WELSH communists have issued an open call to the Wales and Westminster governments to stop the Israeli attacks on Iran.

The letter called on the Welsh government, all political parties in the Senedd and all peace movement, trade union and political activists to commit to peace.

“We condemn as outrageous the Israeli military attack upon Iran when talks with the United States were ongoing and due to enter their sixth round," it said.

“While US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has distanced his country from the Israeli action, such an act could not be undertaken without its backing.

“We support the call to convene an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to de-escalate the current situation.

“We call on the Welsh and British governments to support such a call and condemn the unilateral action of the Israeli government.

“We call for trade unions, peace and human rights organisations to back talks to reach a peaceful conclusion."
