Iran's communists condemn British Foreign Secretary for backing US drive to war with Iran

IRAN’S communist Tudeh Party has condemned a “dangerous” shift towards war by the British government.

The party’s international secretary Navid Shomali said today that a statement by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab yesterday had “repeated without qualification the declarations of the Saudi Arabian government and US administration in blaming Iran for the recent attacks on the Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia.”

According to the Saudi authorities 18 drones and seven cruise missiles were deployed in an attack on an oilfield and processing facility.
