In a region decimated by war and conflict, a U.S. led bombing campaign against Iran would make matters worse—especially
for U.S. soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

to engage in talks with the Iranian government.

A military attack would inevitably kill large numbers of innocent people, foster even more hatred and condemnation of the U.S., and dramatically increase the instability
of the Middle East.
Attack scenarios have shown that military
strikes on Iran would not achieve the stated goal of stopping their nuclear program.
