Tell Congress: No War With Iran

This weekend, on June 21, President Trump announced that the U.S. had bombed three separate nuclear facilities in Iran using bombs that have never been deployed before. The bombing is a significant escalation in a region already at war and jeopardizes ongoing diplomatic negotiations for nuclear disarmament.

As Pope Leo XIV said on Sunday, “War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal.”

The United States and Israel, both nuclear powers, have not provided evidence of an imminent threat from Iran, which had not yet developed nuclear weapons and some say is now more likely to seek to do so. The U.S. bombing violates international law and embroils the United States in a war between Israel and Iran that is ongoing, making the entire region and the world less safe.

In addition to causing catastrophic harm, this operation violates Constitutional law that gives Congress alone the power to declare war.

Write to Congress to ask for their vote in favor of the War Powers Resolution, reclaiming the authority to avert war, and urge against endless wars in the Middle East.
