‘No to War – No to Nato’ support the call for a ‘Global Day of Action’ against a war with Iran on Saturday, January 25th, 2020
The Middle East is on the verge of a new disastrous conflict. 17 years after the invasion of Iraq, the US seems to be heading for a war with Iran. The extrajudicial execution of Qasem Soleimani with drone rockets, whatever his crimes have been, is a provocative act of war and a violation of international law. US President Trump is undermining the international legal framework on a regular basis. We can not tolerate that laws of the jungle and the logic of war will rule the world.
War will further destabilize the Middle East and threaten stability in the world. Ordinary citizens will be the victims. War is only benefiting the war industry and militarism.
We say stop! We don’t want a war with Iran. Not in our name!
The international network ‘No to War – No to Nato’ encourages peace organizations and other social movements to take the streets in a worldwide movement with a strong anti-war message. It supports the call issued by our friends of the US peace movement for a “Global Day of Action” against a war with Iran on Saturday, January 25th.
