Dear John,
Last night Israel conducted a military operation against Iran.
Any time there are bombs or missiles striking Iran, we are deeply concerned for our loved ones who could be harmed, and that the situation could escalate to a full-blown war.
Initial indications are that Israel’s retaliation to Iran’s October 1 strike was limited and less extensive than initially threatened. Military sites were targeted, and at least four Iranian soldiers appear to have been killed, with more injured. The death toll for this strike could continue to rise and, if it does, there could be growing pressure for Iran to respond militarily against Israel or the United States.
However, initial indications are that Iran’s government has downplayed the attack and may not plan to retaliate further. If so, those of us working to avoid a full-blown war have been given a reprieve. The U.S., Iran and Israel have walked to the edge of the abyss, but have not leaped into it yet.
We must use this time we have been given.
Many members of our community lived through the terror of the Iran-Iraq war. We must do everything we can to advocate for peace and against policies that lay the groundwork for war.
That is why NIAC has been working for over a year for a ceasefire to prevent a nightmare scenario where escalating regional tensions lead to a full-blown war with Iran.
Sadly, some have cheered for war in the region and that it would spread to Iran. We will do everything in our power to not let that happen. We know that there is no military solution to this conflict, that it is ordinary people who suffer under war and collective punishment, and that only a ceasefire can ensure we don’t march headlong into a disastrous war with Iran.
Right now, I hope you can join us in the following actions:

We need to unite and say loudly and clearly:
No War with Iran. Ceasefire Now.
In solidarity,
Jamal Abdi
President, NIAC
