Over 250 US groups urge Congress to halt Iran war funding More than 250 organisations have signed a letter urging the US Congress to halt funding for the US-Israel war on Iran, arguing that the conflict is diverting billions of dollars from urgent domestic needs. Co-president of Public Citizen, Robert Weissman, said, “More money for the Pentagon will serve to extend and escalate an illegal, unpopular, and devastating war – as well as pave the way for still more Pentagon funding requests."  “The $11.3 billion spent on the first six days of the war would, for example, be enough to restore food benefits to the four million people,” Weissman said. Organisations signing the letter include the American Civil Liberties Union, Oxfam America, National Nurses United, Greenpeace and Jewish Voice for Peace.
