American diplomats just scored a historic, breakthrough win for our nation.
Through tough, courageous, and principled diplomacy, the United States and five world powers have agreed on a framework with Iran that will ensure, through rigorous inspections and verification, that Iran can have only a peaceful nuclear program.1
Diplomacy won, averting war—for now.
The remaining details of this comprehensive agreement will be worked out over the next three months. But some in Congress are already threatening to derail this, and they need to hear clearly: Let diplomacy work.

Here are the top three things to know about the agreement with Iran:2
- Ensures Iran's nuclear program is only suitable for peaceful uses
- Dramatically reduces its stockpile of nuclear material
- Allows for permanent, short-notice inspections and extensive monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations' watchdog
Bottom line, international security experts agree that this initial agreement—once implemented—will significantly reduce any risk posed by Iran's nuclear program.
Yet, Republicans and some Democrats in Congress have been relentless in their efforts to sabotage diplomatic talks with Iran. And you can bet skeptics will only push harder now that there's a framework on the table.Can you call Sen. Peters, Sen. Stabenow, and Rep. Dingell right now?

Let's be clear: There are only two alternatives to this agreement and the final round of talks—a nuclear-armed and more dangerous Iran or another costly war in the Middle East. Neither will make our nation more secure.It's up to MoveOn members to call Congress to stand strong and let diplomacy work—a phrase MoveOn members projected two evenings ago in front of the U.S. Capitol in support of Iran negotiations:
Because we know diplomacy trumps war, and a diplomatic deal with Iran will stand alongside the Camp David and Good Friday accords as a necessary and shining example of this truth. Together, we can make sure it comes to fruition.
Thanks for all you do.
