âThe attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked, and unjustifiable,â said Jeremy Corbyn, an independent member of the British Parliament and former leader of the UK Labour Party. âPeace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war.â
âThis is the behavior of rogue statesâand they have jeopardized the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression,â Corbyn added. âOur government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty, and peace.â
Progressive International co-founder Yanis Varoufakis, the former finance minister of Greece, echoed Corbynâs criticism of the US and Israel as ârogue states.â
