All of the anti-war groups have united on the need to stop the U.S. and/or Israel from launching a military attack on Iran. The demands of the demonstrations will be: “No war, no sanctions, no intervention, no assassinations against Iran.”
There is also consensus that the new sanctions President Barack Obama signed into law on Dec. 31 -- with the goal of breaking the Iranian central bank -- are themselves an act of war aimed at the Iranian people. Political activists have raised the danger of a wider war should fighting break out in or around Iran.
While the organizations involved have varied assessments of the Iranian government, they all saw any intervention from U.S.
imperialism in the Southwest Asian country as a threat to the entire region and to peace. Iranians involved with planning the Feb 4 actions and who are in touch with family and friends there have conveyed the Iranian people’s anger at the recent assassination of a young scientist.
There was agreement to make “no assassinations” one of the demands to show solidarity with the Iranian population as well as to condemn the U.S. and its allies for criminal activities against Iran and its people.
As of Jan. 19, the organizations that called the actions or endorsed later included the United National Anti-War Coalition (UNAC), the International Action Center (IAC), SI! Solidarity with Iran, Refugee Apostolic Catholic Church, Workers World Party, World Can’t Wait, American Iranian Friendship Committee, the Campaign Against Sanctions & Military Intervention in Iran (CASMII).
