Peace by peaceful means. Ceasefire and negotiations now! Statement from the International Summit for Peace in Ukraine, 2023.

We support all negotiations that stand for the logic of peace instead of the illogic of war.

We affirm our support for Ukrainian civil society who are defending their rights. We commit ourselves to strengthening the dialogue with those in Russia and Belarus who are putting their lives at risk opposing war and protecting democracy.

We call on civil society in all countries to join us in a week of global mobilization (Saturday 30th September – Sunday 8th October 2023) for an immediate ceasefire and peace negotiations to end this war.

Vienna, June 11th, 2023

Vienna’s International Summit for Peace in Ukraine Issues a Global Call for Action

During the weekend of June 10-11 in Vienna, Austria, over 300 people representing peace organizations from 32 countries came together for the first time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine to demand an end to the fighting. In a formal conference declaration, participants declared, “We are a broad and politically diverse coalition that represents peace movements and civil society. We are firmly united in our belief that war is a crime against humanity and there is no military solution to the current crisis.”

To amplify their call for a ceasefire, Summit participants committed themselves to organizing Global Weeks of Action–protests, street vigils and political lobbying–during the days of September 30-October 8.

It was the US that cheated & breached the JCPOA deliberately to impose sanctions while Iran was in full compliance. Constant US cheatings and efforts to deny Iran any economic benefits are the reasons why Iranians rightly prioritised on the principles of guarantee & verification

16.08.2022 - 18:08 [ Producer @CNN ]

An adviser to the Iran negotiating team in Vienna @s_m_marandi confirmed to CNN that Iran is looking for guarantees that if a future US administration withdraws from the deal the US will “have to pay a price.”

Pentagon, CENTCOM Deny Reports US Refueling Planes Took Part in Israel Iran-Strike Drill

(23.05.2022)

According to Buccino, the fuel tankers simulated refueling two US F-15s and four Israeli F-16s. The timing of the refueling exercise was coincidental, Buccino said.

“There is no direct US military involvement in that exercise,” Buccino said, referring to “Chariots of Fire.”

Pentagon spokesman Maj. Rob Lodewick also denied that the Department of Defense was “directly participating” in the exercise, according to the report.

“A small number of personnel from across US Central Command are observing portions of the exercise,” Lodewick added.

Report: In 1st, US refuelers to take part in major Israeli drill for strike on Iran

(17.05.2022)

According to the unsourced report, the US Air Force will serve as a complementary force, with refueling planes drilling with Israeli fighter jets as they simulate entering Iranian territory and carrying out repeated strikes.

The unprecedented Israel- US aerial collaboration in a drill simulating a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities is seen as a potential message to Iran amid long-stalled negotiations in Vienna over a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, a possibility Israel has repeatedly voiced its objection to, warning it would lead to “a more violent, more volatile Middle East.”

Resumption of Vienna talks awaits U.S. decision

Hadi Afghahi, a former Iranian diplomat, told the Arabic-language Iran News Agency that Mora carried two messages: One is related to Europe’s desire to import energy from Iran in light of the war in Ukraine and the other includes ideas about the IRGC designation. According to Afghahi, Mora carried American proposals that included lifting the sanctions on some Iranian entities and companies, but keeping the IRGC and some of its figures on the U.S. blacklist. The American proposals also included a paragraph calling on Iran not to avenge the assassination of top IRGC general Qassem Soleimani, according to Afghahi.

Failure to fix nuclear deal will be a gift to Trump

(22.05.2022)

Inaction by Biden and his team to fix the nuclear pact will somehow vindicate Trump for his illegal move in abrogating the hard-won agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

In that case, if Trump runs for president in 2024 elections, he will use his decision in quitting the nuclear deal in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 as a strong tool to attack Biden and his fellow Democrats and that his decision was right. Even if another hardline Republican race for the White House, he or she will also seek to justify the reckless decision.

Frauenkampftag in Wien: Demo kritischer Feministinnen

Am internationalen Frauenkampftag, dem 8. März, fanden in Wien zwei Demonstrationen statt. Eine große, „woke“ und eine kleine, „radikale“. Wir liefern Stoff von letzterer, zu der die autonomen FrauenLesben des FZ (Frauenzentrum) Wien zur Kundgebung und anschließenden Demonstration aufriefen. Der Spaltung der Szene sei ein eigener Beitrag gewidmet – hier jedenfalls ein Video von der Demo, mit Eindrücken und Inhalten der Redebeiträge:

Den Rednerinnen gegenüber stand eine Menge von rund 50-60 Personen, mit fortschreitender Zeit wurden es etwas mehr. Inhalte der Beiträge waren u.a. die prekäre Lage von Frauen seit Corona, die durch die Corona-Maßnahmen zur Arbeitszeitreduktion und „zur Rückkehr an den Herd“ gezwungen wurden, die in schlechtbezahlten Jobs (Gesundheitsbereich) unter hohen Belastungen arbeiten, die zu Tausenden ihre Jobs verloren haben und von Armut betroffen sind. Auch ein Thema der Redebeiträge war der Krieg in der Ukraine – nicht ohne Kritik an EU, USA und insbesondere der NATO.

Iran, IAEA agree on next steps to settle dispute over Tehran’s past nuclear activity

Iran and the UN nuclear watchdog said Saturday that they had agreed to an approach for resolving issues crucial to reviving the country’s 2015 nuclear accord with world powers — but new Russian demands may delay a deal.

The announcement came shortly before Russia said it would seek guarantees from the United States before it backs the deal, potentially scuppering hopes an agreement could be wrapped up quickly.

Richard Nephew, the State Department’s deputy special envoy for Iran who pushed for a tougher approach, has not been part of the talks in Vienna since early December, Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

Two other unidentified team members have stepped back from the dialogue because they also sought a tougher stance toward Iran, according to the Journal.

Menendez said the administration was “clinging” to the deal for “nostalgia’s sake” in a rebuke to the US’s indirect negotiations with Iran. “At this point, we seriously have to ask what exactly are we trying to salvage?” he said.
