“Despite the Trump-induced breakdown of the nuclear deal, there is still no legitimate reason to resort to military action. If the U.S. or Israel attacks Iran, it will be an act of illegal aggression. Obviously neither Trump nor Netanyahu cares about international law and Trump doesn’t care about the Constitution, but the rest of us should denounce these threats and reject preventive war as a policy option. Attacking Iran over a non-existent nuclear weapons program would be every bit as insane and indefensible as attacking Iraq was in 2003. Trump says that he would rather ‘have a peace deal,’ but everything he does tells us that isn’t true.” (03/10/25)
