TELL CONGRESS: Israel’s airstrikes in Iran, killing top military leaders
and scores of civilians, with the tacit support of the United States, are
a dangerous escalation in Middle East hostilities. War with Iran would be
devastating for the United States and civilians across the region. Sign
the petition: Oppose Israeli strikes and assert Congress’s War Powers to
stop U.S. involvement in war with Iran.

Hi,

Israel launched airstrikes against Tehran and other parts of Iran —
bombing civilian areas and military targets.^1 Israel’s aggression is a
critically dangerous escalation in Middle East hostilities, and another
deadly attack on civilians. The attack also killed Iran’s top diplomatic
negotiator, days before Iran and the U.S. were set to meet to discuss a
deal relating to Iran’s nuclear program.^2

Congress cannot continue to let Trump enable Netanyahu’s warmaking, and
our elected leaders must prevent U.S. airstrikes on Iran. Our
Representatives and Senators must speak up for diplomacy. Congress must
reassert its war powers and stop the slide toward another disastrous,
unpopular war.

Rep. Greg Casar said that Trump "must not violate the Constitution by
involving American troops in Netanyahu's war without coming to Congress."
The chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus added that, "Netanyahu's
reckless strike risks provoking a wider war and pulling in the United
States." He urged the White House to continue pursuing diplomacy.^3

America’s War Powers belong to Congress, and no matter how much Trump and
Pete Hegseth support strikes against Iran, the House and Senate have the
power to stop it. Congress must use that power to prevent the U.S.
military from going to war with Iran.

escalations in Iran.
