The Socialist Workers Party of Croatia SRP condemns

against Iran the imperialist aggression of the USA and Israel

The Socialist Workers' Party of Croatia SRP strongly condemns the joint military attack of the United States and Israel on the sovereign country of Iran, which began on February 28, 2026.

We consider this act a brutal continuation of imperialist policy directed against the independent countries of the South.

This attack, which Israeli officials cynically called a "preventive operation", and US President Donald Trump called it "major combat operations" and "Epic rage", represents a shameless violation of the Charter of the United Nations and the most basic norms of international law, but also a mockery of the recently formed so-called "Peace Committee". Although we are not happy with the government structure in Iran. The SRP expresses solidarity with the working class and people of Iran, who are once again paying the price for their country's refusal to bow to the dictates of Western imperialism.

This aggression constitutes a direct attack on the territorial integrity and independence of Iran, denying its people the right to their own independent development without foreign interference. The attack, launched without the authorization of the United Nations Security Council, exposes the contempt of the United States and Israel for multilateral institutions, repeating the same crime as the disastrous invasion of Iraq in 2003. The pretext of a “preemptive” strike against a non-existent nuclear threat is a wasted and dangerous justification for aggression, which only serves to perpetuate endless wars while ignoring Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal and the vast stockpiles of nuclear weapons by the United States.

Furthermore, this attack is not an isolated incident, but part of a clear pattern of US-Israeli aggression against countries in the Middle East, including the “12-day war” in June 2025. The goal of this attack is not security, but the destabilization of any state that opposes imperial hegemony.

This attack is part of a wider imperialist front, which also includes continued support for Israeli colonialism and apartheid against the Palestinian people. It is necessary to firmly resist all forms of oppression and stand up for the right of all peoples to self-determination.

We must also condemn the long-standing imperialist economic war waged against Iran through economic sanctions, illegal blockades and relentless political pressure. These measures of collective punishment against the Iranian people deliberately deprived the population of access to food, medicine and other basic necessities with the aim of stifling the Iranian economy. SRP condemns this hypocritical policy that produces human suffering for geopolitical gain and exposes the lie that sanctions are a peaceful alternative to war. Sanctions are war by other means, directed against the most vulnerable, while the perpetrators of this brutality profit from the crises they cause.

This war serves the interests of the military-industrial complex and the geopolitical strategy of the NATO pact, not the working people of the United States, Israel, or Iran. Resources spent on destruction have been taken away from the health, education and social welfare of countries around the world.

The Socialist Workers' Party of Croatia calls on the working class and all progressive forces in Croatia, Europe and the world to raise their voices in demonstrating their opposition. We demand an immediate halt to the aggression and the withdrawal of all aggressor forces. We call on the government of the Republic of Croatia to officially condemn this attack and to cease all forms of military and logistical cooperation with the aggressor states. Furthermore, we demand the immediate lifting of all illegal sanctions and blockades imposed on the Iranian people.

The only path to a just and lasting peace is the end of the imperialist system and the creation of changes in the world that will enable the self-determination of peoples, workers' democracy and international solidarity.
