This comes as the US and Iran are now in an active military conflict, with ongoing airstrikes, retaliation, and rising global risks.

The remarks were delivered during a media briefing at the Cape Heritage Museum at the Good Hope Centre, attended by leaders of civil society formations, organisations, and activists, particularly within the Palestine solidarity movement.
