In the early hours of June 13, while the world demanded the opening of border crossings for the entry of humanitarian aid to the tormented and blockaded Gaza Strip, the terrorist state of Israel crossed the red line by bombing the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The criminality of the Zionist Israeli government has brought the region and the world to the brink of collapse with its premeditated and cowardly attack. More than 1,500 Iranians, the vast majority of them civilians, have been killed and wounded. Among them are senior officers of the Iranian Armed Forces, the Revolutionary Guard, physicists, scientists, and journalists.
The violation of Iranian airspace, the unjustifiable bombings, and the targeted assassinations of senior military officers are intended to be based on the blatant lie that nuclear facilities pose a danger to the occupier Israel. The collective memory of the people immediately reminds us of the lie tirelessly spread by the United States about Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction, which never existed but, under this false claim, it was their trigger that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, war, destruction, and a 20-year occupation of that country.
The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has contradicted Trump by stating that there is no evidence of Iran manufacturing nuclear weapons that they have inspected over and over.
There is no hidden nuclear program by Iran to manufacture atomic weapons that threaten Israel’s security but as we know in war truth is the first thing to be thrown out.
We reaffirm the words of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, who repeatedly stated that, out of religious and ethical conviction, Iran will not manufacture nuclear weapons.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute and international organizations working for peace and nuclear disarmament indicate that Israel possesses 90 nuclear warheads. The Zionist entity refused to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty and does not allow inspection by the UN’s international nuclear energy agencies. It is Israel and the United States that are the real danger to humanity.
While continuing its attacks against Iran, in the last 24 hours alone, Israel murdered more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza.
Trump, the despotic tycoon who believes himself king of the world, who was repudiated by the American people in more than 2,000 recent demonstrations on the same day, is following Zionism’s script by threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities within two weeks.
The criminality of Zionism and imperialism in 20 months of systematic attacks against tormented Gaza constitutes a demonstration of limitless cruelty, crimes against humanity, and genocide, without having achieved a single one of their objectives: they did not free the hostages, they did not defeat the legitimate government of Gaza, they did not bring the heroic Palestinian people to their knees. The most powerful army in the world, financed and equipped by the most powerful country on the planet has not been unable to defeat the Palestinian Resistance, which lacks a ground army, air force, or naval force, nor do they have anything close to Israel’s advanced, lethal weapons manufactured in the United States and paid for by US tax payers.
Neither Zionism nor imperialism will be able to stop Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
The glorious Iranian people are supported by morality, historical truth, and the legitimate right to defend their land and sovereignty.
Just as heroic Palestine is supported by the legitimate right to resist occupation, extermination, ethnocide, and the lives of its children, women, and people.
We wholeheartedly repudiate Israel’s aggression against Iran.
We repudiate Netanyahu and his Nazi-fascist government, which continues to bomb Gaza and, with absolute impunity, prevents the passage of humanitarian aid.
We demand an end to the war-mongering madness, an end to the war, occupation, and extermination. The threat of a nuclear conflagration would have unpredictable consequences for all humanity.
The UN Security Council and General Assembly must act immediately, alongside governments around the world, to guarantee peace and once and for all stop the new Hitler of the 21st century.
No democratic country with any sense of humanity can continue to have trade and diplomatic relations with Israel.
The world is watching Arab and Muslim countries and calling on them to move from formal declarations to action: immediate severance of relations with Israel, effective solidarity with Iran and Palestine.
- We call for international mobilization, to continue and grow in the streets and squares, to demand that governments immediately sever all relations with the terrorist state of Israel.
- We call for denouncing, by all possible means, the crimes of Zionism and imperialism that threaten the existence of the planet.
- We call for the defense of the right to live in peace.
Solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran!
Solidarity with Palestine. Free from its river to the sea!
