 NO WAR ON IRAN! NO NUKES!

United for Peace and Justice opposes any military action against Iran, as
well as covert action and sanctions. We reject the doctrine of "preventive
war." All diplomatic solutions must be pursued.

TELL CONGRESS AND THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL:
DON'T ATTACK IRAN!

President Bush has refused to rule out a U.S. nuclear attack on Iran if
Iran doesn't halt its uranium enrichment activities, declaring on April
18th:

options are on the table."

United for Peace and Justice calls upon the U.S. Congress and the United
Nations Security Council to oppose military action against Iran, uphold the
law, support diplomatic solutions to the crisis, and put an end to U.S.
nuclear hypocrisy. We urge you to add your signature to two letters:

CONGRESS: Oppose any attack on Iran or covert military actions there.

THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL: Don't cave into Washington on Iran.

With the majority of the people in this country now opposing the war in
Iraq, it's almost inconceivable that the Bush Administration could be
planning to launch another illegal, immoral war.

But as

Hersh revealed in the April 17th New Yorker, "While publicly advocating
diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, [the Bush
Administration] has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and
intensified planning for a possible major air attack. Current and former
American military and intelligence officials said that Air Force planning
groups are drawing up lists of targets, and teams of American combat troops
have been ordered into Iran, under cover, to collect targeting data and to
establish contact with anti-government ethnic-minority groups." Even more
alarming, Hersh wrote that "American Naval tactical aircraft, operating
from carriers in the Arabian Sea, have been flying simulated
nuclear-weapons delivery missions.... since last summer," and the Bush
administration is giving serious consideration to the use of nuclear
weapons.

Washington Post independently reported that Pentagon planners are
"contemplating tactical nuclear devices" to take out deeply buried
underground targets in Iran.

On April 28, the United Nations Security Council will be called upon to
consider a report from the International Atomic Energy Agency evaluating
Iran's nuclear program. The IAEA is unequivocal that there is no evidence
that Iran has diverted nuclear materials to weapons.

Yet escalating rhetoric from Washington continues to threaten sanctions and
other "painful consequences" against Iran. Retired Air Force Colonel Sam
Gardiner, reiterating that a military operation has already begun inside
Iran, told Amy Goodman,

a very serious question about the constitutional framework under which we
are now conducting military operations in Iran."
