DiEM25 condemns the latest US aggression against Iran and calls out Israel’s role in fuelling this dangerous escalation

DiEM25 unequivocally condemns the reckless and illegal decision by Donald Trump to launch a military attack on Iran – an act that has not only dramatically escalated regional tensions but has also plunged both the Middle East and the world into yet another entirely preventable crisis.

This is not an isolated incidents, nor is it a spontaneous act of “self-defence”. It is part of a long and dangerous pattern of Western military adventurism that continues to destabilise nations and undermine global peace.

This latest conflict did not begin in a vacuum. It was Israel’s pre-emptive strike – justified by alarmist and entirely unverified claims that Iran was “weeks away” from developing a nuclear weapon – that sparked the most recent wave of violence. These claims, echoed uncritically by Western media outlets and political elites, served as the flimsy rationale for aggression. They are the same tired lies we’ve heard before: from the fabricated weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to the ambiguous “red lines” in Syria.

Once again, the Western propaganda machine is in full gear – spinning narratives, distorting facts, and manufacturing public consent for endless war under the familiar pretext of “national security”.

Let us be clear: Iran is an authoritarian regime with a deeply troubling human rights record. But the path to peace, dignity, and democratic reform in Iran will never be paved by U.S. bombs or Israeli aggression. History has shown time and again that foreign military interventions only serve to empower hardliners, crush civil society, and cause unspeakable suffering for ordinary people – especially workers, minorities, and women.

DiEM25 stands firmly in solidarity with the people of Iran and the wider Middle East who are trapped between the repression of their governments and the violence of imperial powers. We reject this false binary. Our allegiance is not with corrupt regimes or war-profiteers, but with the people – those who dream of justice, dignity, and peace.

Once again, the global establishment is steering us toward another endless war – driven by the familiar forces of profit, power, and paranoia. DiEM25 says: No more. We demand a new international order rooted in justice, transparency, and genuine democracy.
