Quaker Lobby Welcomes Step toward Peace between U.S. and Iran

Washington, D.C. – The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) welcomes the new memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran. After months of devastating and unnecessary conflict, this 60-day framework — with its commitment to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and create space for dialogue on Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, and the release of frozen Iranian assets — is a step toward the diplomatic resolution this crisis always demanded. We applaud every person, in government and out, who pushed to make this possible.
