Israel Is Dragging The United States Into Another War: Demand President Trump Stop The Needless Acts of War NOW Dear Email, Israel has unleashed a catastrophic assault on Iranian cities, deliberately targeting residential neighborhoods and civilian areas with U.S.-supplied weapons. Iranian health officials report at least 78 civilians killed, including children, with 329 injured, as American-made bombs are devastating apartment complexes and homes across Tehran. This is not a military operation; instead, it is an attack on civilian areas executed with full U.S. knowledge and support. In response, President Trump called these attacks on residential areas “excellent” and promised that there was “more to come.” Meanwhile, a U.S. source confirmed America provided “exquisite intelligence” to enable this incredible act of regional aggression. President Trump cannot deny involvement, as earlier this year, his Administration bypassed Congress to rush $4 billion in emergency weapons to Israel, including the same 2,000-pound bombs that obliterated entire neighborhoods in Gaza.  Only Congress has the power to authorize acts of war. Yet, like President Biden, Trump has shredded this fundamental principle, implicating the United States in military action against Iran without consulting Congress. President Trump is continuing to publicly endorse continued attacks and commits America to Israel’s defense “if needed,” committing our military to a conflict that Congress never approved. This is precisely the unchecked executive war-making our Founders sought to prevent, yet Trump acts as if the Constitution doesn't exist, risking American lives for Israel's expansion while lying to the American people about his commitment to peace. For 18 months, we watched in horror as U.S. weapons have been used, and continue to be, to commit genocide in Gaza. American weapons have been used to bomb hospitals, homes, and schools in Gaza—now they’re being used to do the same in Iran. Experts have argued that Israel’s genocidal violence would not be limited to Gaza, and now we’re seeing that prediction come true. Across the region once again with U.S. weapons, enabled by an administration circumventing Congress in order to prioritize a foreign nation over American interests, Israel is bombing Iran. The IAEA, the international agency charged with inspecting nuclear weapons and technology, has warned that Israel’s strikes on nuclear facilities risk catastrophic regional contamination. Iran has already launched 100 drones in retaliation. If those drones hit American bases, if our soldiers die, and gas prices soar and our national security is compromised, that blood will stain the hands of every official who failed to stop this illegal aggression. Contact your Members of Congress using our action tool, and urge your friends and family to do the same. Let them know that we will not rest until they exercise their Constitutional duty to stop this unauthorized war and protect lives, whether American or otherwise. Thank you for taking action.
In solidarity,
