A new war has begun in the Middle East between Iran and Israel. The
former is an extremely authoritarian theocratic state that does nothesitate to bloodily repress the slightest social and political protest.
It has always had regional pan-Islamist aims, financing and arming,
among others, groups such as the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in
Lebanon. The latter is an increasingly racist, expansionist, and
genocidal state that has not hesitated to massacre more than 55,000
Palestinians, including 15,000 children, in recent months under the
pretext of fighting an Islamist organization and its atrocious attacks
on October 7, 2023: Hamas. These two states have now entered into direct
conflict through airstrikes. In less than 48 hours of war, in addition
to the destruction typical of all wars, numerous civilian casualties
have been recorded on both sides. As in Gaza, children are not spared.
Several have already been killed in Iran, including a two-month-old
baby, Rayan Ghassemian, following an Israeli bombardment in a Tehran
neighborhood.
The reasons given by both states for going to war are false.
The Iranian state lies when it claims to be a defender of Palestinian
rights.
The Israeli state lies when it claims to be in an existential crisis in
order to destroy Iran's nuclear program.
Both want to destroy each other for the sake of regional domination and
geopolitical and economic interests. Their war is even more dangerous
than any other "conventional" war because the leaders of both states
rely on religious texts to justify their goals.
The 83rd Congress of the Anarchist Federation, held on June 7, 8, and 9,
2025, in Chirols (07), adopted a motion stating: "Everything contributes
to terrorizing populations in order to subjugate and train them, often
using religion and always patriarchy, in the service of capitalism and
the powerful."
Although this motion predates the outbreak of this new war, its accuracy
has sadly been proven.
The Anarchist Federation is against all wars. This one must end immediately.
The Anarchist Federation calls on all forces for peace and against all
wars to form grassroots resistance, especially in Iran and Israel,
against the inhumane methods of the deadly Iranian and Israeli states
before they more or less achieve their goal of creating scorched earth
here and there.
Let us stand in solidarity against war and militarism!
Let us stand in international solidarity for life!
