"The U.S. and Israel opened this war by launching attacks across Iran on the morning of February 28. As of March 3, at least 787 Iranians have been killed, including well over 100 people - mostly girls - at a school in Minab. Iran is now following through on the retaliation that it promised, and has launched missiles toward at least seven countries."
"President Donald Trump's unprovoked assault on Iran is the latest phase of a rampage in which the administration is making war and militarism central features of life in the United States. While the Pentagon's violence has been unavoidable for many people around the world, it has largely been hidden from the view of most of the U.S. population."
"By doing so, he has exposed the deeply unpopular and undemocratic nature of U.S. foreign policy. In this moment, antiwar organizers must seize upon this new awareness and outrage to build movements against escalating U.S. militarism."
The U.S. and Israel initiated military attacks on Iran on February 28, resulting in at least 787 Iranian deaths, including over 100 people at a school in Minab. Iran retaliated by launching missiles toward seven countries, with at least six U.S. troops killed. Trump and Netanyahu vowed to continue bombing, escalating the conflict. While aggressive U.S. military action predates Trump, his administration is making militarism a central feature of American life and exposing the unpopular nature of U.S. foreign policy. Antiwar organizers must leverage this heightened public awareness to build movements against escalating militarism.
