International artists and intellectuals call for protection of Iranian civilians

Iran ·

A group of artists, writers, academics and cultural figures from several countries has urged that Iranian civilians be protected and that humanitarian aid reach them without restrictions. The group stressed that ordinary people must not bear the cost of political and military objectives.

Iran and the United States have been adversaries since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and tensions over Iran's nuclear programme and regional role have repeatedly raised fears of wider conflict. Civilians have often borne the impact of such confrontations.
