“The reckless, illegal U.S. bombing of Iran on Saturday night opens another new and profoundly dangerous phase of conflict across the Middle East, and potentially even further. This was an act of war, launched in violation of both United States and international law. While various White House officials claimed during the first hours after the bombing was announced that this would be a ’one and done’ operation, and that no more strikes were planned, this is in fact the beginning of what is likely to be a medium-to long-term U.S. war. … Just 24 hours before the U.S. bombing raids, the head of the Israeli military warned its population of the need to prepare for a long war.” (06/22/25)
