Events Iran: the Nuclear Impasse and the Prospect of War

Sanctions are tightening and loosening, threats are flying, and the only infographics available to explain the ongoing conflict with Iran is Israeli prime minister Netanyahu's 5th grade-level bomb illustration. Reliable information on Iran is becoming increasingly difficult to come by.

That's why you should go to "Iran: the Nuclear Impasse and the Prospect of War," at 7 p.m. on Thursday at Capitol Hill's St. Mark's Cathedral. While there, you will hear from a panel of local experts on why they believe "negotiations are the only path to resolve conflict with Iran. Military confrontations and acts of terror like assassinations and cyber-terror will fail."

Speakers will include local activist and author of Tikun Olam, Richard Silverstein; president of the Iranian-American Council's Washington chapter, Reza Firouzbakht; and the former president of United Nation's Association's Seattle chapter, Dick Blakney.

No war, no sanctions. Diplomacy is the only solution.

(PS — This is one of dozens of AWESOME EVENTS that appear on The Stranger's very own hot-buttered, fudge-slathered politics-and-news calendar.)

Let me guess: they're going to completely ignore the fact that Israel has nuclear weapons and refuses to join the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
