The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

On the MoU between the US and Iran

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) notes with
optimism the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Iran and the
United States of America (USA). This is expected to bring much-needed relief
to people across the globe, who have been severely affected by the
unwarranted US-Israel aggression against Iran.

 

The MoU states that both parties will respect the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the countries and enforce a ceasefire until the
final agreement is signed. The US will remove its blockade on Iranian ships
transiting from the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran will allow the passage of
ships through the Strait. This will ease the pressure on the availability of
energy and fertilisers.

 

Oil prices in the energy markets have already seen a decline, and the
Government of India should take immediate steps to reduce the increased
prices of gas, petrol, and diesel. The government should also take urgent
measures to ensure the availability of fertilisers, particularly urea, to
our farmers.

 

The MoU demonstrates the limits of imperialist aggression. The people of
Iran have not succumbed to imperialist machinations but have resisted the
US-Israel attacks. The US was forced to lift sanctions on Iran and agree to
unfreeze the seized Iranian assets. It has also agreed to pay reparation for
the damages .The Government of Iran should utilise these resources to
address the immediate economic problems of its people and bring succour to
their lives.

 

The US was compelled to sign this MoU due to growing popular anger against
its aggression on Iran. People from the US and various other countries
joined these protests, which prompted the governments of their respective
countries to demand an immediate end to the US aggression.

 

Israel should heed popular sentiment, desist from attacking Lebanon and
adhere to the UN Charter. The Government of India should realise, at least
now, that global public sentiment is against the US and Israel and should
desist from aligning with them.
