In more than 100 cities across the globe people rallied in support of the Iran nuclear deal, calling on the United States to give peace a chance. The #SupportIranDeal mobilization spanned continents as participants called for peace.
The organizers said “Our aim is to make a video using the photos of our events around the world, and show our support for the agreement with Iran to the rest of the world because this deal is ours, that will empower us, and strengthen our elected officials to help the gradual reform we want for our country.”
They went on to say “. . . there are proponents of war in the U.S. spending millions of dollars to kill this agreement. This deal is still fragile, this seed of reconciliation has to be protected until the day it spreads seeds of peace all over the region. It is pending a final approval by the U.S. congress in September. Many senators and representatives’ vote is going to depend on the overall opinion of the general public toward the deal. The alternative to this deal, is another billion-dollar war in the Middle East.”
