"This is clearly an illegal war and a war of aggression.

It’s illegal in terms of international law.

It clearly is illegal in terms of domestic American law.

Special Report: U.S. & Israel Launch Unprovoked Attack on Iran, Risking Broader Regional War

The U.S. and Israel have launched an unprovoked attack on Iran striking sites across the country including the compound of Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"What is exactly the threat coming from Iran?

🚫 By the comments of the president and the administration themselves, they obliterated the nuclear program, if that’s even possible.

🚫 By the reports of the State Department, nuclear program of Iran was a civilian program.

🚫 Iran has posed no harm or threats to the U.S. homeland.

(...)

🚫 And also to do it in the middle of negotiations. The last round of negotiations just happened in Geneva (...)"
