Did you know that the consensus view of the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies is that Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon? Or that the Israeli government agrees with this assessment? WNPJ's new "Iran and the bomb - get the facts" flyer includes information you're probably not getting from the corporate media, where false claims of an "Iranian nuclear threat" are treated as established fact.

WNPJ has signed on to the following statement from United for Peace and Justice. 

 While the statement calls for "diplomacy and negotiations" instead of force and a "Weapons of Mass Destruction-Free Zone" in the Middle East, it should be noted that there is no justification for a U.S. attack or sanctions on Iran whatever the status of those negotiations, nor does the U.S., the world's foremost military aggressor, have the moral right to ask Iran to do anything, and the only WMD's in the region reside in Israel, a staunch U.S. ally that receives over $3 billion per year in direct U.S. aid.

WNPJ past chair Bonnie Block (left) makes the case against war and sanctions on Iran in an op-ed published in Friday's Capital Times. Bonnie writes: "The real issue is who will be in charge in the Middle East. The U.S. and Israel as its proxy want to be in charge for oil and empire so they want to insure Iran is marginalized. Israel has around 200 nuclear weapons, has never allowed  inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, nor signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Ditto for India and Pakistan. Yet the U.S. gives aid to all three of these countries. Furthermore, the five original nuclear powers have done little to eliminate these dreadful weapons as evidenced by their possession of over 20,000 such weapons. So why is the focus only on Iran?"
