It's a situation that the world community can no longer afford to ignore.  Iran says it is aggressively moving forward with a program to enrich uranium to higher levels - a prerequisite for developing nuclear weapons.

This from a nation that is threatening the destruction of Israel.  Imagine nuclear weapons in the hands of a country whose leader has just proclaimed that the destruction of Israel is 'imminent.'

This from a nation that continues to threaten the security and freedom of the West - including the United States.  Its leader promising a damaging 'punch' that will 'stun' the West.

President Obama says the United States is shifting toward sanctions pressure on Iran calling its enrichment program 'unacceptable.'

Some nations would like to continue negotiating with Iran.  But we believe the time for talking is over.  The world community has been urging Iran to halt its nuclear development program for some time now.  That simply hasn't worked. 

We believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has it right.  As he put it:  "Iran is racing forward to produce nuclear weapons ... I believe that what is required right now is tough action by the international community."

The fact is what's needed now is immediate and crippling sanctions against Iran.

That's why we have mobilized our legal teams in this country and abroad - to put pressure on the world community to take immediate action against a dangerous Iran.  We cannot permit this nation to develop nuclear weapons.  It's time to take extraordinary measures - and that means crippling sanctions - to pressure Iran into halting this deadly program.

It's time for the United States and the United Nations to take the lead - impose strong sanctions against Iran now.  Our office in New York is working at the UN on this issue.  We've mobilized our Special Operations Unit in Jerusalem and our international affiliate, the European Centre for Law and Justice, has been fully engaged on this issue and working to generate support among other nations for sanctions against Iran.

Now you can make a difference.  Stand with us and sign on to our Demand Letter - urging President Obama and the United Nations to take IMMEDIATE action against Iran.  Time is of the essence.  We can't permit Iran to develop nuclear weapons. 

Add your name to our Demand Letter - It's time for immediate and crippling sanctions against Iran.
