The Left Party of Iran calls on the Republican and Democratic opposition to understand this historical moment. Our country today needs something beyond this or that platform that each of us wants and the continuation of the confrontation of these platforms in the political arena. Today, while adhering to our platform, we must think about a joint action plan for major changes at the national level. A plan that, as a national pact, includes the minimum commonalities of a large part of the opposition forces and responds to the needs of the people's revolutionary movement at this critical moment.

We urgently call for efforts to initiate proceedings against the Islamic Republic of Iran on charges of crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court. Furthermore, we demand the immediate and unconditional release of political and conscience prisoners, the annulment of death sentences, and guarantees of the fundamental rights of detainees.

The Iraqi Communist Party also stresses that the gains achieved in the areas of the Autonomous Administration (of North and East Syria) represent a fundamental pillar of stability and a solid barrier against terrorism. Any attempt to undermine them by force will only spread chaos and weaken the prospects for a comprehensive national political solution.

There is only one just path forward: the self-determination of the Iranian people. Their right to determine their own future are non-negotiable. Only the autonomous struggle of the Iranian people, free from foreign interference and the false alternatives of competing authoritarianisms can chart the country’s course and bring true democracy and justice to the nation.

he Iranian people’s struggle for bread, freedom, and human dignity must remain independent and rooted in their own collective will. Any form of foreign military attack or coercive intervention would only deepen violence, fuel instability, and ultimately undermine the legitimacy and effectiveness of the popular movement.

Take every possible step to immediately release those arrested in recent protests and all political prisoners.
Urgently and publicly address and condemn the violent repression of protesters and the violations of the right to life, the right to peaceful assembly, and freedom of expression in Iran.
Utilize the mechanisms and capacities available within your mandate to draw the attention of relevant United Nations bodies and to increase international pressure aimed at halting human rights violations in Iran.

We firmly condemn the aggression and military attack by the United States government on Venezuela. This act of violence again demonstrates that resorting to force is a dangerous and unacceptable alternative to political and diplomatic solutions.

Trump believes in ‘might is right’ and exercises this belief. Thus he tramples under foot any vestige of international law or even well understood and respected principles of a bygone era. Trump has pushed the world into a period of instability and chaos. Trust and diplomacy are out the door

May the New Year be blessed to everyone in a world that still suffers from the wounds of war, inequality, discrimination, injustice, and tyranny, but at the same time, signs of hope for perseverance, resistance, and awakening are sprouting everywhere.

The Left Party of Iran condemns the open aggression against Venezuela. This act is a deliberate trampling of international law and a dangerous turning point in the collapse of the world's legal order. We emphasize that no power has the right to consider itself the judge, prosecutor, and executor of the fate of nations. Defending freedom, democracy, and human rights does not go through coups and military intervention.
