OKCIR strongly condemns, like the majority of Iranian people, the world, and the Muslim nations of the region, the self-admittedly surprising and unprovoked military aggression by Israel on Iran on June 13, 2025, and the violation of Iran's UN Chartered sovereignty by Israel and its supportive US and Western allies. Iran has a legitimate UN-Chartered right to self-defense against aggression by outside forces.

The root of the crisis in the Middle East lies in the continued decades-long occupation of Palestine by Israel and the violation of her right to self-determination. It has now led to the utter destruction of GAZA by Israel's genocidal aggression against its population.

The Middle East crisis and the Palestine-Israel conflict predate the advent of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, and its chain of causes can be readily traced to the US and Western policy of colonial occupation of Palestine by way and in the interest of Israel. Such chains of causes can be best explored and understood in an environment respecting free speech and dissent, especially in universities and schools of learning. The solution to the crisis ultimately depends on solving the Palestinian question in favor of its legitimate right to self-determination.

For further reflections on the crisis in Iranian, regional, and world-historical contexts, please read the selected previously published readings from OKCIR on the subject of imperiality and colonialism whose links are offered at the top of OKCIR's homepage.
