The Zionists have crossed the red line. On June 13, Israeli Zionists targeted Iran’s nuclear facility in Natanz as their primary strike objective. They assassinated numerous military leaders and key nuclear scientists and massacred civilians, including children. The following day, they bombed the South Pars gas field—the largest in the world—targeting Iran’s vital energy sector. The Israeli operation, codename “Rising Lion”, appears to signal plans for further acts of aggression. Under the orchestration and support of imperialist powers, the war hysteria of the Israeli Zionists has reached its peak.
As of June 11, 2025, Zionist war criminals have massacred approximately 55,100 Palestinians since the onset of the Palestine war in October 2023. In September 2024, they focused their attacks on Hezbollah, and in December, they overthrew the anti-American regime in Syria. Israel has also continued to provoke tensions with Iran, which including a major terrorist attack during the January 2024 memorial rally for Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), the bombing of the Iranian consulate in Syria in April, and the assassination of Hamas Political Chief Ismail Haniyeh in July. There are no questions who are trying to initiate and expand the war in West Asia (the Middle East).
Iran has made it unequivocally clear that it will refrain from retaliation if Israel halts its attacks. This strategic restraint is a calculated effort to avoid entanglement in Israel’s war provocations while simultaneously keeping diplomatic negotiations alive. In West Asia, as Israel intensifies its war drive, Iran remains committed to preventing conflict. Only the media controlled by imperialist forces, which are behind the Zionists, distort the truth by reversing black and white.
The Israeli Zionists are not only the perpetrators of the Palestinian issue but also the main culprits behind the war in Western Asia. As long as Zionism in Israel is not dismantled, the liberation of Palestine and peace in Western Asia will remain impossible.
The storm of World War 3, unleashed by imperialism, is now blowing from Eastern Europe, through West Asia (the Middle East), toward East Asia. NATO’s eastward expansion policy has reached beyond the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf, and the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. The “Pacificization of NATO” was completed through its political preparations at the NATO summit in Washington in July 2024, and its military preparations were finalized through joint military exercises, such as RIMPAC, from June to August. Following this, imperialism escalated the provocation of localized conflicts on a global scale, such as the invasion of Kursk in Russia, concentrated attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, and drone attacks on the DPRK. It is no coincidence that the lifting of long-range missile restrictions against Russia, the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, and the attempted military coup in the “ROK (Republic of Korea)” occurred one after another.
We demand the immediate cessation of all US imperialist and Zionist war maneuvers. The Israeli Zionists must stop the bombings and killings in Gaza and Lebanon and leave the region immediately. Imperialism, particularly that of the US, is using Israeli Zionists as a war machine to expand the war in West Asia and is attempting to provoke a war in East Asia, which could escalate into World War 3. This campaign must be halted immediately.
The united and awakened people around the world will defeat the war machine of imperialism and Zionism, and usher in a new world of peace, sovereignty, and people’s democracy.
Smash the imperialist war drive!
Down with imperialism!
Liberate Palestine!
Victory for the anti-imperialist struggle!
