For nearly two months, the Trump administration has driven an illegal, catastrophic war on Iran which has murdered thousands of Iranians, destroyed critical civilian infrastructure, and threatened total annihilation of Iran’s civilization. They have sent thousands of our brothers, sisters, and family members to fight and die for the sake of American domination of Iran and the region. It is time for congress to end this war. The cost is too high.
Veterans For Peace is a global organization of Military Veterans and allies whose collective efforts are to build a culture of peace by using our experiences and lifting our voices. We inform the public of the true causes and the enormous costs of wars, with an obligation to heal the wounds of wars. Our network is composed of over 100 chapters worldwide whose work includes: educating the public, advocating for a dismantling of the war economy, providing services that assist veterans and victims of war, and most significantly, working to end all wars. Veterans For Peace is dedicated to restraining the US government from intervening in the internal affairs of other nations, and calls on the US to end its complicity in the Gaza genocide by stopping the flow of US weapons to Israel.
Veterans For Peace was founded in 1985 by military veterans opposed to the Reagan administration’s war against the people of Central America. It includes men and women veterans of all eras and duty stations spanning the Spanish Civil War, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Persian Gulf, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, other conflicts and periods in between.
