Trump may be about to drag the United States directly into a devastating regional war in the Middle East with an attack on Iran. In these critical days and hours, all people who oppose the war machine need to be in the streets! Protests across the country will take place June 18 as part of a national day of action.
Already, the administration has backed the brutal Israeli bombardment that has caused widespread civilian casualties—carried out with an arsenal paid for with our taxpayer dollars. But now, Trump may be on the verge of ordering direct U.S. strikes that would escalate the war to unspeakably dangerous new heights. U.S. “boots on the ground” could easily be drawn in, and war could ripple across the entire region or even the whole world. We need to take a stand and prevent this from becoming a reality!
After having committed genocide in Gaza for nearly two years, the Israeli regime is now igniting an even wider war across the Middle East with its unprovoked attack against Iran. And regime change in Iran, which controls vast oil and gas resources, has been a long-standing goal of the Pentagon and the State Department establishment. But the people of this country have nothing to gain and so much to lose if the warmongers get their way.
