Statement on the vile assassination of the US Iranian high-ranking military commander General Kassem Suleiman
On behalf of the All-India Anti-Imperialist Forum, Mr. Manik Mukkerji, Vice President, issued the following statement on January 6, 2020, about the heinous act of killing an Iranian general.
The All-India Anti-Imperialist Forum strongly condemns President Donald Trump, who ordered the assassination of senior Iranian military commander Kassem Suleiman at Baghdad Airport. This is another disgusting act of US robbery in the Middle East. After Iraqi militias entered the area of the US embassy in Baghdad during the demonstration, President Trump, without any excuse, began to accuse Iran of organizing this event and announced that Iran would be punished for his actions. Earlier, the United States imposed draconian economic sanctions on Iran and has long threatened Iran with a military attack, because the latter refused to obey the American dictate. This is not the only case of US aggression against a sovereign country under a false pretext. We have already witnessed US attacks on Iraq and Libya and the assassinations of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi. The current heinous assassination of the Iranian military commander violates Iran's sovereignty and at the same time it is a serious threat to world peace. We urge all freedom-loving people of the world to rise in protest against US aggression and force the United States to stop its militant maneuvers in the Middle East.
Manik Mukkerji
