The Brarites rarely miss an opportunity to have a pop at the CPB in the Brarite report that says, inter alia, that:

"It is rare that revisionists and opportunists declare their treachery so openly. Let workers beware: the true content of the political line expressed in the formula ‘neither Washington nor Tehran’ is to render the anti-imperialist (ie, workers’) movement, particularly here at home in the imperialist core, ‘disarmed and toothless.

The CPB has teamed up with Trotskyites and Labour party social democrats in order to deliver the working people of Britain, supine and defenceless, into the hands of their British imperial ruling class."

The report tacitly assumes that the CPB was the prime mover in the joint statement that they signed together with the CPUSA and the Tudeh Party of Iran. But this initiative could easily have come from the other two parties -- both of whom enjoy very good relations with the CPB.

Their statement goes beyond the joint statement of communist and workers' parties "On the criminal attack of the USA in Middle East":

which they all signed together with most of the Solidnet group that circulated it. But it mirrors Tudeh's position on the Islamic Republic of Iran which may suggest that Tudeh was the inspiration.
