From Peace Action (http://www.peace-action.org/):
The Iran deal was the result of years of painstaking negotiations and is one of the strongest and most significant nuclear nonproliferation arrangements in history. With this deal, we peacefully eliminated the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran and strengthened our own national security. Without it, we face yet another avoidable disastrous conflict in the Middle East.
The Biden administration is currently in talks to re-enter the Iran Nuclear Deal. Returning to the Iran deal is a necessary requirement for effective, broader diplomacy with Iran. The United States, along with people worldwide, deserves a long-term diplomatic approach to Iran that minimizes human suffering and fosters lasting peace.
In order to fully amplify the voices for peace and diplomacy, Peace Action has joined a broad coalition of organizations to urge the Biden administration to act fast in rejoining the Nuclear Deal, and we need you to sign our petition today calling on him to do just that at https://actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-the-petition-to-president-biden-restore-the-iran-deal-2.
We can’t let this historic diplomatic opportunity be lost. President Biden must take bold diplomatic steps and seek a deal that brings durable sanctions relief for the Iranian people and puts the lid on Iran’s nuclear program. We’re hearing reports that a deal may be coming soon, and if that deal has significant changes from the original 2015 text of the nuclear deal, it may kick off a 30-day legislative fight including votes in Congress on whether or not to reject a deal.
In 2018, Trump reneged on the Iran deal and imposed crushing sanctions that have harmed innocent Iranian people. With the U.S. out of the deal, Iran has had little incentive to abide by the deal and has reduced its compliance. Trump undermined American credibility in future international agreements, further isolated the U.S. from major allies, and impoverished the Iranian people.
The war in Ukraine provides a stark reminder of how important strong and effective diplomacy is. Now, in order to avoid yet another endless war, we must do everything we can to promote peace and diplomacy. Now is the time to organize and speak out in support of a diplomatic solution that truly makes our world safer.
Thank you for everything you do to forge a more peaceful world.
