Communists across the world condemn US decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal

COMMUNISTS across the world have condemned the US for the “dangerous consequences” of its decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and its “escalation of aggression” in the region.

More than 50 communist parties have signed a statement which was agreed at an international peace meeting in Athens last week. 

They gathered at the request of Iran’s Tudeh Party, which said US President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action had “significantly increased tension in the region and has raised the threat of a new devastating war in the Middle East.”
