The unprovoked attack by the US and Israel on Iran is a war of aggression that puts us all at risk. This is yet another illegal military intervention by the US in an oil-rich country for which there is no justification.

The German government must speak out unequivocally against this blatant act of aggression and reject any use of military bases and facilities in Germany in this catastrophic war. This includes the use of the US military base in Ramstein and the exchange of intelligence information.

The German government should demand an immediate end to the attacks on Iran and suspend all arms sales and deliveries to the warring parties. Likewise, deportations of people to Iran must be stopped immediately.

The right of peoples to self-determination applies in Iran, which cannot be implemented through imperialist interventions, but only by the people on the ground. Therefore, the sanctions under which the population is suffering must also be ended immediately.

The attack by the US and Israel is the beginning of a war that is already spreading throughout the region and beyond, which will lead to devastating loss of life, pose an immense threat to world peace, and place an economic burden on people worldwide through rising energy and food prices. Furthermore, by using the US military base in Ramstein, the German government is risking attacks on its own country and its citizens.

International pressure is essential to stop the aggression now.
