An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Demand a Diplomatic Exit From the Iran Conflict Now

286 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

End this war with Iran before it spirals beyond anyone's control. Every day without a clear diplomatic off-ramp raises the risk of an escalation that no one — not Congress, not the markets, not the American people — is prepared for. I want you to publicly demand a ceasefire and push the administration toward negotiation. The scenarios ahead are all bad. A strike on Kharg Island, which handles 90% of Iran's oil and gas distribution, could trigger a global economic collapse. A gradual escalation risks a sustained shooting war with no exit in sight. And with an impulsive executive who has reportedly ordered the killing of survivors of sunk vessels in the Caribbean, nothing is truly off the table — including tactical nuclear options. Three American soldiers are already dead. That number should not grow because Washington lacks the political will to de-escalate. Congress has the power to check this. Use it. Demand a vote on war authorization, cut off funding for offensive operations, and make clear that the American public did not sign up for an open-ended war in the Middle East.
