CPI(M) Press Release Condemn the Attacks on Iran

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the attacks on Iran launched by the US and Israel. These attacks are carried out in flagrant violation of Iran's national sovereignty, the UN Charter and all international treaties.

The US and Israel carried out these attacks ignoring the ongoing negotiations with Iran. It is amply clear from the attacks and the statements of US President Donald Trump that they never believed in these negotiations. The US is acting as a belligerent bully, attacking sovereign countries at will. The attack on Iran follows its recent attack on Venezuela and threats issued to Cuba.

The attack on Iran comes immediately after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his visit to Israel. The Government of India should unequivocally condemn the attacks on its friendly count Iran and demand the immediate cessation of hostilities.

PRESS STATEMENT I 28 FEBRUARY, 2026

CPI CONDEMNS US-ISRAELI ATTACK AGAINST IRAN

The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued today (February 28, 2026) the following statement: The Communist Party of India strongly condemns the unilateral military attacks carried out by the United States and Israel against Iran. These acts constitute a grave violation of international law and the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter.

Such reckless military adventurism threatens to further destabilise the entire West Asian region, pushing it towards a wider and more destructive conflict. The CPI firmly believes that these attacks are part of a dangerous strategy aimed at imposing regime change in Iran through military force, in complete disregard of the sovereignty of nations and the right of peoples to determine their own political future.

The Communist Party of India demands an immediate and unconditional halt to the ongoing military aggression against Iran by the United States and Israel, and calls upon the international community, particularly the United Nations, to urgently intervene to stop further escalation and protect regional peace, as the continuation of these attacks will only intensify instability, suffering and destruction across West Asia.

The CPI calls upon the Government of India to categorically condemn these attacks. This aggression is taking place immediately after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel and he should speak up against this dangerous militarism. India must not, in any form, be complicit in or supportive of actions that violate international law and endanger regional and global peace. The Government of India also bears the responsibility of ensuring the safety and protection of Indian citizens in Iran and safeguarding our time tested bilateral relationship, including vital trade and investment ties, which are integral to India's strategic and economic interests.
