The WFTU strongly condemns the new imperialist attack by the US and Israel against Iran. The attack constitutes a blatant violation of every principle of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states and brutally undermines the UN Charter and every concept of international law.

The attack threatens to ignite even greater escalation in an already burning region, with the sole aim of promoting the imperialist plans of the US and Israel in the wider Middle East.

Their invocation of supposed sensitivity to democracy and human rights in Iran is blatantly hypocritical. Such pretexts have been used in the past for similar raids, with disastrous and bloody results for the peoples and states of the region.

The course and future of Iran is a matter for its people, whose struggles WFTU always supported, and not a choice of foreign imperialist powers whose only interest is to use their military strength to promote their own geopolitical and economic interests in the region.

The WFTU expresses its undivided solidarity with the people of Iran and the peoples of the Middle East who are suffering from imperialist intervention and Israeli aggression, and calls on its affiliates around the world to mobilize in condemnation of the new military attack against Iran and for an immediate end to military operations.

- NO TO AMERICAN-ISRAELI IMPERIALISTIC RAID

- RESPECT FOR THE SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE OF STATES
