Stop the War coalition: Iran ceasefire statement

Iran Ceasefire Announced
UK must break with US for good

Stop the War Statement on Iran Ceasefire

We welcome the two-week ceasefire between Iran and the US. Trump and Netanyahu’s war has been a brutal and illegal onslaught on the people of Iran and Lebanon. It has created humanitarian disaster, destruction of infrastructure, environmental damage and economic crisis. None of this will be easily overcome, and it is the people of the world who will suffer. The western sanctions on Iran must be lifted, and reparations paid for the terrible damage done to Iran. 

Trump’s threat to destroy a civilisation, with its implied threat of nuclear war, has sent a chill around the world. We regard Trump as a dangerous war criminal and have no illusions that this ceasefire will hold. We are committed to opposing any further attacks, and those of Netanyahu’s Israel on Lebanon and on the Palestinian people. 

Keir Starmer has been complicit in this illegal war, and we demand he stops allowing US planes to use British bases. The so called ‘special relationship’ is finished, and the British government must break with Trump and his warmongering policies. 

We will be announcing further actions soon. Please check our website and look out for newsletters.
