Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi urged Iran and the United States on Thursday to find a peaceful resolution to the standoff over Tehran's nuclear program, warning that military action would harm both countries' people.
Ebadi, who won the peace prize in 2003 for her work advocating greater rights for women and children in Iran, spoke at the launching of a new anti-war group that she helped create in hope of averting an Iranian-US conflict.
