AN APPEAL TO ORGANIZERS AND
ACTIVISTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
AROUND THE WORLD:
Consider as soon as possible if
you can organize a STOP WAR ON
IRAN protest in your locality
during the weekend of August 2 –
3.
Let us know so that your
protest can be listed.
YET ANOTHER U.S. WAR?
The U.S. occupation of Iraq and
Afghanistan is hated by the
people there. These wars have no
support at home and are ruining
the domestic economy. Instead of
pulling out, the Bush
administration is preparing for
still another war—this time
against Iran . This must be
stopped!
AGRESSION TOWARDS IRAN IS
ESCALATING
On June 4, George Bush, with
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert at his side, called Iran
a “threat to peace.” Two days
before, acting as a proxy for
the Pentagon, Israel used
advanced U.S. fighter planes to
conduct massive air maneuvers,
which the media called a “dress
rehearsal” for an attack on Iran
’s nuclear facility. Under
pressure from the U.S. , the
European Union announced
sanctions against Iran on June
23. A bill is before Congress
for further U.S. sanctions on
Iran and even a blockade of Iran
.
IRAN “THREATS” A HOAX
Iran as a “nuclear threat” is as
much a hoax as Bush’s claim of
“weapons of mass destruction” in
Iraq used to justify the war
there. The International Atomic
Energy Agency, which inspects
Iran ’s nuclear facilities, says
it has no weapons program and is
developing nuclear power for the
days when its oil runs out. Even
Washington ’s 16 top spy
agencies issued a joint
statement that said Iran does
not have nuclear weapons
technology!
U.S. and Israel are the real
nuclear danger. The Pentagon has
a huge, nuclear-capable naval
armada in the Persian/Arabian
Gulf, with guns aimed at Iran .
Israel , the Pentagon’s proxy
force in the Middle East , has
up to 200 nuclear warheads and
has never signed the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran
did sign it.
WAR HURTS U.S. ECONOMY
While billions of dollars go to
war, at home the unemployment
rate had the biggest spike in 23
years. Home foreclosures and
evictions are increasing; fuel
and food prices are through the
roof. While the situation is
growing dire for many,
Washington ’s cuts to domestic
programs continue. A new U.S.
war will bring only more
suffering.
WHAT WE DO RIGHT NOW CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE
While the summer is a difficult
time to call protests, the
August recess of Congress gives
the White House an opportunity
for unopposed aggression against
Iran . We must not let this
happen! From the anti-war
movement and all movements for
social change, to religious and
grassroots organizations, unions
and schools, let us join forces
to demand “No war on Iran, U.S.
out of Iraq, Money for human
needs not war! “
This call to action is issued by
StopWarOnIran.org, a network
of thousands of concerned
activists and organizations
fighting to stop a new war
against Iran since February
2006.
