Iran

We call on the American people and government to end the US destruction of the Iranian people, their homes, schools, health facilities, places of worship and of commerce.

Congress may soon consider a supplemental spending bill of more than $200 billion to fund U.S. military operations against Iran. This legislation would deepen military engagement, increase the risk of a prolonged conflict, and could draw in U.S. ground forces. Lawmakers should reject any supplemental funding for this illegal war.

As the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran escalates, we continue to mourn the lives lost and destroyed each day by this violence.

We unequivocally condemn the attacks on Iran in March 2026 and demand the immediate cessation of all attacks and the withdrawal of the U.S. military from the area. We grieve over the loss of life, the human suffering, the damage to the world economy, and the environmental damage.

As a community of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), we are disturbed and deeply concerned about the recent violence in the Middle East.

Like many around the world, members and attenders of the Walla Walla Friends Meeting are deeply disturbed by the US and Israeli attacks on Iran and by the US assassination of Iranian government leaders.

Congress may soon consider a supplemental funding bill that could provide $50 billion or more to expand U.S. military operations against Iran. These unauthorized strikes are already costing American taxpayers more than $1 billion per day. Lawmakers must reject this request to fund an illegal war that has cost innocent lives and is threatening global stability.

A broad coalition of Christian and ecumenical faith organizations is calling on Congress to oppose any supplemental appropriations that would fund a war with Iran. In a joint letter signed by communions, ministries, and organizations representing multiple traditions, faith leaders warn that approving billions in additional military funding would prolong an unauthorized and dangerous conflict while placing civilians and U.S. service members at greater risk.

As the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran escalates, we continue to mourn the lives lost and destroyed each day by this violence.

Washington, D.C. – We are deeply disappointed that Congress failed to pass a War Powers Resolution to stop President Trump’s illegal and immoral war on Iran. The House of Representatives voted 219 to 212 to reject a War Powers Resolution which would have withdrawn U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran. This follows a vote from the Senate 53-47 to reject a parallel resolution.
