RMT Press Office:
General Secretary Eddie Dempsey said: “The illegal and unjustified bombing of Iran is a disaster for civilians in the region.
“Progress was being made in nuclear talks and a peaceful solution was clearly within reach.
“However, this attack which has already seen scores of Iranian civilians killed and retaliatory strikes by Iran now inches the world closer to a potential global war between superpowers.
“It is incumbent on the British government to not in any way support this US-led military aggression or to put our armed forces and civilian support staff in harm’s way.
“Disputes between nation states must be settled by diplomacy and peaceful dialogue through lawful international institutions not warmongering and assassinating other countries’ leaders.”
