Tudeh Party of Iran Condemns Israeli Military Aggression Against Lebanon

The large-scale military attack of Israel military forces on Lebanon since
July 12th has created a severe turmoil in the Middle East and has heightened
the possibility of spreading the war to other countries in the region.

In a scenario similar to its attack on the Gaza strip, and apparently to
respond to the Lebanon Hezbollah forces attack on a border control station
and capturing of two Israeli soldiers, Israel launched a wide-ranged air and
sea strike against Lebanon. The news of the recent days clearly show that
the main target of these unjustifiable attacks, which are conducted under
silence and indirect endorsement of some international circles, is to
destroy the socio-economic infrastructure of Lebanon. Striking the runways
at Beirut's International airport, power plants, road and highways, bridges,
is conducted within the framework of a plan that the prime minister of
Israelcalled it "to return Lebanon to twenty years ago", when Lebanon was
burning in a civil war. As reported by the media, 97 percent of the victims
of the Israel's massive assaults on Lebanon have been civilians and mostly
women and children. Additionally, there are serious worrying indications
that these conflicts are going to continue andwill broaden. The news about
the western countries trying to evacuate their citizens from Lebanon,
including sending two British aircraft carriers to Lebanon coasts, indicate
the possibility of escalation and expansion of the current crisis.

Israeli government officials, in order to justify their aggressive assault,
which is a harsh violation of the UN charter and international laws, make
every effort to attribute the roots of these clashes to the Islamic Republic
of Iran and Syria. Recently, Israel claimed that the rockets used by
Hezbollah are made in Iran and/or Syria. Similarly, the position taken by
the leaders of the US and EU, and especially Blair administration, to blame
Iran and Syria rather than condemning inhumane raids of Israeli troops
against Lebanese civilians and the bombardment of Gaza strip, could not be
accidental.

Considering the current situation in the region and the continual terror and
military clashes in Iraq and Afghanistan, and escalation of propaganda war
between Iran and the US over Iran's nuclear energy policies, the progressive
and democratic political forces of Iran cannot remain indifferent to the
ongoing bloodshed in the Gaza strip and Lebanon and the risk of spreading
this clash to other countries of the region. Tudeh Party of Iran believes
that Israel's unjustified assault on Lebanon and re-occupation of Gaza strip
and destruction and massacre in these regions, will be used as a tool by
imperialism for it's further intervention in the region and has developed a
new round of violence and war in the Middle East that will prevent achieving
a peaceful resolution for this region's problems and crises. While declaring
our solidarity with people of Palestine and Lebanon and their progressive
forces, we seriously demand that solutions for the disputes and discords
between the countries of the region be based on dialogue and international
conventions.

Tudeh Party of Iran, along with all the peace-loving and progressive forces
of the world, condemns the Israeli aggressive assaults in the recent weeks
and demands an immediate stop to all strikes on Lebanon and Gaza strip.

We declare our opposition to any form of military solutions, or the ones
based on economic pressure, for the disputes and conflicts in the region.

We call upon the UN to provide the opportunities for finding the final
peaceful and fair solution to this ongoing crisis, based on the main
articles of its charter and numerous resolutions on the Middle East crisis
and Israel's obligations to fulfill its commitments before this global
assembly in the last two decades.

Central Committee of Tudeh Party of Iran
