Your country, Iraq, and our, Iran, are in a difficult situation in many ways. While each party is addressing the problems and crisis in their respected countries, but the joint and multifaceted struggle of your party and us, as the forces of the left, in responding to the theoretical issues of the left on one hand, and the joint confrontation with regional issues, exchange of ideas, finding common grounds and cooperation in this regard, on the other hand, is of great significance and they can play an important role in our confrontation with future political trends.

The problem of water shortage will not be resolved by orders from the top and unprofessional work. The need to resolve this problem is freedom of environmental experts, use of capable specialists and managers, formation of specialized committees for comprehensive national and local planning and the freedom of environmental institutions, abandonment of the security view over the location of strategic and water-based industries and its establishment in the central provinces instead of the coastal provinces and the promotion of sustainable development with a systemic view of development. The performance of the Islamic Republic after forty some years has proven that the regime is alien to such plans.

The all-encompassing slogans of November 2019 targeted the center of the power of the Islamic Republic, the Velayat-e-Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) apparatus, and the Supreme Leader Khamenei himself, and shook the pillars of the Islamic Republic's power.

With so many anti-women laws, it’s not surprising that there are lots of feminist movements in Iran. In fact, the women struggle for achieving their basic rights is the only movement in Iran which started a day after the anti-monarchy revolution of 1979 and it has continued to today, strong and with roots in every single household in Iran.

Statement on Tensions on the border with the Republic of Azerbaijan

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian) considers the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic as the main obstacle to establishing normal relations with the world and the cause of intensifying the country's all-out crises, including the deterioration of the economic situation and believes that the way out of these sufferings is for the government to retreat from these policies and return to the Vienna negotiating table.

A very important demand by the protest movement, and also by Iraqi Communists, was that the perpetrators of the killings of more than 700 peaceful young protesters during the October Uprising must be brought to justice. But the transitional government of Mustafa al-Kadhemi, installed in June 2020 after the overthrow of his predecessor Adel Abdul-Mahdi by the protest movement, has failed to deliver on its promises.

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian) believes that our country's policy towards the South Caucasus should be a policy of friendship with its neighbors. Our country’s policy must be refraining from any excess and at the same time standing up for national interests and overseeing constructive relations with each of these countries, including Azerbaijan and Armenia, until the level of formation of a regional union is reached. This approach should also be part of our overall foreign policy towards the world and the region. Our country needs to establish relations with all the countries of the world, and it can also benefit from this union by appearing as a creative element of a regional union in the Middle East, relying on its enormous potential.

Protest, one day before the start

The induction of the Raisi’s cabinet headed by one of the main executors and decision-makers of the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1988, who has been part of the criminal judiciary system that has issued death sentences for the past forty-three years, is an insult to the rueful people of our country and a criminal act in itself. At the same time, the Raisi’s cabinet, with all the expenses incurred by Khamenei and his entourage, is a complete reflection of the frustration of the entire regime and, above all, of Khamenei's own failure. This cabinet, like its architect, Ali Khamenei, believes that the country can be run with frothy slogans.

To date, tens of Kurdish political activists have been assassinated in the Iraqi Kurdistan or in Turkey by the Islamic regime agents. The latest case was the murder of Musa Babakhani, a member of the Central Committee of the Kurdistan Democratic Party-Iran (KDP-I), in the Iraqi Kurdish city of Erbil.

This incident, however, is not only against democracy and sustainable development in Afghanistan, but also against the peace, security, progress, and development of all the people of this region of the world. The establishment of the Taliban in state power will make Afghanistan more and more a base for the growth of terrorism and fundamentalism. Terrorism, which will lead to all kinds of tensions and hostilities, which are source of antagonism and wars, and these are also grounds for trading the weapon of death for the benefit of its producers.

. Based on experience, not many deny the existence of the Taliban as a reality of the Afghan society. The debate is essentially about the dominance and the rule of those who, in terms of attitudes and beliefs, are the same Taliban as before. Any optimism about the reformability of the Taliban as a whole would be a dangerous assessment and a deadly political mistake.

Now the voice of the protests of the plaintiff forces, which was loud from the very first days, has soared that the news of this massacre has reached the ears of the Iranian people in the most remote parts of the country. Undeniably, this voice of justice will resonate over time, and the siege of murderers and criminals will become narrower day by day, and it will not be long before we see the trial of the perpetrators of the massacre of 1988. Abroad, terrorist agents of the Islamic Republic have been brought to justice for years.

