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!
