Activists of the Iranian Revolutionary Socialists' League (in exile), the editorial board of Militant (in Iran)* and the Workers' Action Committee (Iran) will from now on continue their activity on the basis of a joint Tasks and Principles document and Workers' Action Programme inside a single tendency called the Iranian Revolutionary Marxists' Tendency (IRMT). In order to strengthen the IRMT they will end their activities inside the previous organisational structures.
The Tasks and Principles document, Workers' Action Programme and the present statement were adopted unanimously at the first conference of the Iranian Revolutionary Marxists' Tendency on 21-22 September.
Iranian Revolutionary Marxists' Tendency will begin its activities as the Iranian section of the International Marxist Tendency.
From now on Militant will be published as the journal of the Iranian Revolutionary Marxists' Tendency.
We invite all Iranian revolutionary Marxists to assist and join the Iranian Revolutionary Marxists' Tendency in the task of making organised interventions in the labour, students' and other social movements, and ending the long period of scattering and dispersion among us.
The Tasks and Principles document and Workers' Action Programme will be published as the programme of the Iranian Revolutionary Marxists' Tendency.

* During internal discussions a comrades on the editorial board of Militant considered the founding of the tendency as a premature step and, even though agreeing with the theoretical principles of the tendency, did not join the Iranian Revolutionary Marxists' Tendency.
