On 28 February 2026, United States and Israel carried out strikes against Iran while negotiations were still ongoing. This was a repeat of the same scenario played against Iran in June 2025.
In the early hours of the aggression, a primary school in Minab was bombed, resulting in the deaths of 168 children and 14 teachers. Air strikes have continued since, targeting civilian areas and causing significant casualties as well as damage to hospitals, emergency services, sports stadiums, world heritage sites and infrastructure such as fuel storage, water and electricity facilities.
U.S. officials have for decades cited concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear program and have assessed Iran to be weeks away from a nuclear weapon. These assertions have been categorically refuted by UN experts throughout the years and echo the lies used by Western media to justify the attacks on Iraq and its people in 2003, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and a country in ruin.
Britain plays a pivotal role in this war. Its support or rejection of demands by the U.S. has a direct impact on ending the war. Yet the government has decided to provide logistical and media support despite public protests and thus put British people and British interests at very high risk. Already under the guise of “supporting allies” British fighter jets are being deployed near Iran and American B-52 bombers have appeared in RAF sites. This is dragging us and the world into WWIII.
This war is Israel’s new adventure to distract from the genocide it is committing in Palestine. The Epstein files have revealed in plain daylight how powerful figures in Britain and the U.S. have been compromised by a network connected to the Israeli Mossad. And how superpowers and their resources can be taken hostage to conduct wars that by any logic go against the interests of their own populations.
Iran is not a defenseless nation. The Iranian military had warned repeatedly in the past months that it is ready for a long fight and that if it is attacked, in addition to hitting Israel as the primary instigator of this war, given the direct U.S. involvement, it will also hit U.S. bases and their logistical support network across multiple countries in the region. And that’s exactly what we are witnessing today. U.S. attacks are coordinated and directly supported by bases surrounding Iran in Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia and across the EU.
Internally, despite political differences, Iranians are more united than ever. A proud nation of 92 million, they know all too well and have bitter memories of Western and particularly British colonialism in the region and have stated that they are determined to defend their homeland and their families at any cost.
Enough is enough.
The British government must unequivocally condemn this illegal war on Iran. It must not allow British bases to be used for this aggression. It must ban further sales of weapons to Israel and must rid the British parliament of lobbying influences that justify and promote war crimes and their perpetrators.
And at a time when the country as a whole is dealing with the cost of living crisis and the concerns with uncontrolled immigration (which is the direct result of wars in West Asia,) we call on the British government to direct its resources to badly needed services domestically including the NHS, schools, housing and local governments, instead of spending our taxes on an illegal and unwinnable war that destabilises the world and makes us all unsafe.
