No war with Iran (petition)

Add your name. Tell Congress to act immediately to stop a catastrophic war with Iran.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

We, the American people, believe in peace and diplomacy, not war with Iran. We support the historic Iran diplomatic deal and condemn Trump's illegal assassination of Iranian military leaders and reckless provocation toward war. As an American with family here and in Iran, I am terrified for both nations by what could be the consequences of Trump's actions .

Sign the petition calling on Congress to prevent any further aggressive escalation toward war and block Trump's authoritarian actions.

Please sign now to tell Congress that Americans demand they act to prevent war with Iran.

I have family in Iran, and I have family in America. There's a lot of love between these families . . . and frustration and gossip and recipe swapping and, you know, the stuff of families.

When the Iran deal was signed in 2015, it looked like a huge step forward, like Iran was fully coming into and being embraced by the international community.

It seemed that the constant threat of some kind of war between the United States and Iran had finally diminished. That international diplomacy was being managed by reasonable adults.

Now, the Trump administration is rapidly moving away from peace, it has turned its back on allies like France, Germany, and the U.K. by leaving the Iran deal and by provoking an escalation toward war through the aggressive, illegal assassination of Iranian military leaders.

Add your name to tell Congress you oppose a war with Iran.

I know that my Iranian-American parents and my slew of Iranian aunts and uncles and cousins all agree that for us all to be safe, we must prioritize diplomacy.

We need Congress to push for peace with Iran and stop Trump's attacks.

This war could kill people that I love. It would kill innocents and that should weigh heavily on our conscience as Americans.

Please sign now to tell Congress that Americans demand they act to prevent war with Iran.

Thank you.
