The statement in itself or the organisations as a whole? Please link the statement next time.

IMO the statement in itself is fine for a domestic statement, but shouldn't be made in collaboration with CPs of enemy states. Tudeh should be asking for their comrades abroad nothing short of the complete overthrow of their regimes. If Iranians are getting killed by your country, solidarity without risk of consequences is no solidarity at all.
I understand the gringo urge to be angry at communists abroad being critical of their reactionary but anti-hegemonic governments, but that's just a byproduct of translation into English. If this little "strongly worded" text was only published in Persian it would be unobjectionable.
