“Israel’s alarming decision to launch airstrikes on Iran is a reckless escalation that risks igniting regional violence. These strikes threaten not only the lives of innocent civilians, but the stability of the entire Middle East.” —Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island

The U.S. government has the power to put a stop to Israel's attack on Iran, just as it has the power to put a stop to Israel's attack on Gaza. A war between the U.S. and Iran—or a major Israel-Iran conflict—would be catastrophic. We need to make it clear that war with Iran is not an option.

Send your Representative and Senators this message: 

As your constituent, I urge you to take a stand against military conflict with Iran and support initiatives like re-entering the Iran nuclear deal, which offers a path toward de-escalation and stability. Please let me know where you stand on this critical issue.

Decades of sanctions have inflicted severe suffering on the Iranian people while failing to weaken the regime. War has the very real potential of triggering broader regional warfare, nuclear proliferation, and even a global conflict.

I urge you to champion diplomacy instead of warfare.

RootsAction has pressured Congresses and presidents over the years here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here for peace and diplomacy with Iran (to cite just a sampling of our online actions). Past successes in preventing this war each time are important to recognize, but we can't continue having this struggle year after year. Enough is enough!
