SEMA Coalition Condemns US Attack on Iran
#Iran
The Southeast Massachusetts Coalition for a Free Palestine condemns the unprovoked U.S. attacks on Iran carried out on June 22, 2025. These criminal bombings plainly violate both the UN Charter and U.S. domestic law.
We reject the blatant lies offered as pretext by the Trump regime. Trump’s own intelligence agencies assessed that Iran was three to eight months away from producing enough weapons-grade uranium for a bomb — and even then, the actual assembly of a nuclear weapon would take months to a year, leaving ample time for diplomacy.
As mainstream media coverage typically fails to mention, under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran agreed to gut its peaceful nuclear program and submit to an intrusive inspections regime in exchange for sanctions relief — relief that was never fully delivered. Trump unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in 2018, and Iran has been punished ever since for complying. Media narratives now focus on how “effective” the strikes were, while ignoring their blatant criminality.
Even if Iran possessed a nuclear weapon, this would not justify military aggression. The U.S. itself holds an arsenal capable of annihilating the planet many times over — yet no foreign power has attacked its nuclear infrastructure.
Israel — “the American protectorate,” in the words of Trump adviser Steve Bannon — holds an estimated 90 nuclear warheads, operates outside the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and has shown utter contempt for international law. Over the past 20 months, Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, leveling hospitals, schools, and entire cities with U.S.-made weapons. Yet the political establishment — both Democratic and Republican — fulminates over Iranian support for terrorism, while Israel carries out the most industrialized and relentless campaign of terror the 21st century has yet seen. It is a grotesque inversion of reality to claim that Iran is the threat to peace.
We denounce U.S. support for Zionist wars of conquest and extermination across the region. We demand:
A complete and immediate arms embargo on Israel
International prosecution of Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes
Investigations of both Trump and Biden for complicity in war crimes
Free Palestine! End imperialist war!
