Sign the Petition to Prevent War with Iran
We won't wait for the bombs to drop to make our voices heard. Tell President Obama that another war isn't what this country needs!
We will deliver our first wave of signatures to the Obama Administration on February 14.
The crisis in the Straits of Hormuz and reports the US is backing off efforts to stop a military strike by Israel represent a threat to our security greater than that posed by Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program.
Recent history proves war isn't working. We expect the US to use every means at its disposal to prevent a strike on Iran by Israel and pursue a diplomatic resolution to the dispute over Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program.

1) Act Now - Don't attack Iran - No More War
The chorus for war on Iran is growing. The US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta
said on the weekend there is 'a strong likelihood' of an attack by Israel
before the spring. Meanwhile there are still calls for intervention in Syria.
As part of our Don't Attack Iran campaign, Stop the War groups and activists
across the country are organising street campaigning, activist meetings and
rallies against a new war in the Middle East. In many places there is action
this Saturday 11 February on the Don't Attack Iran day of action.
Activities on Saturday include filming vox pop interviews with local people,
street meetings, a hoax visit by David Cameron, street stalls, surveys of how
many local people support an attack on Iran, lobbying of local MPs and much
more.
Please do everything you can to get involved. To find details of local activity
