Opposition is building against the illegal war on Iran. The Trade Union Congress has issued a powerful condemnation and is calling for the support of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Public polling shows that a majority oppose Britain granting permission for Trump to use British bases in any military actions.
Ahead of demonstrations this Saturday, CND is holding a special webinarTODAY, Thursday 5 March, to discuss the war on Iran and the nuclear hypocrisy of the US and Israel.
With guest speakers: Ann Wright, former US Army Colonel and retired US State Department official who resigned over the illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003; Dania Akkad, reporter at Declassified UK; Abbas Edalat, Campaign Against Military Intervention and Sanctions in Iran (CASMII); Carol Turner, CND Vice-Chair. Chaired by Sophie Bolt, CND General Secretary.
The webinar comes ahead of two very important demonstrations on Saturday, 7 March.
CND, Stop the War and the Palestine Coalition are organising a national demonstration in London with a march to the US Embassy.
CND, Drone Wars, and Oxfordshire Peace Campaign are organising an RAF Fairford, to protest against the base being used for long-range bombing attacks on Iran.
Join us in condemning these illegal attacks and to call on Britain to stop giving permission for Trump to use British bases.
