SACP condemns imperialist US-Israeli military attack on Iran

Saturday, 28 February 2026:-  The South African Communist Party (SACP) has learned and is observing the ongoing imperialistic military attacks by apartheid Israel and imperialist US in Iran and condemns them as imperialistic and a violation of international law.

The joint military attack on Iran by Israel and  the US is a continuation of an imperialistic policy of the US on the people of Iran. While this attack is reprehensible by all measures, it is not surprising to those who understand the workings of imperialism. The attack only serves to confirm the increasingly belligerent nature of the US-Israel imperialistic axis of power.

The loss of life even at this early stage of the military attacks reflects the extreme nature of the violence that has been unleashed on the people of Iran. The Israeli apartheid settler regime holds the position of an imperialist aggressor in the Middle East and has been initiating consistent acts of provocation towards Iran. This act is the climax of a series of actions where Israel has been deliberately creating conditions of war with a strong backing of the US.

Israel is not only an instrument of global US imperialism, but also a partner in imperialist efforts to impose US hegemony over the world and its natural and economic resources, and to subject all governments to US political and economic interests.

The cause of this war lies in the Israeli and US imperial agenda to undermine the sovereignty of all other nations in order to pursue its own interests. Any and all defensive actions of Iran emerge out of these well-orchestrated conditions of violence from the imperialist actors in this scenario and not out of vacuum.

As the SACP, we condemn the attacks on Iran. We pledge solidarity with the people of Iran. We call on all progressives forces and all anti-imperialist forces to join hands with us to demand the end of violence as perpetrated by the US and Israel.
