Workers World Party, based in the United States, extends to the people of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the people of the whole world our revolutionary solidarity and heartfelt condolences on the treacherous assassination of the great Iranian leader of the Islamic Revolution Sayyed Ali Khamenei and his comrades, military and political leaders and family members by the U.S. and Israel.
This unprovoked assassination, along with widespread sneak attack bombing of schools and civilian centers, in the midst of U.S.-demanded negotiations, is sheer terrorism by U.S. imperialism and its criminal zionist ally, Israel.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a world-renowned religious and political leader who represented Iran’s steadfast resistance to U.S. imperialism, determined support for Palestinian people and the right of resistance of all oppressed and struggling peoples.
Workers World Party remains confident that the unified people of Iran will prevail in their decades long struggle for sovereignty and self-determination. We remain confident in the growing worldwide resistance to U.S. imperialism in the Global North and the Global South. Each crime of U.S. imperialism strengthens our collective unity and resolve.
