Noting that 16 U.S. intelligence agencies have agreed that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program and that it poses no imminent threat to the U.S., the resolution expresses the will of the people of Chicago opposing any U.S. attack on Iran and urging the Bush Administration to engage Iran diplomatically.

Please contact your Alderman and ask him/her to support the resolution.
