In Opposition to the Ongoing US-Israeli War on Iran
On February 28, the US and Israeli militaries launched an unprovoked war on Iran. The ongoing US-Israeli attacks, as well as Iranian counter-attacks, threaten the lives of countless people throughout the Middle East. One Israeli attack has already killed at least 148 people, including students, at an all-girls elementary school in Iran, as reported by Al Jazeera.
US and Israeli airstrikes also targeted Iran’s state broadcaster, which was previously knowingly targeted by Israel, according to Al Jazeera. These attacks come amidst the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces have killed more journalists than in any other conflict worldwide, per the Committee to Project Journalists.
The Industrial Workers of the World Freelance Journalists Union denounces the US-Israeli war on Iran and calls on our members, media workers more broadly and workers in all other industries to oppose it in our workplaces, in the streets and in the halls of power.
