Protest, Weds, 1 Feb, 5-6pm, Donald Dewar's statue, top of Buchanan St, Glasgow.
Is Iran about to subject to a US/UK military onslaught aimed at toppling the regime?
Iran is seeking to start up a nuclear energy programme. The west however, without providing any hard evidence are making the claim that Iran are wanting to build a nuclear bomb.
Britain, America and Europe are now applying pressure on the United Nations Security Council to impose stringent economic sanctions. And if these sanctions fail to make Iran do the west's bidding then there is the strongest possibility that the US/UK will once more follow the unilateral path and launch full scale airstrikes that will go beyond neutralising Iran's nuclear program and will devastate Iran's economic, social, industrial, and political infrastructure.
The vice-president of America, Dick Cheney, has already authorised the Pentagon to formulate a plan for airstrikes against Iran that include 450 targets. Such a attack will cause a large number of civilian casualities, and will create immense environmental damage.
