"Under the constitution, the power to declare war rests with Congress, not the president. Therefore, President Donald Trump's decision to launch air strikes and pursue regime change in another country without congressional authorisation is illegal. It echoes the darkest chapters of post-9/11 American foreign policy when fear and deception were used to rush our nation into disastrous wars, the price of which we are still paying today."
"On the global scale, attacking a sovereign nation or as wanted war criminal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls it, launching a preemptive strike without an imminent threat violates the United Nations Charter and fundamental principles of international law. The bombing campaign which is taking place during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, a time of increased spirituality and reflection has already stained our national conscience."
"We are told this is about security. We are told this is about stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions. But we've heard this before. For more than 30 years, Netanyahu has insisted that Iran is weeks away from a nuclear bomb. Those weeks have stretched into decades. Fear has been recycled as policy."
The United States military is conducting attacks on Iran without congressional authorization, constitutional justification, or imminent threat to national security. The campaign reflects Israeli government pressure for confrontation with Tehran rather than genuine American interests. These military actions violate the UN Charter and international law principles governing sovereign nations. The bombing campaign, occurring during Ramadan, has already caused civilian casualties including schoolchildren. Historical precedent shows similar justifications preceded post-9/11 wars with devastating consequences. Repeated claims about Iran's nuclear threat spanning decades lack credibility, with Netanyahu's longstanding predictions proving unfounded. American weapons involvement makes the nation complicit in civilian deaths abroad.
