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.

“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
