In an article published in its central organ Nameh Mardom ("People's Letter"), the Iranian communist party argues that the country remains trapped in a state of political uncertainty despite the reported framework agreement. According to the article, Iran today finds itself "neither at war nor at peace," facing a complex combination of external threats and deep internal crises.
At the same time, the party stresses that the gravest challenges facing Iran stem from domestic conditions. Rising inflation, unemployment, poverty, social inequality and the continued erosion of living standards have placed enormous burdens on millions of workers and ordinary people. The article notes that growing labor, pensioners' and social protests demonstrate the persistence of widespread dissatisfaction with the country's economic and political situation.
A central focus of the Tudeh Party's analysis is its criticism of what it calls the "merchants of war"—hardline political and military circles that seek to maintain a permanent atmosphere of tension and confrontation. According to the article, sections of the security apparatus and ultra-conservative forces view the continuation of a "no war, no peace" situation as a means of strengthening repression, restricting democratic rights and preserving their political influence.
The Iranian communists argue that the constant invocation of external threats is frequently used to justify censorship, political persecution and the suppression of popular demands. In such an environment, social protests and democratic aspirations are portrayed as threats to national security, while the real causes of public discontent remain unresolved.
The article also points to growing disagreements within the ruling establishment regarding the country's future course. While some factions favor maintaining existing policies, others are increasingly concerned about the long-term consequences of continued economic crisis, political isolation and regional tensions.
The Tudeh Party emphasizes that neither foreign intervention nor authoritarian rule can offer a solution to Iran's problems. It argues that the country urgently needs a stable and lasting peace, together with the development of a broad democratic movement capable of uniting workers, women, students, teachers, pensioners, intellectuals and progressive political forces.
Concluding its analysis, the party stresses that Iran's future will not be determined by negotiations among great powers or by the calculations of security institutions, but by the ability of popular and democratic forces to organize collectively in pursuit of freedom, social justice and national sovereignty.
According to the Tudeh Party, the struggle for peace is inseparable from the struggle against both foreign intervention and domestic repression, and requires the building of a democratic alternative capable of addressing the aspirations of the Iranian people.
