Nuclear power creates toxic waste, is a costly form of energy generation, and tied to nuclear weapons.

Oman’s foreign minister, and the mediator in the US Iran nuclear talks, has claimed the US will not achieve as much through war as it could have achieved in the peace talks. Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi was speaking to Omani reporters in Muscat and appears to challenge the premise that the war is about Iran’s nuclear program, arguing it was designed to weaken Iran politically. In the official account of the meeting it is said “in describing the background of the war, the minister stated that the decision was not fundamentally linked to the Iranian nuclear program”. He noted that recent negotiations had reached a very advanced stage, including an Iranian pledge not to possess nuclear material capable of producing a bomb, a commitment not to accumulate or store enriched materials and to convert existing stockpiles into irreversible fuel. He emphasised that the United States could not have obtained greater concessions through war than those achieved through negotiation.
An important intervention from Oman's FM. No greater concessions could be achieved through war than via negotiation. Instead of a deal we have a regional crisis and Britain being dragged into another illegal US-led war.

Screen grab of comments made by CND General Secretary Sophie Bolt tothe National newspaper. Text reads: Alarm as UK 'dragged deeper into dangerous and unpredictable' Iran war. Sophie Bolt, the general secretary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), told The National: “Reports that Britain is drawing up plans to further entrench its military presence in the Middle East is evidence that the illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran will not be the quick war that Trump had boasted about. “It is already having a significant global impact, making the world a more dangerous place, and driving economic crises. “Britain is already facilitating this war by allowing British bases like RAF Fairford to be used in so-called 'defensive' bombing and RAF fighter jets are engaging Iranian drones over the region. “Rather than subordinating Britain further to Trump's deadly wars, Keir Starmer should be looking to deescalate.” She said he could do this by “ending the use of British bases by the US to

This illegal war has nothing to do with supposed nuclear threats from Iran. Nuclear-armed Israel and the US sabotaged the talks. Mediators confirmed that Iran had committed to zero uranium enrichment - meaning it would not develop a nuclear bomb. And Iran agreed to full inspections to verify this by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It is also total nuclear hypocrisy. Iran is a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has continued engagement in nuclear talks. Yet how is this country treated? With crippling sanctions and illegal bombings. Meanwhile, nuclear-armed Israel refuses to admit it has nuclear weapons or allow inspections of its nuclear facilities. Yet it faces no pressure to disarm. Instead it is armed to hilt in its genocide of the Palestinian people. CND reasserts its support for a Nuclear Weapons-free Middle East Treaty. Israel - along with all other nuclear weapons states, including Britain - must take steps to disarm its nuclear weapons.
2/2 We need a nuclear weapons-free Middle East secured through diplomacy and dialogue, not illegal bombing and nuclear hypocrisy.

Stop bombing Iran - end the war now. The ongoing unprovoked, illegal attacks by nuclear-armed Israel and the US against Iran has killed thousands and risks unleashing a devastating war across the Middle East. The economic impact of this war is now becoming global, destabilising the world economy and risks increasing poverty in Britain and across the world. These horrifying attacks are just the latest in Trump’s illegal military interventions and threats against sovereign states. Trump’s war drive is making the world far more dangerous and increasing the risk of nuclear weapons being used. Stop the use of British bases. The British government has buckled to the Trump administration and agreed the use of British bases RAF Fairford in Gloucester, and Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands. These bases are critical to Trump’s illegal war on Iran. RAF Fairford, for instance... read full statement at https://cnduk.org/stop-bombing-iran-end-the-nuclear-hypocrisy/

Today we remember the victims of the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident at Fukushima. 15 years on from the disaster, it's important to remember that nuclear power is an incredibly dangerous form of energy generation and is directly linked to nuclear weapons production.

STOP BOMBING IRAN - END NUCLEAR HYPOCRISY CND condemns the continued illegal bombing of Iran by the US and Israel. Already over 1300 people have been killed in Iran, with Iranian retaliation on US bases and energy infrastructure causing deaths and casualties in Israel, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and across the Middle East. Israel’s bombing of Lebanon has killed at least eleven people. Reports now suggest that US-armed Kurdish groups in Iraq may soon cross the border into Iran. Threats by Israel’s defence minister that any new leader in Iran could also be assassinated is yet further evidence that the US and Israel are intent on regime change that could unleash a catastrophic war across the region.
Meanwhile, the US Senate’s Intelligence committee has warned that Trump’s administration has given no indication that it has planned for the aftermath of its military campaign. Starmer initially refused to give Trump permission for the use of British bases, arguing that ‘I won’t commit the UK military to unlawful action’. He has since buckled to US pressure, trying to justify this on the grounds of self-defence. Yet it is hard to see how allowing US nuclear-capable bombers to fly from RAF Fairford to destroy Iran’s ballistic missile sites would be viewed as defensive. Already, British F-35 fighter jets have shot down Iranian drones over Jordan to protect Israeli air space, and RAF Typhoon jets have attacked Iranian drones over Qatar. It is becoming increasingly clear that Britain is being rapidly sucked into another illegal war that the public don’t want.
Polling by YouGov found that most of the British public are opposed to the military attacks, with 49% opposing and just 28% supporting. Meanwhile in the US, several polls taken this week have found that almost two thirds of the public are opposed to Trumps’s military action. Opposition is also very strong within the trade union movement. The Trade Union Congress – representing millions of working people across Britain – have issued a powerful condemnation of the escalation, calling for ‘all states and international actors to assume their historic responsibilities to support de-escalation’, diplomacy, to uphold the UN Charter and support the ‘comprehensive and universal ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons’.
Now more than ever, we need political leaders that will reassert international law, diplomacy and dialogue. We need an end to the illegal bombing of Iran. We need to expose the nuclear hypocrisy that targets Iran, which does not have nuclear weapons, whilst supporting nuclear-armed Israel in its genocide against the Palestinian people and its deadly plans for a greater Israel. This means Britain, as a primary sponsor of the UN resolution, should be promoting the establishment of a Nuclear Weapons-Free Middle East Treaty. The British government needs to stand up to Trump and end its military support for this illegal war. Join the demonstrations this Saturday, 7 March in London and at RAF Fairford

While the govt approves Trump’s use of UK bases to strike Iran, it is denying the public basic information about the US military/intel presence here.
Incredibly, it says “the overall US force composition across its UK footprint is a matter for the US”. ❗️

Image with picture of Emmanuel Macron giving a speech in front of a nuclear-armed submarine. Text below reads: "Britain joins 'Eurobomb' plan."
CND's Sophie Bolt: “Nuclear expansion across Europe - as well as here in Britain - will not keep our populations safe. These plans are part of a huge rearmament programme backed by new US nuclear weapons stationed at NATO bases across Europe. How on earth could siting nuclear weapons even closer to nuclear-armed Russia be a plan to secure stability and reduce tensions? This is far more likely to lead to a further escalation of tensions and increase the risk of nuclear confrontation. CND is part of a growing movement across Europe that is opposing this war drive. We need a nuclear-free Europe and a common security strategy based on peace, diplomacy, and dialogue.”
