Stop the War condemns Israel’s attacks on Iran. Israel’s actions bring the prospect of a catastrophic regional conflagration closer.
Israel targeted Irans’s nuclear sites, military commanders and residential neighbourhoods in a brutal assault and in a clear breach of international law. Senior Iranian government and military officials have been killed, the Natanz nuclear facility has been hit and there are numerous civilian casualties, including children.
We demand that the UK government condemns Israel’s actions and defends international law. The UK must not become involved in this dangerous escalation, neither the British navy nor its bases should be used in any way to support Israel’s illegal aggression. Rather the British government must do all it can to de-escalate to avoid a catastrophic, possibly nuclear, war.
Israel has been given a free hand in Gaza and the West Bank, it is now extending its reach to the wider Middle East. It is beyond time for Britain to break all ties with Israel and implement a full arms embargo. The attacks on Iran show just how dangerous Netanyahu’s government is both for the region and the wider world. Israel has been given impunity to act as it chooses for too long, it is now dragging the entire world into war.
