Statement by the National Peace Action Committee of Green Party USA

The Peace Action Committee of the Green Party of the United States (GPAX)

strongly condemns the unprovoked attack by the U.S. and Israel on the Islamic

Republic of Iran.  This attack is a gross violation of international law, and the

consequences of continued fighting could include widespread regional devastation

and a possible nuclear war.

The US attack on Iran and the assassination of Khameini occurred in the middle of

diplomatic negotiations and without Congressional approval. President Trump

continues to make a mockery of diplomacy and legal constratints, acting like an

emperor instead of an elected official. Congress must act to curb his excesses

before he does further damage.

Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz has already resulted in disruption of global

energy markets, the world economy and increased oil prices, with more economic

damage to follow with each day this war continues. The reputation of the U.S. as a

negotiating partner is in tatters after Trump has repeatedly used negotiations as

cover for preparation of military attacks.

As political activists and global citizens we call for an immediate end to the US/Israel

war against Iran, followed by high-level international intervention and diplomacy to

end this war and preventing it from becoming a global calamity. It is crucial for

international bodies, as well as our own political leaders, and the US public at large

to speak out forcefully to make diplomacy the highest priority.  

The immediate path to peace and security is the US and Israel halting their attacks

on Iran, leading to a de-escalation of military threats by both sides and diplomatic

engagement by their leaders with international and multilateral bodies.

Action is needed now to facilitate a neutral platform for de-escalation and

communication between the parties involved.   International organizations also

need to deploy observers and to engage other diplomatic measures to reduce

the tension between Iran and the United States, as well as in the entire Middle

East.  

The Green Party strongly supports nuclear disarmament and has long called for

countries like the US and Israel to get rid of their nuclear weapons. However, it is

unreasonable for the US to expect that Iran would end its own nuclear program and

eliminate its long-distance missiles, leaving it defenseless against countries like the

US and Israel which have already militarily attacked it.

GPAX believes in grassroots democracy and the right to self-determination, and

supports the rights of Iranians to peacefully protest for reforms. However, the future

of the Iranian government is something for the Iranian people to determine free from

interference from outside forces.
