“Developments speak for themselves and shatter the complacency you have fostered for so long, while confirming the persistent warnings of the KKE”, said Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), at the start of his speech in Parliament on 4 March. Addressing the Prime Minister, he refuted the propaganda that “as long as US forces are here, no one will bother us”, at a time when US bases across the region are coming under attack.

"The United States and its partner Israel, through the attacks they have been carrying out against Iran for days, have now taken steps to draw our country into the war they initiated.
The recent alert in Cyprus following threats of Iranian drone and retaliatory missile strikes once again exposes a dangerous reality that governments in Athens and Nicosia persistently attempt to obscure: the presence of U.S., NATO and British military bases turns both Greece and Cyprus into potential targets in an expanding imperialist war.
For days now, the wider region has been moving ever closer to the possibility of a generalized confrontation in the Middle East. The escalation triggered by the aggressive policies of the United States and Israel against Iran has already created a climate of extreme tension across the entire Eastern Mediterranean.
The recent attack on the British bases on our island confirms the dangers that their presence poses to Cyprus and our people. We call on the government to convey to the British government that Cyprus and its people oppose any kind of military involvement of the bases in any conflicts in the region.
Cyprus is dangerously being turned into a target for retaliation through the British bases. The drone attack on the NATO base in Akrotiri, combined with the official authorization granted by Britain to the United States shortly beforehand for the use of the British bases in operations against Iran, dramatically confirm the dangers created by deeper involvement.
"Dear compatriots,
Following the aggressive attacks by Netanyahu’s criminal regime and U.S. imperialism on Iranian soil, Ali Khamenei—the regime’s Supreme Leader and a dictator who over the past thirty-seven years, through destructive policies and the reactionary ideology of “political Islam,” drove the country to the brink of war and destruction—along with a number of his family members and close associates, as well as some commanders of the Revolutionary Guard and repressors of the people, have been killed.
"Dear Compatriots!
Early this morning, our country was attacked by extensive missile and air strikes by the racist Israeli government and the United States. This blatant aggression against Iranian territory occurs while the Iranian and US government officials, with the mediation of regional countries, have been engaged in negotiations over the past few weeks to resolve disputes over Iran’s nuclear program.
“The new military attack by the state of Israel and the United States against Iran is a condemnable and criminal act that brings closer the prospect of a generalized war in the Middle East and the broader region.
"On the morning of Sunday, February 22, a Mexican state operation was launched in Tapalpa, Jalisco, culminating in the arrest and killing of Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), along with other capos and gunmen.
Response to the slanderous attack by the Russian CWP and the CP of the Russian Federation, which misrepresents the positions of the KKE
The KKE emerged stronger from its 22nd Congress, which was prepared through a lengthy and substantive pre-congress process centred on the Theses of the Central Committee. These were approved by an overwhelming majority of Party members, a fact that highlights the ideological and political unity of the KKE.
For decades, Noam Chomsky has occupied a peculiar and paradoxical position within global political discourse. He is celebrated as a fearless critic of U.S. imperialism, a dissident voice against war, propaganda, and corporate power. Generations of students encountered radical politics for the first time through his lectures and books.
Yet at the very heart of his political worldview lies a contradiction so profound that it cannot be explained away as error, nuance, or misunderstanding. It is a contradiction that reveals the real limits of his politics: a systematic, principled hostility to Marxism-Leninism, to socialist state power, and to every historical attempt by the working class to actually seize and hold power.
To all humanity, to mothers of the world, to Doctors Without Borders, to journalists with self-respect, to governments that still want justice: I condemn the crime they don’t want to see.
My name is like millions of others – no famous last name, no important position. I am an ordinary Cuban woman – a daughter, a sister, a patriot. I write this with a broken heart and trembling hands. What my people go through today is not a crisis. It is slow, calculated murder, coldly executed from Washington. And the world looks the other way.

To the leadership of the KKE
Dear comrades,
tatement of the Tudeh Party of Iran: The Specter of Another Catastrophic War, the Intensifying Repression of Popular Protests, and the Responsibilities Before UsIran and the broader Middle East once again stand on the brink of ominous and dangerous developments. What now darkens the horizon of the near future is the real possibility of a catastrophic military confrontation that could be initiated by U.S. imperialism and the criminal government of Netanyahu.
The KKE condemns the threats and war preparations of US imperialism and the state of Israel for a new attack against Iran, as demonstrated by the build-up of massive firepower in the Persian Gulf. The region is at the centre of the storm of imperialist competition and could at any moment be engulfed in the flames of imperialist war.
There was a time when capitalism could plausibly present itself as progress.
In the era of the great bourgeois revolutions—of the French Revolution and the American Revolution—and throughout the upheavals of 1848, the rising bourgeoisie shattered feudal bonds, dissolved hereditary privilege, and dismantled archaic hierarchies that had long obstructed productive development. Against feudal particularism and static social relations, capitalism was historically revolutionary. It unified national markets, accelerated scientific discovery, expanded industry, and proclaimed equality before the law—however limited and formal that equality ultimately proved to be.
There are moments in the history of capitalist decay when the contradictions of imperialism reveal themselves in stark, unavoidable clarity. Today, as the U.S. military budget surges toward the trillion-dollar threshold in fiscal year 2026, we witness precisely such a revelation: a parasitic apparatus that devours the surplus value produced by the working class, redirecting it toward endless wars of plunder and domination while the masses at home endure poverty, homelessness, and crumbling social infrastructure.
"The arrest of the brother of the UK’s unelected head of state (and eighth in line of succession), and his interview under criminal caution on allegations of misconduct in public office is the most dramatic sign of the deepening crisis in the British state.
