Dimitris Koutsoumpas, the General Secretary of the Greek Communist Party (KKE), has strongly criticized what he describes as a 'new gangster-style imperialist intervention by Americans and Israelis against Iran' in response to recent developments in the region. He warns that such military actions not only exacerbate the ongoing conflict in the Middle East but could also ignites war on a global scale. Koutsoumpas highlights the grave consequences of such interventions for the region and beyond.

He emphasizes that the Greek government, which maintains strategic alliances with Israel and the United States, bears significant responsibility for the escalating tensions in the region. Koutsoumpas notes that Greece's involvement, characterized by a proliferation of American military bases within the country, exposes the nation and its citizens to potential retaliatory strikes resulting from this geopolitical conflict. He cites specific locations, including Souda Bay in Crete and other U.S. and NATO bases, as potential targets in retaliation against U.S. actions in the Middle East.

Concluding his statement, Koutsoumpas urgently calls for Greece to withdraw from any participation in the war, advocating for an end to military alliances with leaders he denounces as criminals, like Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. His remarks reflect a larger critique of Greece's foreign policy in relation to superpower dynamics and a plea for prioritizing peace and security over complicity in foreign wars.
