“Iran’s theocratic dictatorship is murderous and illegitimate and should not last for one more second. Donald Trump’s war on Iran’s theocratic dictatorship is murderous and illegitimate and should not last for one more second. A parallel is not moral equivalence, which is why it’s tricky to articulate all the ways Trump’s war is disastrous. That thousands of Iranians have been killed by their government under Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s reign means his death is no cause for tears. But because Trump’s stated objectives are cynical and insincere, his war lacks any legal basis, and his expectations are ignorant of everything history teaches about war’s consequences, we should be disturbed by what follows this initial assault and targeted assassination.” (03/03/26)
