AFSC & Coloradans For Immigrant Rights

This morning, President Trump threatened to wipe out Iran’s “whole civilization.” He said the U.S. will bomb bridges, power plants, and other Iranian civilian infrastructure if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz by 8:00 PM tonight.
 
The President is explicitly threatening war crimes and genocide.
 
The U.S. and Israel are already committing war crimes in Iran and across the region, including the bombing the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girl’s School, Kharg Island, bridges, and rail infrastructure. The war itself is illegal under international law; it is an aggressive war of choice launched by the U.S. in the midst of nuclear nonproliferation negotiations with Iran.
 
In southern Lebanon, Israel is carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign. Whole communities have been destroyed, and Israel has said that as many as 600,000 people will not be allowed to return to their homes.
 
Israel and the U.S. have already killed over 2,000 Iranians and 1,500 people in Lebanon, and Iranian retaliatory strikes have killed people across the Gulf region. The escalating war also marks an expansion of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, where Israel has killed over 72,000 Palestinians.
 
Trump’s threats against Iran come as the U.S demands that Iran unconditionally open the Strait of Hormuz–which was open before the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran last month.  War crimes and threats of genocide will not open the Strait. The fastest way to open the strait fully and prevent more death and destruction is to immediately end the war on Iran.  
 
The greatest threat to global stability is not Iran, but rather U.S. and Israeli actions which put the whole world at risk.
 
It is beyond time for action. Congress must immediately demand an end to this war, must enforce their war powers, and must hold those responsible for war crimes to account, including through use of the 25th Amendment. And until Congress takes action, people must make their voices heard by contacting their representatives, protesting, and engaging in nonviolent direct action to bring this war to an end.
