Trade Union Statement against the Illegal War on Iran
Trade union leaders have today issued this statement against the war on Iran:
We condemn an illegal war on Iran and the abandonment of diplomatic talks by the United States under pressure from Israel.
Reports of Iranian civilian casualties, including students and schoolchildren, are deeply disturbing and require urgent, independent investigation.
We oppose any attacks on civilians and stand against all unlawful wars. We fear that an attack on Iran will have devastating global consequences, from regional instability to surging oil prices that will hurt working people everywhere.
We oppose any direct or indirect participation by the UK in this conflict and call for an immediate return to diplomacy.