Corona's massacre in Iran
 The beginning of the trial of a long-standing crime

While condemning this criminal act, we point out that it only occurred as a result of the government’s continued failure to protect citizens in general and our party’s office in particular. It is well-known that the Communist Party believes in the state and the rule of law and does not have a militia to protect itself and terrorize the people

In the current situation where citizens of this country intend to immigrate to Iran for any reason, it is a human and patriotic duty that we, Iranians, help our Afghan brothers and sisters. At such times, our compatriots are expected to recognize the suffering of Afghan refugees and to open their arms to the struggling and toiling people of our neighboring country.

We deeply regret the situation in our neighboring country, Afghanistan. We blame the effective powers in the region and the world in shaping this tragedy for the people of Afghanistan and express our concern over the return of Talibanism to our neighboring country and the deepening of the crisis in Afghanistan, which is a great disaster for its people and peace and stability in the region.

The Swedish court is, in a sense, the beginning of the trial of the leaders of the Islamic Republic who ordered the killings and assassinations. And it is a warning to all murderers to know that the world has become too small to escape justice.

Appreciating the dedication and sense of responsibility of the country's healthcare staff, we emphasize the need to expedite the preparation of public vaccinations by providing vaccines from all sources approved by the World Health Organization (WHO). In the current situation, the public demand is to vaccinate, and the Islamic Republic has so far irresponsibly ignored this demand that is tied to the lives and deaths of the Iranian people.

At a time when the world economy is rapidly becoming "digital" in various fields, any country that deprives itself of this potentiality will practically lag behind in development and will prevent its people from achieving prosperity. Statistics show that about 70% of people in our country use the "Internet" and are active in cyberspace.

As the status quo continues, the risks to territorial integrity, national interests, and social stability increase. To get out of the current situation, the growth of protest movements and uprisings, solidarity, and connection between them are essential. The strengthening of protest movements and uprisings and the unification of elites and political groups that believe in the transition from the Islamic Republic of Iran to a secular democratic republic can pave the way for political developments for transitioning from the system.

According to reports, during the arrest, interrogation and investigation of Assadollah Asadi's case, which led to the conviction of four defendants in this case, Other names of security collaborators and spies of the Islamic Republic who are seeking information from Iranian opposition organizations and parties have been propounded.

There is no need here to emphasize that our boycott of the elections in light of the current suffocating crises is not directed against the electoral process as a democratic practice. It is, for us, one of the means of peaceful action for change, which calls for combining all forms of popular, political, intellectual and economic struggle. It is also linked, as a form of struggle, to our clear goal of change aimed at establishing a democratic civil state based on social justice.

Do not listen to the orders of the military and law enforcement leaders of this tyrannical regime, who are complicit in the theft, looting and corruption of the regime. The Islamic Republic will be history sooner or later. Do not stand against the people. If you will, there is a way for you to disobey the commands.

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian) considers the water shortage and frequent power outages crisis in the country, especially in Khuzestan, to be the result of the regime's destructive management and recklessness and supports the protests of the people of Khuzestan against water shortage, poverty, and the misery of the province. Based on a lot of data, the most preparation that the regime has taken in response to the multifaceted critical situation in Khuzestan in recent years is to strengthen the repressive security force in this province, especially in its Arab regions.

Relying on the conciliation of some governments, the Islamic Republic has so far been able to assassinate or kidnap hundreds of its opponents abroad. During these years, the government kidnapped citizens of other countries and took them hostage in order to create an atmosphere of terror among its opponents and to keep the morale of its mercenaries high.

It is a fact that the current political developments in Afghanistan show a worrying and bleak outlook and a variety of dangers from escalation of civil war and even further political instability to bloody ethnic conflicts, rise of religious and tribal reactionary elements, and recapture of civil and political gains from the Afghan society are imminent

This big move, although it has a demand and trade union aspect, but due to the heavy weight of this industry in the country's economy and the level of awareness in this part of the Iranian workers, whatever the outcome, it will seal its mark on the political developments in the fight against the Islamic Republic and attaining freedom and justice.

The strong presence of Republican forces in boycotting the 13th presidential election was a turning point in the growth of secular-democrat republicanism in the Iranian political sphere. We, the three secular-democrat organizations and parties, while appreciating the concerted action of the majority of Iranians and republican activists who exercised their political responsibility in boycotting this election, see this as an opportunity to increase republican convergence and emphasize the need for increased cooperation.

Another significance of this strike is that it is coincided with the appointment of someone who intends to make a series of new changes against workers' rights at the request of the Chamber of Commerce. Changes that will worsen both the working and living conditions of workers.

Solving the country's problems, ending poverty, unemployment, discrimination, structural corruption, and establishing effective governance are not possible except through such a struggle. The will that in the first step challenged and successfully opposed the regime's plans to ensnare the country is commendable. This resistance must continue by empowering society, strengthening demand movements, and paving the way for the transition from a system that has made such a criminal its preferred figure and empowered him.
