The International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organisations (CIPOML) has strongly condemned the ongoing US-Israeli military aggression against Iran, which began with airstrikes and assassinations on 13 June.

Drawing parallels with the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, which was justified by the false claim of 'weapons of mass destruction', the statement argues that the current assault is similarly using Iran’s nuclear programme as a pretext. Reports suggest that former US President Donald Trump approved an attack plan, but delayed issuing the final order in order to offer Iran a 'chance to surrender' by accepting US demands in nuclear talks.

The declaration asserts that the US has not only supported, but also actively directed, Israel’s aggression as part of a broader strategy to reshape the Middle East. This includes regime-change efforts in Syria, the war on Gaza and, now, targeting Iran in order to weaken its regional influence.

The CIPOML declaration continues as follows:

"Israel, which cannot be doubted as an accursed aggressor, is a striking force of American imperialism, which aims to take the Middle East under its unconditional domination by neutralising and excluding its rivals, including border and regime changes in certain countries. It is not that it does not have its own special interests and aims, such as becoming the dominant regional power, and it even forces the USA to achieve these aims from time to time, but it harmonises its own with its strategic aims, approaches and plans and is used by the USA as a striking force.

Israel, which also produces weapons but receives unlimited arms, ammunition and space intelligence support from the USA, does not conceive of itself and its aggression without the USA to such an extent that it was able to start bombing Iran without any concern, even though it had a stock of missiles for a week and ten days.

This is evident in the statements and declarations of Trump, who has presented himself as the ‘commander-in-chief’ of the war. It was he who called on Iran to ‘surrender’, it was he who said that ‘the problem will be solved if Iran returns to the nuclear negotiations and signs the agreement as he said it would be signed’.

At the moment, American imperialism and Israeli Zionism are bombarding Iran with bombs and missiles and raining blood and cruelty from the air on the Iranian people, Persian, Azerbaijani and Kurdish. The son of the Shah, who was overthrown by the Iranian Revolution in 1979, has already declared his readiness to rule Iran in line with the interests and directives of American imperialism.

Today, when the bombs are killing the Iranian people, it is not the time to make speeches on the ‘reactionary and popular hostility of the Mullahs’ and justify the American-Israeli aggression. The Mullahs are undoubtedly reactionary, but the task of the day is to stop the brutal American-Israeli aggression.

We condemn the American-Israeli aggression against Iran. There is no doubt that the Iranian workers and people have the right to defend themselves and we call on the peoples of the Middle East and the world to struggle against imperialism and Zionism." (EVRENSEL DAILY)
