President of the Veterans for Peace organization Leah Bolger
President of the US-based Veterans for Peace Leah Bolger says many anti-war organizations are making efforts to oppose a possible military attack against Iran.
Veterans for Peace and many peace-seeking organizations are trying so hard to oppose a military attack against Iran, Bolger said in an interview with the Iranian Fars News Agency.
The former US commander said such an attack against Iran would violate international law.
Referring to the upcoming summit of NATO leaders in Chicago, Bolger said she and many of the members of the Veterans for Peace would go to Chicago to declare the veterans demand to end NATO’s mission and war.
The US, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear program without offering any evidence corroborating such allegations.
Washington and Tel Aviv have time and again threatened Tehran with a military strike against its civilian nuclear facilities.
Iran argues that as a signatory to the Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has every right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Iranian officials have also promised a powerful response to any military strike against the country, warning that any such measure could result in a war that would spread beyond the Middle East.
