Trump’s attack on Iran is brutal, illegal and unjustified. Stop the War condemns it unequivocally and urges every possible mobilisation against British military or political support for the aggression.
By taking this action, Trump has aligned the US with Israel’s war aim of removing all possible obstacles to completing its genocidal elimination of the Palestinian people.
It risks a considerable widening of the conflict in the Middle East and a repeat of the disastrous interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
It is entirely hypocritical of Keir Starmer to endorse these attacks while preaching the need for ‘de-escalation’ in the region. He appears to believe that Iran should exclusively follow diplomacy, while Israel and the US assail it militarily. This is a bankruptcy of British policy.
We demand an immediate halt to the aggression against Iran, no use of any British bases or other military assets to support the aggressors and the peaceful resolution of all issues relating to Iran’s nuclear programme.
Above all, we demand an end to Israel’s genocidal attacks on the Palestinian people, reaching new levels of depravity with each passing week, and an end to British government complicity in these crimes.
