Washington, 23 jun (Prensa Latina) El Partido para el Socialismo y la Liberación (PSL) advirtió que, con el ataque de Estados Unidos a Irán, el presidente Donald Trump destroza hoy las esperanzas de paz.

The U.S. political organization, founded in 2004, said in a statement that Trump's actions, based on lies, could plunge the Middle East and perhaps the world into an even more devastating conflict, “possibly triggering a regional and global war.”

Trump lied when he promised to keep the peace in the United States; he also lied when he said Iran was about to develop a nuclear weapon, contrary to the opinion of his own intelligence community, he noted.

The PSL recalled that, since the George W. Bush administration, the United States has invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, bombed Libya, Syria and Yemen, and made possible the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

It also criticized that, in his speech to the nation to announce the attack on Iran, President Trump thanked and congratulated “Prime Minister Bibi (Benjamin) Netanyahu”.

The statement asserted that indeed “the hypocrisy is striking” because “Israel is a nuclear weapons state, but refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the United States has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and is the only country to have used nuclear weapons in a war.”

The allegation that “Iran is developing nuclear weapons” is a poor imitation of George W. Bush's lie about Iraq's alleged “weapons of mass destruction,” which is equally false, he said. The American people do not want another endless war and will take to the streets to shout “No to war against Iran”, he concluded.

Just this Sunday there were demonstrations in New York's Times Square and in front of the White House, as a reflection of the discontent of many sectors of US society opposed to the escalation of the war.

Some reports indicate that the mobilization in the heart of Manhattan gathered around five thousand people who chanted “Hands off Iran!”, “No to the US-Israel war against Iran!” and “No to World War III!” and raised signs reading “Peace now, war never”, among other messages.

Similar slogans were heard in front of the core of U.S. power, where groups of protesters responded to the call of the peace organizations CodePink and ANSWER Coalition.

On Saturday afternoon, President Trump announced on Truth Social, “We have completed our successful strike against the three nuclear facilities in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.” Shortly afterwards before TV cameras he called the operation a “spectacular military success.”

Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian warned the day before that the attack ordered by Trump on nuclear facilities in his country proves that the United States is the main architect of the hostile actions of the Zionist regime of Israel against the Islamic Republic.
