Demonstration and die-in at Fairford US bomber base
Organised by Fairford Action
As the US and Israel’s murderous attacks on Iran enter their sixth week, join us at Fairford air base to call for an immediate end to the war.
Trump’s Iran war defies international law on every level, as an act of aggression breaking the principles of international law and launched without the approval of the US Congress. Although the number of civilian dead is not known, it is clear that it has already entered the thousands, with attacks hitting cities, homes, and schools. Trump is already planning further war crimes, threatening to attack power stations and civilian energy infrastructure in Iran.
The UK has allowed the US Air Force to use Fairford air base to launch attacks on Iran. Twice a day giant B-1 and B-52 heavy bombers fly from Gloucestershire to the Middle East to rain death on Iran. Nobody has been fooled by the UK government’s implausible claim that strikes from Fairford will be ‘defensive’ only – a claim the UK has no way of monitoring or enforcing. See detailed briefing here.
Join us to face down this unlawful aggression and demand an immediate end to the war with Iran.
