URGENT Addendums/Updates to our proposed GIPA roadmap project, link below: 

June 15, 2025 UPDATE

As an urgent addendum to our below-proposed GIPA roadmap project, we call for an immediate ceasefire on both sides (Israel/U.S. and Iran), while also urging an immediate return to diplomacy, especially between the U.S. and Iran.  

June 24, 2025 UPDATE

Hoping that the announced ceasefire is not violated (especially by Israel), we now re-emphasize, re-urge, and repeat our hoped-for principled (preferably)"Vatican-mediated" return to morally guided peace-seeking "global" diplomacy, in order to begin the painful process of healing the conflict reliably and durably--as our GIPA roadmap project (see below) has proposed.  

Aug. 20, 2025 UPDATE

While the ceasefire seems to be holding, for now, the American "maximum pressure" economic sanctions, mainly hurting the Iranian people, is being "strengthened" with cruelty, while the "psychological warfare" campaign by all sides of the conflict continues.  

On behalf of the Peace-seeking Iranian Veterans, 

Moji Agha (author of the GIPA "roadmap" proposal)
