LCP condemns the US military attack possibly escalating to a war

Our party considers that this attack is a continuation of USA policies that were adopted in Iraq and other regions and all of them rely on military options and thus threatens the lives of thousands of people.
This attack is to be added to the USA record in Iraq especially after the 2003 war that resulted in hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people being dead or injured. The peace, security, and progress of the Arab region will not be reached if the US hegemony remains the one that rules, and if it continues with its political, economic, and military interventions in our region. Therefore, no peace and security will be attained unless the peoples of the region unite their efforts to expel the USA army from all the territories and military bases it currently exists in. Parallel to that, our party considers that progress of our nations would be achieved once democratic, secular, and free of foreign interventions governments exist and this shall be the path toward a full-pledged national and social liberation process.
