There are more than 1,200 deaths in Iran from US and Israeli attacks since Saturday, February 28
Filipino activists trooped to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Manila on Thursday to express sympathies and solidarity for the more than a thousand killed by the ongoing US and Israel attack against the country.
Leaders of Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN), Kilusang Mayo Uno, Sandugo Movement of Moro and Indigenous Peoples, League of Filipino Students, and the International League of Peoples’ Struggle-Philippines signed the Cook of Condolences at the Embassy.
Iran lost its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenie as well as 168 students of a girls’ school in the first few hours of the war last February 28.
US President Donald Trump also bragged that Iran’s majority of Iran’s top leadership was killed by missile attacks in the last seven days of the attacks.
BAYAN said the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela facilitated the visit.
Progressive organizations have blamed the United States and Israel for instigating an unprovoked war against Iran amid negotiations between Washington and Tehran against the latter’s alleged nuclear arms program. # (Raymund B.Villanueva)
