The World Peace Council (WPC) expresses its deepest concern and worries about the war
preparations of the USA and its allies in the Middle East and in particular against Iran. The high
concentration of military power of the USA, amongst others, with two aircaft carriers and the
deployment of troops in neighbour countries, the encirclement of Iran by dozens of US, UK and NATO
military bases and the respective war rhetoric are more than a sign for a planned attack on Iran.

The talks and negotiations being held these days in Geneva are being used by the USA to win
time and exercise further pressure on Iran for the geopolitical interests of the USA, namely the rich oil
reserves and transport routes in the region.

US Imperialism has never hidden its ambitions and plans for the Middle East. Having Israel as
strategic ally who continues the genocidal crimes against the people of Palestine in the forefront of the
planned aggression and after the overthrow of the Syrian government and the handover of the power
to their willing religious fundamentalist collaborators, the next target is Iran.

There are several indications and information which show a clear and open preparation for a
war against Iran. The pretexts are the same since always. Despite the complete absence of any proof
and evidence for Iran having Nuclear Weapons, the imperialists are building their narrative over their
controlled international media that the country is preparing to have such weapons. The last year’s
attack (2025) of the USA against Iran was just the step for today’s war plans.

The WPC calls openly upon all peace-loving forces and peoples in the world to stay on highest
alert, to plan and hold protests and rallies in every corner of the world in order to denounce the war
plans of US Imperialism and its allies against Iran. Such a planned aggression would set on fire the
whole region, the consequences would be unforeseeable with regional and even global dimensions.

The WPC expresses its solidarity with the people of Iran, against any foreign interference in their
affairs, for their right to determine alone and freely their fortunes.

No War on Iran! US Imperialism out of the Middle East!
