Donald Trump’s pause in the brutal bombardment of Iran has come too late for the thousands of people who have been killed and maimed in this illegal and unprovoked war. It has come too late to avert disastrous economic consequences around the world.
It is, however, proof that the war is not going well for the US militarily, economically and in terms of public opinion.
We warned from the start of this war that it would cause nothing but death and misery for the people of Iran and the region and that it risked devastating knock on effects globally. Our demand now is for a permanent halt to the attacks and an immediate end to Israel’s assault on Iran, its invasion of Lebanon and its continuing genocide against the Palestinian people.
We also demand that Britain plays no further part in these interventions and breaks firmly and finally with Trump’s foreign policy.
We will be staying in the streets until all of these have been achieved and we urge everyone to join the ‘Together for Palestine, Stop bombing Iran’ feeder march for this Saturday’s Together demonstration.
