of wars.

Iran occupies a strategic crossroads, linking the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Indian subcontinent. It borders three major bodies of water: the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Sea of Oman. Its geopolitical position, especially its control over the Strait of Hormuz, makes it a key target for US-Israeli ambitions in the region. Iran is also rich in natural resources, holding the world’s fourth-largest proven reserves of crude oil and the second-largest reserves of natural gas, after Russia.

Behind the pretext of preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon lies the real motive: control over these new markets, resources, trade routes and to get it the US is willing to plunge the region and potentially the world into a global conflict. The ultimatums, threats, and diplomatic blackmail issued by the US-EU-NATO and Israel aim to justify this imperialist aggression and dominance in the region.

The Communist Workers’ Platform condemns this criminal aggression by the US against Iran. Communists and workers stand in full solidarity with the workers and people of Iran and the wider Middle East, who face the violence and terror of US-Israeli imperialism and its allies.

We call on the world communist movement, on the workers and the peoples of the US and around the world to intensify the struggle and mobilization against the mounting danger of war, a danger that risks nuclear catastrophe.

Now is the time for a strong resistance: to raise and broaden the demands of communists for the dismantling and closure of all US military bases worldwide; for the abolition of imperialist alliances and treaties; and for an immediate end to all forms of economic, political, and military support to the genocidal state of Israel.

Down with US-Israeli Imperialism!

Down with the Trump administration!
