As the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran continues, prominent politicians, political activists, and independent media outlets from Britain, the United States, and Italy have issued sharp condemnations. They have described the aggression as unjustified, immoral, illegal, and a clear violation of international law, while highlighting the deliberate targeting of civilians — especially schoolchildren — as war crimes. The statements express firm solidarity with Iran and assert that the Iranian people’s resistance serves the broader interests of humanity.
1. Former British MP: War Against Iran Is “Wholly Unjustified, Utterly Immoral and Completely Illegal”
Chris Williamson, a British politician and former Member of Parliament, has strongly denounced the war being waged against Iran by Israel and the United States.
Williamson described the conflict as “wholly unjustified, utterly immoral and completely illegal.” He stated that the interests of civilized people all over the world now rest with Iran defeating the “Israel/US axis of evil.”
2. American Political Activist: Iran Is Not a Terrorist Country — Its Enemies Are
Paul Larudee, an American political activist, has firmly rejected attempts to label Iran as a terrorist state, arguing the opposite is true.
Larudee stated that any “Iranian terrorists” are in fact working for the enemies of Iran, such as those who attempted to overthrow the government in June 2025 and January 2026. He identified the greatest terrorists as “the genocidal Zionist state,” followed closely by the United States and its puppet allies.
He pointed out that while Iran responds only to aggression and limits its actions to military and strategic targets, Israel and the US have carried out assassinations of public figures and massacres of innocent children in schools and other civilian areas. “Iran is not a terrorist country,” Larudee concluded. “Its enemies are.”
3. Italian Newsletter Strongly Condemns Massacre at Minab School
The editorial staff of Giubbe Rosse News, an Italian newsletter, has issued a firm and unequivocal condemnation of the United States’ attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran, calling it a blatant violation of international law and humanitarian law.
With outrage and profound indignation, the outlet condemned the military strikes that caused hundreds of innocent civilian casualties. It particularly denounced the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab during school hours, which killed or seriously injured dozens — if not hundreds — of girls aged 7 to 12, along with teachers and staff.
The newsletter described the attack on an educational institution full of minors, far from any legitimate military target, as a very serious violation of the Geneva Conventions, especially the principle of distinction and the prohibition of indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks on civilians.
Giubbe Rosse expressed deepest condolences to the Iranian people, the devastated families, and the entire nation. It offered a special thought to the young students of Minab whose lives were cut short while simply trying to study and build a future. The outlet called the innocent deaths “an indelible wound for all of humanity” and a dramatic warning about the barbarity of war and unilateral armed action.
It demanded the immediate cessation of hostilities, absolute respect for international law, and an end to any military action targeting civilians, educational, or health infrastructure. The newsletter stressed that the international community cannot remain silent and that the defense of peace, sovereignty, and the protection of children must prevail.
To the families of the victims in Minab, it said: “Your pain is also ours.”
