Stop Iran
Stop The Threat of a Nuclear Iran
Iran’s nuclear development program is a grave concern to the Jewish community because it poses a threat - to global security, to U.S. interests, and to the very existence of Israel.
The Jewish Community Relations Council's role and mandate are clear. In March 2007, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs adopted a Resolution on Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program affirming the threat of a nuclear Iran. The organized Jewish community is called upon to devote maximum and urgent effort toward getting the U.S. and the international community to cooperate on a diplomatic and economic strategy that will persuade the Tehran regime to abandon its weapons program.

Targeted divestment from Iran’s energy and gas industries has succeeded in denying Iran much-needed foreign investment.
