For Immediate Release, approved by the leadership of the South Sound Green Party on February 28th, 2026. Media Inquiries? Please Contact Us.
The South Sound Green Party strongly condemns the joint U.S.-Israel military strikes on Iran launched on February 28, 2026, which have already resulted in over 200 deaths, including civilians such as 85 students killed in school strikes in Minab and Tehran, and hundreds more injured.
These attacks, codenamed "Roaring Lion" by Israel and "Operation Epic Fury" by the U.S., targeted sites in Tehran, Isfahan, and other cities without UN authorization or congressional approval, violating international law and the principles of national sovereignty and self-determination enshrined in the Green Party of the United State's (GPUS) platform.
These attacks escalate tensions, and make peace in the area near impossible to achieve without massive loss of human life. We call for an immediate cessation of attacks and an end to U.S-Isreali military cooperation.

We stand with the people led movements for self-determination around the globe including in Iran. Self-determination cannot be achieved through military intervention by colonial and imperialist nation states like the U.S. and Israel. We reject the flawed logic of "preemptive strikes" which only serve to escalate hostilities and entrench opposition.
These strikes have caused devastating loss of life, with Iran's Red Crescent reporting at least 201 dead and 747 injured in the initial hours, alongside confirmed killings of IRGC commanders and civilians in residential areas. Such aggression exacerbates suffering in the region, contradicting the GPUS commitment to non-violence and opposition to U.S. wars that prioritize empire over human lives.
Executed unilaterally by President Trump without democratic oversight, these preemptive strikes flout international law and the UN's role in maintaining peace, directly opposing long standing Green Party demands to close foreign bases, end U.S. imperialism, and promote diplomacy over military intervention. Our platform explicitly supports nations' rights to self-determination free from foreign interference.
The South Sound Green Party demands an immediate ceasefire, U.S. troop withdrawal, and a shift to multilateral diplomacy and humanitarian aid that must include reparations from the US, Israel, and their enablers. We support the people of Iran and Kurdistan in liberation from both local tyranny and global empire.
