The Socialist Labour Party wishes to condemn, without reserve, the attack on the sovereign state of Iran by the United States and Israel.
This illegal act of aggression under international law has already cost innocent human lives, and we see this as the latest of a series of conflicts, spurred on by the US’s imperialist ambitions in that part of the world.
We also condemn the duplicitous response of the UK government, which has claimed, on the one-hand to be free of involvement while simultaneously deploying aircraft in the conflict arena, instead of working towards de-escalation and negotiation. We urge the immediate ban of arms sales and military aid to the aggressor states, from the UK.
We are concerned by the potential for escalation in this conflict and the possibility that this could be a key moment in global history, should this conflict develop even further.
We stand in solidarity with the people of Iran.
