STSW Statement at Newcastle Monument Rally
Opposing
the US attack on Iran
June 24 2025

STSW condemns the
barbaric U.S. aggression against Iran and West Asia as a whole. The
U.S. launched a massive terrorist attack on Iran, targeting its
nuclear facilities Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Initial reports
indicate that only entry and exit doors were damaged at the Fordow
base while the areas around the Natanz and Esfahan facilities
suffered damage.
The attack on
nuclear facilities in Iran with Trump claiming it was protecting
humanity and the cause of peace shows the kind of barbarism humanity
is facing from the US with again international law replaced by
US-Israeli state terrorism. This follows on from the Israeli
bombing attack on these same nuclear facilities and killing men women
and children in Iran as well as the murder of military leaders and
scientists many in their own homes alongside their families and
neighbours. Any country which supports the attacks of these monsters,
or its justification by blaming Iran for war dangers in West Asia and
the world is also guilty of these war crimes.
The peoples
opposition to their government’s aggression was shown by Mass
Demonstrations all over the US as well as in many counties including
here in London Westminster outside the US Embassy, and here in
Newcastle. This was alongside demonstrations on Monday opposing the
attempt by the Starmer government to ban Palestine Action who are
becoming so effective in opposing Israeli military production for
genocide.
Turning truth on its
head, Donald Trump's declaration at his news conference confirms how
he is seeking to establish himself as the arbiter of what he calls
peace in the world, on his terms. Every crime of aggression committed
by the United States in the last decades is to be ignored and blamed
on Iran and the Resistance movements with the claim that the US
stands for Peace alongside Israel.
In this way the U.S.
attempts to convince the world it has the strongest military the
world has ever seen and thus all countries must submit to it.
However, it is the peoples of the world fighting for their own aims
who are decisive, not weapons, not plans to dominate the world, not
the crimes against humanity. It is the U.S., Israel, the so-called
G-7 which the people are calling the Genocide 7 and their
collaborators who are responsible for wars and genocide today.
Also this latest war
crime of the US has again shown that the International Atomic Energy
Agency is controlled by the west. An agency that 20 years ago used
to try and justify the illegal invasion of Iraq. Israel has never
signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and secretly has
nuclear weapons. Yet we know that the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi has been working
covertly with Israel to politicise its work with Iran. He has handed
over confidential details and names of the Iranian peaceful nuclear
programme and the scientists involved to a non IAEA state. The IAEA
has again played a Dirty Role in Iran.
STSW condemns the
use of force to sort out problems in the world as we have always
done. We join with the peace-loving forces to oppose these crimes
against humanity against Iran and the ongoing genocide against the
Palestinians. Let us continue to work together to oppose Britain’s
increased war spending, militarisation of the economy and war
preparations and their proxy wars against East Asia in Ukraine and
wars against West Asia in Iran, Yemen and against the Palestinian
peoples.
Hands
off
Iran!
Condemn
the Use of Force to Sort Out Problems!
Stop
arming Israel!
Stop
the Genocide in
Palestine Now!
