Left parties on Friday (June 13, 2025) urged the Union authorities to condemn Israel’s air strike on Iran and urge Tel Aviv to stop its navy operations instantly, saying that it may seemingly spark a broader regional battle and plunge West Asia into deeper instability.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) in an announcement right here, stated, this act as soon as once more demonstrates that Israel is behaving like a “rogue state” launching assaults on international locations in West Asia at will and violating worldwide legal guidelines and conventions.

The social gathering stated the Israeli strikes have resulted within the deaths of senior nuclear scientists, military generals, and quite a few civilians in Iran. “The objective appears to be the assertion of Israel’s hegemony over the entire West Asian region…” the CPI(M) alleged. While Israel itself possesses nuclear weapons it’s searching for to forestall different international locations within the area from growing nuclear know-how, even for peaceable functions.

“This attack, occurring amidst ongoing negotiations with Iran on nuclear issues, is likely to spark a broader regional conflict and plunge West Asia into deeper instability. For the past 20 months, Israel has been carrying out a genocidal war against Palestine. Now, with this attack on Iran, it is clear that Israel seeks to eliminate any potential challenge to its dominance in the region,” the social gathering stated.

The Communist Party of India referred to as it an act of “unprovoked act of aggression”. “The Indian government must break its silence and condemn this attack unequivocally, aligning with our long-standing foreign policy based on non-alignment, peace, and respect for sovereignty,” it stated.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation additionally strongly condemned the Israeli aggression. The social gathering stated that India should “break its silence and take all possible steps to stop Israel”, including, “Silence and inaction will amount to complicity and India must not be bracketed with the U.S.-Israel axis in its escalating crimes against humanity.” The All India Forward Bloc stated the assault threatens world peace and stability.
