No war with Iran
Sara Haghdoosti - MoveOn
Dear MoveOn member,
A deal on Iran's nuclear program could be announced any day. That's why I started a petition on MoveOn.org to President Barack Obama in support of his administration's diplomatic efforts. The petition says:
Dear President Obama: I strongly support diplomacy with Iran. I don't want to see us embroiled in another war in the Middle East. I urge you to continue your current efforts in finding a diplomatic solution.
President Obama is pursuing diplomacy and considering reducing sanctions on Iran. Getting to this point hasn't been an easy road. The President has faced pressure from conservative lobby groups and members of his own party to take a harder line on Iran.
It's crucial for us to visibly support the President to show that the political space to pursue diplomacy with Iran exists. If we can show that diplomacy is met with widespread support—we'll be able to pave the way for success. But if we are silent, conservative lobby groups will frame and undermine the deal.
The diplomatic deal that could be announced at any moment began with a phone call between President Obama and President Rouhani of Iran. Many conservatives in Iran argue that talking to the United States is futile. President Rouhani has bet much of his political capital on these talks.
By creating a strong groundswell of public support for diplomacy, we can stand against another war in the Middle East and also show solidarity with the Iranian people who elected Rouhani with a mandate to improve relations with the United States.
Thank you for your support.
