Urgent Call to Oppose Escalation of War with Iran

To: Rep. Mannion, Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand

From: A verified voter in Fayetteville, NY

June 14, 2025

I write to you as a concerned constituent, urging you to take a strong stand against Israel’s recent unprovoked military attack on Iran and to push for immediate de-escalation and diplomacy. The June 13, 2025 strikes—which risk sparking a catastrophic regional war—were conducted in defiance of international law. As your constituent, I implore you to: 1. Publicly condemn Israel’s attack on Iran as a dangerous escalation that undermines regional stability and threatens global security. 2. Support legislation to block U.S. military aid from being used for further offensive actions against Iran, in accordance with U.S. and international law. 3. Advocate for renewed diplomacy, including rejoining the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) and supporting regional de-escalation efforts. The U.S. must not be complicit in another disastrous war in the Middle East. As a family member of a Vietnam War veteran and a current member of the U.S. Army, I fear for the safety of our military if the U.S. were to become involved. Experts warn that further escalation could lead to a wider conflict, with devastating humanitarian consequences and severe economic disruptions. Diplomacy—not military aggression—is the only path to lasting peace. I urge you to uphold your commitment to peace, human rights, and responsible foreign policy by opposing this reckless escalation. Please clarify your stance on this critical issue.
