Israel's attack on Iran has imposed another war on our country. By bombing military and nuclear facilities, infrastructure and important industrial institutions of the country, destroying roads, bridges, airports, oil tanks, refineries and neighborhoods, the lives, health and well-being of millions of Iranians are at risk. In the few days since the bombings began, hundreds of people have died in various cities and places and more than 1,500 people have been injured. All the areas that are being destroyed are in the vicinity of where you people live. Even hospitals have not been immune from military attacks. The criminal Israeli government justifies the killing of the Iranian people and the destruction of our country's homes and economic infrastructure, just like the killing and destruction this regime committed in Gaza, and it use the same model and does not shy away from committing any crime.
By fueling hostility and enmity with Israel, the Islamic Republic has provided the necessary excuses for the recent aggression of the Israeli government. Now the risk of expanding military conflicts and turning it into a full-scale war in the region has become a real matter. So far, none of the international institutions and major governments in the world and the region have made any effort to stop the aggression of this war-mongering government on the territory of our country. major Western countries have emphasized “Israel’s right to defend itself.” However, everyone is aware that Israel’s action was not in response to any aggression, but rather the main aggressor is the aggressor government of Israel. It is clear that there has been no attack by Iran on Israel that could be used to speak of Israel’s right to defend itself. But the leaders of these countries defend the criminal actions of the Israeli government everywhere. So far, the Israeli government has repeatedly invaded most of the countries in the region, and each time these invasions have been justified by its Western allies in the name of self-defense; something that has no precedent in the case of any other country in the world.
There is no doubt that the Islamic Republic has imposed a heavy cost on our country with its reactionary and anti-people policies; including its adventures in the region, organizing proxy forces in other countries, as well as arming and strengthening militia forces in Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria, and aiding movements such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Houthis. It has always played a role in escalating tensions in the region, but so far, our country has not attacked any country in the Middle East. The Islamic Republic’s direct conflict with Israel, apart from the actions of its proxy forces, was only after Israel attacked the Iranian embassy in Damascus, to which it responded by firing missiles.
Another pretext for the Israeli government is the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, which has been an internationally disputed issue for more than two decades. In this case, negotiations with the US government were still ongoing, which was interrupted by the Israel’s attack. An agreement with the US, which was not unlikely, could have taken away an important excuse from the Netanyahu government. The Islamic Republic's delay in recent negotiations and the missed opportunities that have been made in this matter over the past two decades have caused serious political and economic damage to our country. The main person responsible for the stupid missed opportunities that have been made in ending this dispute, apart from Trump, who exited the JCPOA agreement, is Khamenei and his close associates, who have brought every agreement to a deadlock and lost the last opportunity in the last round of negotiations.
In our opinion, the entire nuclear program of the Islamic Republic has been and is of no economic value and in every respect has been of no importance to the country. Iran has vast natural and human resources for sustainable development, and spending billions on a program that lacks economic prospects and is internationally disputed, and in particular, insisting on uranium enrichment in Iran and refusing to suspend it, is unjustifiable. This destructive policy has already caused hundreds of billions of dollars in losses to the country and has crippled the country’s economy with sanctions and international isolation.
We demand:
1- An immediate ceasefire, an unconditional cessation of war and military actions, and an immediate halt to this aggression;
2- Return to the negotiating table, agree to halt or suspend enrichment in Iran, and end economic sanctions;
3- Joint and coordinated action with all forces defending democracy, pluralism, and human rights, to end the evil rule of the Islamic Republic and transfer power to a government elected by the people through the ballot box.
Freedom loving people of Iran,
Dear compatriots
Your efforts to get out of the current situation and establish a different and better future in the days after the Islamic Republic, a future of freedom and security for all citizens of the country, and the foundation of a democratic system that relies on the will of the entire Iranian nation, have reached a peak in recent years and has paved the way for the transition from the Islamic Republic to the establishment of a democratic and secular system. Let us not allow aggressor governments like the current Israeli government, whose hands are stained with the blood of tens of thousands of Palestinians and whose prime minister is accused of genocide in international courts, to emerge as saviors, plow our country with bombs and bullets, destroy its infrastructure, and promise you freedom. History will not forgive those who encourage such actions against their country.
With the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement, you demonstrated a different culture and the manifestations of a modern life, far from the old and stereotypical forms that have been imposed on society by force of the bayonet. These values have gained a global presence beyond the borders of Iran and, after the dark decades of the Islamic Republic's rule, revived hope for change in our country and made a better future more possible. This hope is still alive and. Let us breathe new life into this hope and create a different future for our country and its people. The only power that can make this change possible is your united power.
The Left Party of Iran, with its condolences to all the families whose loved ones have fallen victim to the bombings of the aggressor Israeli government, invites all compatriots to form popular cooperative committees in neighborhoods and throughout Iran. So far, under the Israeli bombings, the Islamic Republic has not taken any other action to help the people and stop the war, except to intensify the repression of the people. Our party strongly supports the formation of the People's Solidarity Committees and declares its support and solidarity with their activities. We also call on all leftist, democratic and republican forces committed to democracy to cooperate and coordinate in ending the evil rule of the Islamic Republic and to uphold our long-standing vow in striving to achieve freedom and social justice in Iran.
Fourth Congress of the Left Party of Iran
