To President Hassan Rouhani, the Leaders of Yemen, the United Nations, and world leaders everywhere:

We call on you to do everything in your power to ensure the UN is finally allowed to repair the FSO Safer oil tanker off the coast of Yemen. It's unthinkable that millions of lives could be endangered by another accidental superbomb, just months after Beirut was devastated. This destruction is entirely preventable -- and the only blocked is your political will.

Defuse Yemen's Floating Superbomb!
A rusting superbomb is floating in the red sea -- it could detonate at any second, unleashing one of the very biggest oil spills in history.

It's a leaking, abandoned oil tanker, loaded with a million barrels of oil -- and just one more electric short could ignite an explosion 100 times bigger than the Beirut blast.

The oil spill would smother the Red sea, suffocating marine life and delicate coral reefs -- while destroying the livelihoods of some 28 million people.

The tanker is caught between warring sides in Yemen's devastating civil war -- and it's already leaking.

One man could defuse the crisis. Iran's President is the biggest ally of those controlling the tanker -- if millions of us raise our voices, causing political pressure, he could use his leverage to ensure the UN is given access to make emergency repairs.

The clock is counting down... sign now and pass this on, fast!
