Stop the war against Iran!

On the morning of June 22, 2025, the US Air Force bombed Iranian nuclear facilities with so-called stealth bombers. This is an expected, but nevertheless shocking, escalation of the war of aggression against Iran, which violates international law.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterrez expressed concern. Our thoughts and feelings are with the Iranian people.

We demand: Immediate ceasefire! No bombing of nuclear facilities!

It is now quite obvious that US imperialism is behind the Israeli army’s attack on Iran. Consequently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who has been issued an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity – was the first to publicly congratulate warlord Donald Trump and call the US army’s attack “courageous.”

What is so courageous about it? Bomb a country and its infrastructure with multiple military superiority – and factor in the deaths of tens of thousands or even more people?

Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria – all over the world, US imperialism has left its trail of blood with millions of deaths. Not to save the world and defend “Western freedom,” but in pursuit of its imperialist power interests.

Economically, it is in decline, but militarily, it is still number one, accounting for 37% of global defense spending.

The US also has a presence in Germany as part of the NATO alliance: Grafenwöhr Military Training Area, Ramstein Air Base. It is from here that the planning and control of the combat operations were carried out as drone operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen, as well as the drone attacks in Pakistan.

On the “sidelines of a NATO summit,” US President Biden and German Chancellor Scholz decided to station US medium-range missiles, without the participation of the German government and the Bundestag. Ten to twenty nuclear bombs (IPPNW) are stored in Büchel (Rhineland-Palatinate), which are currently being technically overhauled. These are practically magnets for a Russian attack in the event of an escalation. The US military and NATO do not mean “security” or “defense,” but rather war and profits!

“US troops out of Germany!

Germany out of NATO!”

End the bombing of Iran!
