Submission History: Motion by Councillor Leòdhas Massie:- Council condemns the American-Israeli attack on Iran. We recognise that these attacks are a sickening attempt by the leaders of the US and Israel to distract from domestic pressure following a slew of scandals and poor popularity. Council rejects fabricated fears that Iran was close to developing nuclear missiles as justification for this attack. Council notes that the US' actions have further destabilised the region and by drawing in a rogue nuclear state like Israel have made nuclear attacks more likely than they previously were. Council condemns the USA for its targeting of civilians, which is widely believed to have included the killing of at least 170 people, mainly school children, in a single attack that its government continues to refuse to take responsibility for. Council recognises that the merciless killing of Iranian civilians at a crucial juncture in the movement to throw off the oppressive government of the Islamic state has likely set back the liberation of Iranian society by years. Council further notes with great concern the cynical opportunism of pro-Israeli actors in Glasgow who are operating under the banner of Iranian liberation to intimidate and threaten our Muslim community through 'demonstrations' outside mosques. Council condemns the continued use of Prestwick Airport by US military aircraft and calls on the Scottish government to do more to curtail its use for this purpose. Council notes the Scottish Government's support for the UN treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and its position of advocating for the withdrawal of Trident nuclear weapons from HM naval base Clyde. We pay tribute to longstanding anti-nuclear and peace activist Brian Quail who sadly passed away in February 2026. Council applauds his commitment to making Glasgow, Scotland and the world a safer place by campaigning to remove nuclear weapons from the Clyde. Council notes that nuclear materials regularly pass through Glasgow in convoys from England to Coulport, endangering the lives of our citizens. One such convoy was filmed on 19th February on the M74 near Kinning Park. Trident Ploughshares report that these convoys travel through Glasgow roughly 6 times every year. Council instructs the Leader of the Council to write to the UK Government requesting that it sign up to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and begin making arrangements to remove Trident from Scotland. Council condemns and calls for an end to the convoy of nuclear weapons passing through the Glasgow local authority area" . Help Icon
