Unite and strongly condemn US bombing in Iran
The
Party calls on the Filipino people to join and support the New People's
Army and advance the people's war, as the principal form of struggle to
fight the puppet Marcos regime and the US-supported reactionary armed
forces. By intensifying and expanding the people's war against the US
puppet troops of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Filipino
people effectively contributes to the struggle of the people of the
world to fight and prevent imperialist war.

The
Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) joins all peace-loving and
democratic forces around the world in condemning in the strongest terms
the US imperialist government of Donald Trump for the bombing of three
Iranian nuclear facilities in the early morning hours of June 22.
The
US bombing of Iran, that follows more than one week of missile strikes
by the Zionist state of Israel, is a brazen violation of Iran's national
sovereignty and a gross crime against international law.
The
pretext about Iran's program for developing nuclear weapons, that Trump
has used to justify the US bombing, is the same justification that
Benjamin Netanyahu for firing missiles against Iran. This has been
repeatedly dismissed by experts and even by the US intelligence agency
as groundless.
The "preemptive
strikes" carried out by the US and Israel are based on claims similar to
the big lie of "weapons of mass destruction" which the US imperialists
used to justify its invasion and overthrow of Saddam Hussein in more
than twenty years ago.
In weaving
such a narrative, the US imperialists insists that it alone has the
right to determine who can develop and possess nuclear weapons. It also
insists on having the unfounded right to impose its will on any country,
and to punish anyone that does not bow to its authority based on its
nuclear-backed military power.
The
US bombing derails the efforts of the Arab community and leading
European countries, along with Iran, to push for negotiations to forge a
nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Trump himself abrogated the
non-proliferation treaty in 2018 and has shown no interest in restoring
it. Instead, he threatens to assassinate the Iranian Supreme Leader,
calls for the overthrow of the Irani government, and demands its
"unconditional surrender."
By
dropping bombs on Iran, Trump wants to extend his authoritarian style of
government beyond the borders of the US. The desire of US President
Trump to reign as global king must be condemned and rejected by
freedom-loving people of the world.
The
US bombing of Iran constitutes an outright war of aggression. The clear
objective of this war is for Iran to surrender its sovereignty and the
country's wealth and resources. In seeking to force Iran to its knees,
the US aims to control the vast oil resources of the country and the
region.
Iran has all the right to
defend its sovereignty and interests against the US-Israel war of
aggression. We support the Iranian people as they rise up in their
millions against the much detested US imperialist ogre.
By
declaring war against Iran, Trump has roused calls for him to be
impeached and removed from office, for having done so without
congressional approval. In the coming days and weeks, it will certainly
galvanize calls for him to be ousted from power. The American people are
fed up by his authoritarianism and are ready to take action to put an
end to his tyranny. They have the support of all freedom-loving forces
around the world.
People all over
the world, including the Filipino people, must stand with the people of
Iran, as well as with the Palestinian people, in fighting the US-Israel
war machine, as it rampages through the Middle East to force nations to
bow to its power, and surrender their freedom. In Gaza, the US-supported
Israeli bombing has killed close to 60,000 people, maimed hundreds of
thousands more, and caused a massive humanitarian crisis characterized
by disease and hunger. Israeli occupying forces have been daily killing
hundreds of Palestinians in desperate food lines.
Trump
must be made to pay for his transgressions. Otherwise, he will only be
emboldened to commit even worse crimes as the US imperialists
desperately avoid a recession amid a deepening global capitalist crisis,
and seek to redivide the world to get the biggest share of the plunder
for itself.
In ordering the
bombing of Iran, Trump has pushed the world closer to the precipice of a
prolonged and more intense armed conflict, that runs the risk of
pulling more and more countries into the vortex of a war covering the
Middle East and beyond, and causing even greater sufferings on millions
upon millions of people, including hundreds of thousands of Filipino
migrant workers toiling overseas.
The
Filipino proletariat and people must stand firmly against US
imperialists wars. They must denounce the puppet Marcos regime for
having allowed the US to build more military bases, deploy thousands of
US troops, stockpile its weapons and stage one war exercise after
another on Philippine soil, air and seas. They must resolutely fight
against US imperialist wars, and stand firm and united in demanding an
end to US military intervention and military presence in the country.
The
Filipino people must organize mass protests to manifest their
indignation against the US imperialists and its Israeli Zionist lackeys
for the war of aggression against Iran, and to manifest solidarity to
the Iranian and Palestinian people as they fight to defend their rights
and their land. They must fight the Marcos regime whose subservience has
allowed the US to drag the Philippines to its war strategy.
