No Cold War Britain opposes the attack on Iran

No Cold War Britain believes that President Trump has not made the legal case for attacking Iran, and that international law makes no discrimination between a nation carrying out the act of war and a nation supporting that act of war.

Starmer has now made us such a supporter and the UK is now equally complicit with this outrageous crime. Starmer has done this because a suspected, but not confirmed Iranian drone, crashed into the runway at the UK’s RAF base in Southern Cyprus. British and Cypriot officials confirmed the damage was limited and there were no casualties. Regardless of the consequences Starmer has now dragged us into this war to try and placate Trump, but failed as it is clearly not enough for Trump. This stupid and dangerous agreement must now be rejected and we call on the government to stop supporting this criminal war immediately.

Below is the statement by No Cold War which we agree with and support.

On 28 February, Israel and the United States launched military strikes on various targets in Iran. Israel and the United States claimed that they fired ‘pre-emptively’.

But there was nothing pre-emptive about these strikes, since Iran has neither threatened Israel nor the United States, nor has Iran built up its military capacity to do so.

These strikes are an act of aggression, a violation of the United Nations Charter. Iran has said repeatedly that it is uninterested in attaining nuclear weapons, and it has negotiated in good faith with the United Nations, the United States, and the European Union to prevent any continuation of conflict.

Both Israel and the United States have acted in bad faith, uninterested in negotiations and only focused on war.

No Cold War condemns these military strikes on Iran.

We call upon the United Nations Security Council to convene an immediate session to deliberate on the violation of the UN Charter, namely Article 2 that protects the sovereignty of each member states, including Iran.
