The war on Iran and the nuclear hypocrisy of the US and Israel.

Since Saturday’s illegal attacks on Iran by the US and Israel, the crisis in the Middle East has escalated to drag more and more neighbouring countries into a devastating conflict. Despite progress being made on talks over Iran’s nuclear programme, Donald Trump for the second time has pursued military action amid negotiations. While the White House’s justification for the attacks changes by the day, it is clear that this is about regime change.

Ahead of demonstrations this Saturday, CND is holding a special webinartomorrow, Thursday 5 March, to discuss the war on Iran and the nuclear hypocrisy of the US and Israel.

• Thursday, 5 March 
• 7:00-8:30pm

Chaired by Sophie Bolt, CND General Secretary.
