The United States and Israel have launched a brutal and unprovoked war against Iran. The United States tricked Iran by engaging Iran in negotiations over Iran’s nuclear energy program for civilian purposes in order to lower Iran’s guard against an attack. So far, the United States and Israel have murdered Iranian scientists, government officials, military officers, and civilians in the massive bombing campaign that Israel is carrying out with support from the United States.

Since the early 1990s, Israeli Prime Minister and de-facto United States President Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Iran is on the verge of obtaining a nuclear weapon. There is no credible evidence to back the allegations that Iran, which is a signatory of the The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), has ever sought nuclear weapons. Instead, Iran has a civilian nuclear program for energy purposes. Furthermore, Iran’s leader, Ali Khamenei, has issued a religious decree against the acquisition, development, and use of nuclear weapons on religious grounds.

On the other hand, the United States dropped two atomic weapons on civilian populations in Japan in 1945 and possesses thousands of nuclear weapons. Israel with the assistance of the United States has about 100 nuclear weapons and refuses to sign the NPT.

Yesterday, Israel’s puppet Donald Trump directly attacked Iranian nuclear sites in violation of domestic and international law. How is waging war on Iran on behalf of Israel putting “America first?” We should remember that the “America first” movement recognized that World War I was a catastrophe of epic proportions that was waged for the benefit of big government and big business.  The “America first” movement wanted to avoid the mistake of involvement in another catastrophic World War.

We are being neo-conned again into another illegal war of aggression based on lies. It is time to demand the immediate removal from office of the treasonous Netanyahu/Trump administration.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez correctly stated, “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
