Friends approved the following minute:
Western Quarterly Meeting feels compelled to express our deep concern over the action willfully taken by the leaders of our country to bomb Iran in June 2025 that may be the first step toward another virtually endless war. As a religious community historically committed to peaceful settlement of global differences we are obligated to object. We urge other Meetings to join us in communicating our repudiation of this military action to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in the interest of creating a broadened advocacy for peaceful resolution of this still resolvable conflict and in endorsing the vigorous actions of the Friends Committee on National Legislation condemning the government’s choice to join, rather than abstain, from combat.
