With Iran's civilian nuclear program having been singled out for referral to the United Nations Security Council, destructive sanctions and/or military action against Iran seem imminent. In this context, any U.S. policy that paves the way for the use of nuclear weapons is particular cause for alarm. Present U.S. war strategy clearly states its preparedness to make pre-emptive 'first strikes' using either conventional or 'tactical' nuclear weapons or both.
The use of nuclear weapons would mean that the U.S. will have crossed a red-line in which nuclear weapons would be used aggressively against a non-nuclear nation. I urge you to take note of this alarming development in official U.S. policy and to meet your responsibilities to the electorate in revealing its dire implications.
The United Kingdom is not at war with Iran. Please ensure that Premier Blair and his cabinet do not cooperate in any way with the U.S. should it decide to attack Iran. The use of United Kingdom bases, radar and other facilities should be denied the U.S. Should Her Majesty's Government fail to do so it will have become accomplice to another international war-crime.
I appeal to you to do everything you can to ensure that such an unacceptable state of affairs will not be allowed to develop.

Personally I don't see letter writing as enough. I wrote a letter before Iraq and got a reasonable reply. Letter bombs perhaps, anything's better than nukes.

How about a Security Council Resolution barring the US from attacking Iran ... ?
