A new war has begun in the Middle East between Iran and Israel. The former is an extremely authoritarian theocratic state that does not hesitate to bloodily repress the slightest social and political protest. It has always had regional pan-Islamist aims, financing and arming, among others, groups such as the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The latter is an increasingly racist, expansionist, and genocidal state that has not hesitated to massacre more than 55,000 Palestinians, including 15,000 children, in recent months under the pretext of fighting an Islamist organization and its atrocious attacks on October 7, 2023: Hamas. These two states have now entered into direct conflict through airstrikes. In less than 48 hours of war, in addition to the destruction typical of all wars, numerous civilian casualties have been recorded on both sides. As in Gaza, children are not spared. Several have already been killed in Iran, including a two-month-old baby, Rayan Ghassemian, following an Israeli bombardment in a Tehran neighborhood.
The reasons given by both states for going to war are false.
The Iranian state lies when it claims to be a defender of Palestinian rights.
The Israeli state lies when it claims to be in an existential crisis in order to destroy Iran's nuclear program.
Both want to destroy each other for the sake of regional domination and geopolitical and economic interests. Their war is even more dangerous than any other "conventional" war because the leaders of both states rely on religious texts to justify their goals.
The 83rd Congress of the Anarchist Federation, held on June 7, 8, and 9, 2025, in Chirols (07), adopted a motion stating: "Everything contributes to terrorizing populations in order to subjugate and train them, often using religion and always patriarchy, in the service of capitalism and the powerful."
Although this motion predates the outbreak of this new war, its accuracy has sadly been proven.
The Anarchist Federation is against all wars. This one must end immediately.
The Anarchist Federation calls on all forces for peace and against all wars to form grassroots resistance, especially in Iran and Israel, against the inhumane methods of the deadly Iranian and Israeli states before they more or less achieve their goal of creating scorched earth here and there.
Let us stand in solidarity against war and militarism!
Let us stand in international solidarity for life!

Chirols is in France. It's a both-sidesing-the-Israeli-Attack-on-Iran statement from France.
