The Black Alliance for Peace Condemns the U.S.-Israeli War on Iran

Iran

The U.S. and Israel are rogue states whose existence threatens international peace and security. 

Originally published in Black Alliance for Peace.

The Black Alliance For Peace condemns, in the strongest terms, the recent U.S.-Israeli bombing of Tehran and other cities in Iran, which included the bombing of an all-girls school in Minab, which reportedly killed at least 50 students. This military attack is a flagrant violation of the most fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter. As articulated by Iran's Foreign Ministry and multiple international observers, it constitutes a clear act of aggression against a sovereign member state, undermining international peace and security. Such actions underscore the rogue statism of the U.S. and Israel as existential threats. Western powers, particularly the U.S., have embraced "international lawlessness" to support Israeli expansionism. In just the last two months, this lawlessness has enabled the kidnapping of President NicolĂĄs Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, and the bombing, invasion, and ongoing intervention in Venezuela; the heightened strangulation and attacks on Cuba; and now bombing and possible further attacks against Iran.

This criminal escalation serves the interests of no one but the imperialist-zionist warmongers. It flies in the face of domestic and global public opinion, which largely rejects such violence. The international community has condemned the strikes as an unprovoked act of armed aggression. When faced with such international gangsterism, we must ask: whose interests are being upheld? Certainly not those of the Iranian schoolchildren, workers, or the millions worldwide who desire peace. It is the capitalist-imperialist ruling class that rules through ever-accelerating militarism and the most extremist elements in Tel Aviv and Washington that benefit from this carnage.

Such U.S. and Israeli murderous lawlessness forces us to take coordinated action to impose consequences on these states. The international community of nations must not allow the normalization of U.S. led global fascism. This is why BAP has called for organizations and people of conscience to demand that FIFA move the World Cup out of the U.S., demand that both FIFA and the IOC ban the U.S. and Israel from hosting or participating in International Sporting Events, and to join coordinated resistance to Boycott the World Cup.  U.S. Zionist-imperialist impunity must end now! 

More immediately, we call on all people of conscience to stand with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian people against this bombing and intervention, to mobilize where they are against the widening scope of U.S. wars, and to defend the right of peoples and nations to resist imperialist violence.
