SI - Solidarity with Iran!

Whereas, the escalating sanctions and threats of military intervention against Iran are intended to deprive the Iranian people of their internationally recognized right to live as an independent and free nation;

Whereas, the sanctions and threats are clear violations of Article 2 of the UN Charter, according to which member states must "refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state";

Whereas, the United States is unequivocally obligated under the bilateral 1981 Algiers Treaty to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of Iran; Whereas. sanctions often pave the way to war;

Whereas, Iran, as a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has an "inalienable right" to develop and use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes; Whereas, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, there is no evidence to back up the charge that Iran is "planning to produce nuclear weapons";

Whereas, the hegemonic lobbies that portray Iran as a threat to peace today also lied about imaginary weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to convince the public that war was necessary; The people of the world cannot allow such a crime against humanity.

Therefore, I (We) join with all who stand for justice, peace, sovereignty and self determination in raising my (our) voice to demand:

 - Lift economic sanctions against Iran.

 - Recognize the right of Iran to develop and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

 - Stop military threats against Iran.

I am truly humbled by the way this has grown far beyond anything I imagined when I first started. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who chose to speak up for peace.

The people of Iran, like every other people in the world, have the inherent GOD-given rights to be treated as full-fledged and respected human beings, to be free and happy in their country, and to not be brutalized by horrendous sanctions and brutal military assaults.

Keep the troops home for once. We have had enough of these endless wars that just ruin lives and cost way to much money.

We already saw how the Iraq thing went. Why are we pushing for the exact same mistake again.
