Demand Diplomacy Over Military Action with Iran
I call on you to publicly denounce President Trump’s reckless decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, and to demand an immediate return to diplomacy.
Rather than ending Iran’s nuclear program, the bombing is more likely to push Iran to pursue a nuclear weapon, something the US intelligence community says they have yet to decide to do.
The painful truth is Iran already agreed to verifiably limit its nuclear enrichment efforts in 2015, but President Trump made the choice to withdraw from that agreement in 2018. Now he has undermined his own efforts to reach a new agreement with Iran by bombing the country without consulting Congress.
In the long run, diplomacy is the only path to achieve a successful outcome with Iran, and this bombing has seriously set back those efforts. I urge you to call on President Trump to return to a diplomatic approach.

Why is this important?
The Trump administration bombed Iran's nuclear sites on June 21, choosing military action over diplomacy, violence and war over peace and true security.
We need your help urgently to push your members of Congress to demand a better approach to the conflict with Iran.
The painful truth is Iran had joined a binding, verified accord to dramatically limit its nuclear enrichment program, but President Trump pulled the United States out of that agreement back in 2018. More recently, he started talks with Iran about a new agreement, but these bombings undermine that effort. Military intervention is unlikely to permanently stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon should it choose to do so, while sharply weakening any trust between the two countries and our best tools for nonproliferation and disarmament. Whereas we know diplomacy works.
Write today and demand that your members of Congress: 1) publicly denounce the attacks on Iran; and 2) call on the president use diplomacy instead of bombs with Iran's leaders.
