Rejected petition Do not join any US-led war against Iran

Commit the UK will not join, support or participate in any war or offensive military action led by the US against Iran - no troops/boots on the ground, no supplying munitions/assets and instead use all diplomatic/multilateral means to de-escalate tensions and prevent wider regional/global conflict.

More details

We urge the Government to reject US-led war with Iran because:
- UK involvement will provoke Russia/China and risk escalation
- Strait of Hormuz disruptions can be offset by UK domestic oil/gas development for energy independence
- Global war would cause unprecedented destruction
- 'Regime change from the sky' has repeatedly failed historically
- War costs would deepen UK debt far beyond any Hormuz impact
- Such action violates international law
