"Organised opposition to a possible future military attack
against Iran by the United States (US) is known to have
started during 2005-2006. Beginning in early 2005,
journalists, activists and academics such as Seymour
Hersh[1][2], Scott Ritter[3], Joseph Cirincione[4] and
Jorge E. Hirsch[5] began publishing claims that United
States' concerns over the alleged threat posed by the
possibility that Iran may have a nuclear weapons
program might lead the US government to take military
action against that country in the future. These reports,
and the concurrent escalation of tensions between Iran
and some Western governments, prompted the
formation of grassroots organisations, including
Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention
in Iran in the US and the United Kingdom, to advocate
against potential military strikes on Iran. Additionally,
several individuals, grassroots organisations and
international governmental organisations, including
the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy
Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei[6], a former United
Nations weapons inspector in Iraq, Scott Ritter[3],
Nobel Prize winners including Shirin Ebadi, Mairead
Corrigan-Maguire and Betty Williams, Harold Pinter
and Jody Williams[7], Campaign for Nuclear
Disarmament[7], Code Pink[8], the Non-Aligned
Movement[9] of 118 states, and the Arab League[10],
have publicly stated their opposition to a would-be
attack on Iran."
