The statement reads:
The escalating conflict in the Middle East with the US attack on Iran entails nightmarish dangers to the peace and security not only of the region but also of the entire world.
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.
The struggle of the people against imperialism must be strengthened!
The Communist and Workers’ Parties signing this Joint Statement strongly condemn the US attack on Iran, which escalates the military offensive already launched by Israel.
After Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and the ongoing genocide in Palestine, the USA and its allies are now shedding the blood of yet another country in the Middle East. This imperialist aggression is plunging people into war across a wider region and threatening to destroy humanity as a whole.
"The direct involvement of the US and the attack with high-powered bombs against Iran is a step towards escalating the imperialist war not only in the Middle East, but across the world.
The main military activity and focus of Israel and the world shifted from Gaza to Iran on June 12. Gaza has gone from being a primary theater to a secondary one.
While Israel continues to destroy and kill in Gaza systematically, Israelis are even less interested in it. The war in Iran shifted global and domestic priorities, but the destruction of Gaza, the genocide unfolding there, and the bleeding Palestinian issue remain the heart of the darkness.
Communist Parties, Communist Youth Organizations and friends abroad who follow the developments in Greece and the activities of the KKE and the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) are asking for information about the work of the communists in the labour and people’s movement. Recently, the university student elections took place in Greece. For the fourth consecutive year, the list supported by the youth of the KKE, KNE, took first place, leaving the youth of the right-wing government party in second place again.

The statements are as follows:
Solidarity with the Palestinian People
At the 39th Congress of the Communist Party of Sweden, the following statement in solidarity with the Palestinian people was adopted:
Devastating war, struggle against imperialism, and national interests
After weeks of indirect negotiations between the Islamic Republic and the Trump administration—which, according to the Wall Street Journal, were aimed at “limiting the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program” and were seen by many as a suitable path to maintaining regional peace—these negotiations ultimately “turned into a convenient cover for a surprise Israeli attack.”
The Tudeh Party of Iran and the Communist Party of Israel strongly condemn the continuous Israeli aggression in the region, and its latest attack on Iran which is in direct violation of international law. We demand an immediate halt to all military action resulting in significant civilian casualties on both sides.
KKE: Statement on Israel's attack on Iran
European Communist Action: The peoples must condemn Israel’s warmongering
The 16th of June 2025 marks the 80th anniversary since the death of the iconic Greek communist guerrilla Aris Velouchiotis.
A member of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and First Captain of the Greek People’s Liberation Army (ELAS) during World War Two, Velouchiotis has been a legendary personality of the Greek Resistance against the Axis occupation.
This act of aggression by Israel cannot be seen in isolation. All of its imperialist allies—including the United States, NATO, and the European Union—bear responsibility, whether through direct or indirect support, ongoing military, trade, or political cooperation.
Bertolt Brecht famously stated: “Those who are against fascism without being against capitalism, who lament the barbarism that breeds barbarism, are like those who want to eat their slice of beef, but do not want the beef to be slaughtered.”
In this way, the German writer made it clear that the genuine anti-fascist struggle entailed the overthrow of capitalism, which is the matrix of fascism.
“Israel’s planned and targeted air and missile attack on Iran, resulting in the deaths of Iranian officials, nuclear scientists and hundreds of civilians, is fueling the flames of war in the Middle East and threatening the peoples of the wider region with disaster. The attack was carried out under the pretext of Iran’s nuclear programme, but its real aim is to impose the imperialist plans of Israel and the USA on the wider region.
Netanyahu's government is dragging the region into a broad and dangerous escalation
Subject: Response to the slanderous attack of the “Appeal”
Dear comrades,
On 11 June 2025, SolidNet received an “Appeal” from Parties attempting yet another slanderous attack, initiated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) and the Russian Communist Workers’ Party (RCWP), regarding an article by the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE entitled “On the International Anti-Fascist Forum in Moscow”.
"The Communist Party of Mexico expresses its solidarity with the multinational working class of the United States, which faces the anti-immigrant policies promoted by the North American state, both by the Republican and Democratic parties, as demonstrated by the mass deportations under the governments of Bush, Obama, and Biden, and which are now intensifying in Trump's second term.

Driven by deep convictions on the safety of their fellow working class members, hundreds of protestors made the courageous decision to directly confront ICE agents. ICE has been a weapon of terror wielded by the ruling class against the workers of this country. Brutalizing migrant workers and breaking up families, Democratic and Republican governments alike have set these dogs on migrant workers. The anger of large sectors of the population with the policies of different managers of capital is growing.
