Following the launch of the Don't Attack Iran campaign, Saturday 11 February has been designated a national day of action, with events organised around the country by local Stop the War groups. In Edinburgh we will be leafleting, petitioning and making a splash with posters and banners from 1pm to 3pm at the east end of Princes Street. Please join us.

Clearing the ground for war against Iran |

There is a frightening crescendo building towards war in the Middle East. The UN is debating a resolution on Syria demanding regime change. This follows the withdrawal of the Arab League delegation there and calls for intervention. The US military is clearing the ground for war against Iran. In a report to Congress, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper claimed that Iranian leaders "are now more willing to conduct an attack in the United States."
Meanwhile Defence Secretary Leon Panetta went on TV to assert that Iran would have a nuclear bomb within a year. The US is conducting a military build-up in parallel to the propaganda offensive. A third US carrier is now on the way to the Gulf.
On 28 January, Stop the War launched its national DON'T ATTACKIRAN campaign at a 500 strong rally outside the US Embassy in London. SEE REPORT & VIDEOS OF SPEECHES: http://bit.ly/zMKNEL.
