Wed 5 Mar: Webinar – No war on Iran – No to Nuclear Hypocrisy

Since Israel and the US illegally attacked Iran on Saturday, the crisis has escalated to drag more of the Middle East into a wider regional conflict.

Despite claiming that bases like RAF Fairford in Gloucester and Diego Garcia on the Chagos Islands will not be used to bomb Iran, Britain has allowed US aircraft flying to the Middle East for its military build-up to use bases such as Lakenheath, Mildenhall, and Prestwick airport in Scotland as staging posts for overnight rest stops and refuelling. The prime Minister Keir Starmer has now said that US bases in Britain can be used to attack Iranian missile sites.

The US has claimed that Iran is developing a nuclear weapons programme, but both countries were in talks that were making progress on this issue, right up to the moment of attack.

Events are developing quickly but this is a highly dangerous situation that risks spiralling out of control. Join us to discuss how we keep up the pressure on the British government to stop its support for this illegal military action.

With guest speakers Dania Akkad, Declassified; Abbas Edalat, Campaign Against Military Intervention and Sanctions on Iran (CASMII); and Carol Turner, Vice-Chair CND. Chaired by Sophie Bolt, CND General Secretary.
