Tackle corporate profiteering from Iran War, and provide cost of living support (Civil Society Letter)

Co-ordinated by Tax Justice UK, the letter (26 March) includes reference to war profiteering. “Sadly, there are some clear winners of the war on Iran. Oil and gas giants, big banks, agricultural input industries and defence companies will likely make record profits, at the expense of enormous human suffering.
