The U.S. Peace Council strongly condemns the outrageous, criminal and illegal attack on the sovereign state of Iran by the United States administration of Donald P. Trump. This flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and the Nuremberg condemnation of wars of choice, should serve as a graphic demonstration that U.S. imperialism continues to operate beyond the boundaries of law, rejecting any accountability or constraints on its behavior.
The WPC condemns in the strongest way the air attacks of the US Air Force against Iranian nuclear sites under the pretext that Iran is preparing to obtain nuclear weapons. This attack does not only violate every sense of international law, it constitutes a blatant act of aggression and the application of the "law of the jungle".
Statement of the COSPAZ
On the recent developments in the Middle East
On the afternoon of April 13, the first Peace Concert of 2025 took place at the Constantino Nery Municipal Theater of Matosinhos. Organized by the CPPC with the support of the City of Matosinhos, the Concert featured interventions from various areas, provided by people of different ages. The opening and presentation was by Iolanda Oliveira, who read an excerpt from a Palestinian author.
The US Peace Council denounces the reckless escalation of the already dangerously volatile situation in the Middle East precipitated by Israel’s most recent bombing of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We uphold the right of Iran to self-determination and self-defense.
The WPC expresses its strong condemnation of the recent and ongoing air attacks of Israel against Iran. The Israeli regime which has its hands in blood with the ongoing genocidal war against the Palestinian people is now advancing its plans in the broader region. This would not be possible without the full support and endorsement by the USA and the European Union which we denounce vehemently.
Once more Israel proofs to be the aggressor of the Middle East and the caretaker of the Imperialist plans in the region.
On March 30, in Jardim do Infante, in Porto, hundreds of people responded to the appeal of the CPPC, CGTP-IN, MPPM and Projecto Ruído, which was joined by other organizations, namely USP, SPN, MDM, among others, in solidarity with the Palestinian people, who continue to be victims of the genocide carried out by Israel.
Also in Coimbra, on the same day, on the Santa Clara bridge, a banner painted on number 26 was displayed, demanding that peace be given a chance, and that the ceasefire be immediately observed. Palestine Will Win!
The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation strongly condemns the massacres that took place a few days ago in Syria by the so-called “security forces of the new government” – in reality by members of armed groups, such as Al-Qaeda or the Islamic State, which for more than a decade have terrorized the country and committed heinous crimes against its population.
Marking the 49th anniversary of the proclamation of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) on February 27, 1976, the Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) congratulates the Sahrawi people, as well as the Polisario Front, their legitimate representative, and reaffirms its solidarity with their struggle for respect and realization of their right to self-determination.
