We'll be sharing ideas for our national day of action on 24th march : Don't
Iraq Iran!
'We are facing unprecedented calls for an attack on Iran. They come from exactly the same people who took us to war with Iraq on the basis of lies. They are imposing embargos and sanctions, sending warships to the Persian Gulf, and turning a blind eye to assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists. Everyone who opposes further war in the Middle East should start campaigning now to stop this attack.' Lindsey German, STWC
'The hypocrisy of the states threatening Iran seems limitless. They have known for decades that Israel
has a vast arsenal of nuclear weapons, put no pressure on them to comply with or to ratify the NPT or to allow inspections. Instead of ensuring a nuclear weapons-free Middle East, they supply Israel with the technology and materials to threaten war on its neighbours, including Iran.'
Philip Gilligan, CND
'I had to flee Iran, my home country, and seek asylum here because of the current regime, its policies and law. But I believe that war can not be, and is not, the appropriate action to be taken by the super-power countries.' Farid, from Manchester.
