The Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) strongly condemns the US-Israeli military aggression against Iran. The aggression has escalated with the US joining the Zionist Israeli war on Iran by striking nuclear sites across Iran.

The latest military aggression against Iran is unprovoked, illegal, and a clear violation of the UN Charter and international law. Since 13 June 2025, the ruthless and brutal military assault by the murderous Zionist regime of Israel, with the backing of the US, has already claimed the lives of more than 430 people, most of them civilians.

While continuously committing genocide against the Palestinian people, the Zionist regime of Israel launched an aggressive war under the pretext of dismantling Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Yet, Iran’s nuclear program is one of the most internationally scrutinized nuclear programs, and Iran is still a party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), while Israel never signed the NPT, never allowed any international nuclear inspection, and its possession of nuclear weapons is an open secret. The Zionist regime of Israel once again reveals its flagrant hypocrisy with the full backing of the imperialist US. In fact, the barbaric act of the US-backed Zionist regime of Israel has sabotaged the ongoing negotiation on Iran’s nuclear program and destroyed all the efforts to resolve this issue peacefully through diplomacy. 

The US-Israeli war on Iran serves nothing except to terrorize the people of Iran and weaken forces that could disrupt the Zionist expansionist regional domination and its genocide against the Palestinian people. The escalation of aggression against Iran is further destabilizing the region and jeopardizing global peace by inviting more deadly conflicts. 

Hence, we urge the governments around the world to stand united in pressuring the US and Israel to stop their barbaric war on Iran. All governments must take decisive action by severing diplomatic and economic ties with both the US and Israel. There must be a total arms embargo on Israel and a total international boycott of the US arms industries.

We also call on the government of Malaysia to recall our ambassador to the US and expel the US ambassador as the minimum form of protest against the US-Israeli war on Iran. As the chair of ASEAN 2025, Malaysia must gather the members of ASEAN to take decisive actions collectively to put pressure on the US to end the war on Iran and the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, as well as to preserve a just peace for humanity globally.
