Three people reported dead in Israel after Iranian strikes; Tehran says 78, mostly civilians, killed in Friday’s surprise Israeli attack and confirms new wave of retaliatory strikes on Israel
The "Free Life Party of [Iran-held part of] Kurdistan" (PJAK) on the Israel/Iran war:
─────
[…] This is a war of power and conflicting interests, not a war of liberation for peoples and nations. It erupted as a result of the Islamic Republic’s expansionist and warmongering policies, showing no regard for the suffering of the Iranian people. The rulers initiated this war, and the costs are being borne by a population already struggling with social and economic crises. The high number of civilian casualties, especially women and children, in Iran and Israel during these attacks highlights the grim reality that states hold little value for people's lives.
The people of Iran should not be forced to choose between war and accepting a dictatorial regime. The Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), which opposes the imposition of war on the people of Iran, emphasizes the principle of democratic struggle. It is the people’s democratic struggle and the unique "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Woman, Life, Freedom) revolution that will bring freedom to Iran. Achieving the goals of our democratic revolution undoubtedly requires unity and collaboration among freedom-seekers, democratic forces, national fighters, women, and identity movements.

Schimon, 63, in Tel Aviv on why Israel's war of aggression in Iran is worth it.
Snippet from a piece from Public Service radio of Sweden.
Counterpoint for balance: The Iran-theocracy declared after the attacks began that they hadn't been building nuclear bombs only civilian nuclear power, but that now because Israel attacked they must build nukes, they claimed.
Counterpoint for reality: Nukes do not deter unless it is proven that one would actually really use them and that can only be proved if one really actually would. Look at the number of wars involving nukes States. They do not deter. Nukes are preparation to commit the worst atrocity ever seen by humankind, can not be accepted for ANYone to have.
@[email protected] In English: We, the Anarchist Front of Iran and Afghanistan, once again reaffirm our unwavering and principled stance: Every war-at any scale and under any pretext-that is initiated or prolonged by states is to be unequivocally condemned. States, regardless of their form or appearance, utilize war as an instrument for survival and control. And in this process, it is the lives, dignity, and futures of ordinary people that are trampled underfoot. At a time when the world is once more engulfed by violence, bombings, death, displacement, and insecurity, we insist on this enduring truth: the true victims of war are always the people-not the states, not ideologies, not borders. Our struggle, as ever, is not for the redistribution of power among elites, but against the very institution of the state and all forms of organized domination. We stand in solidarity-with care and resolve-alongside the people of Iran, Afghanistan, and the broader region. What we are witnessing today is, on one hand, the blatant crimes of the Israeli regime, which targets civilians in Gaza and elsewhere with savage brutality. On the other hand, we see the Islamic Republic of Iran manipulating public fear, playing geopolitical games at the cost of Iranian lives, and forcing the burden of war upon society. We see the Islamic Republic not merely as a regional warmonger, but as part of a global chain of domination and repression-a regime that for decades has assaulted the Iranian people with censorship, poverty, imprisonment, torture, and execution, and recklessly endangers millions through its military provocations. While we condemn the atrocities of the Zionist regime in the strongest terms, we also declare that the struggle against the Islamic Republic is part of our broader fight against all states and structures of domination-a struggle that will persist. We fight for a world without borders without states, without armies or authoritarianism-a world in which humanity, life and freedom are placed at the center. Our primary war has always been the war against political authoritarianism, totalitarianism and the state itself. Anarchist Front of Iran and Afghanistan Kharad 1404
