Trump’s reckless and illegal war has already had catastrophic impacts. This week, we honored the thousands of civilians killed across Iran, Lebanon, and the region, as well as more than half a dozen American servicemembers who have lost their lives. We must do everything in our power to push...

The U.S. has been at war with Iran for 13 days. The cost has already been horrific for our servicemembers, everyday Americans, and innocent Iranian civilians. We must end this war of choice.

As war continues to unfold, our thoughts are with the innocent civilians in Iran and across the Middle East, as well as the 85,000 Canadians in the region. We stand with Iranian Canadians with a shared hope for peace, freedom and safety for their families and friends.

Thousands of Iranian and Lebanese civilians have been killed, millions more displaced. U.S. servicemembers' lives are being put in danger. And Americans are paying the price at the gas pump. Congress must vote on a War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war now.

Joined KVUE to discuss Trump’s illegal war on Iran. Learning nothing from the disastrous war in Iraq, Trump has dragged us into another costly war, which has already claimed the lives of American service members and many innocent civilians. This will only bring more chaos and bloodshed to an already dangerous region. Congress must restrain Trump by immediately adopting a bipartisan war powers resolution.

In addition to the 13 American servicemembers who have been killed, Trump's war has resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 civilians in the region, including over 100 Iranian school kids. All of them should be alive today. To stop the killing we must end the war, NOW.

Why is this war happening? Trump’s war in Iran has been launched without giving Congress or the American people even a basic explanation of why it is happening in the first place. Six American servicemembers’ lives have already been lost—how many more will be put on the line? This war must stop.

PabloReports: What do you make of NATO refusing to go along with Donald Trump’s overtures about joining this war? Ansari: I think Donald Trump has never presented a justification to the American people for why he has embarked on what appears to be an illegal and highly reckless war—one that has already resulted in thousands of civilian deaths, not just in Iran but in Lebanon and across the region. It has left Americans stranded in the Middle East with no help from the State Department. He has not ruled out troops on the ground, and thousands of American troops are on their way to the region. Americans don’t want their sons and daughters dying in another war. And as it relates to NATO, he has consistently offended and betrayed our allies. So the expectation that NATO would now support his reckless actions is unbelievable.

Trump has repeatedly abandoned our NATO allies. He also launched an illegal, reckless war that’s already cost American lives, killed thousands of civilians, and left Americans stranded abroad. And there’s still no plan and no justification made to the American people. Insane.

The war in Iran has already killed 13 U.S. servicemembers, 168 Iranian children, and displaced millions of Iranians, wasted billions of taxpayer dollars, and put our democracy and global order at risk. This war is illegal and unconstitutional. It must end now.

Not only has this Admin launched a regime-change war of choice that the American people don't want, they can't even get their story straight about why they did it. American servicemembers and hundreds of civilians have been killed — and all they can do is lie.

Fetterman: The American media has essentially become carrying water for Iran. We have the opportunity to finish off this and to make the world more safe and more just and secure. Not just in that region but all across in the world.

The Trump Administration started this war without Congressional authorization and without an exit strategy. Make no mistake – I am firmly committed to ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon and the Iranian people deserve better than Ayatollah Khamenei, a ruthless dictator who killed thousands of innocent Iranians. But a draft-dodging President and a Secretary of War who knows more about botox than bombs have now gotten us into this war without a clear plan for what happens next. By voting against the War Powers Resolution yesterday – Mike Lawler has failed the people of NY-17 and America. That action would have forced this Administration to develop clear objectives for the way forward before conducting further military action. 6 American servicemembers have been killed and there is still no clear plan to end this conflict. American servicemembers and the American people deserve better.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran has read every signal and is pushing hard, betting the U.S. blinks before they do. Prof. Karim Bitar lays out why the off ramp exists but no one is taking it. "Trump offered an off ramp, created his own off ramp, offered Iran a clear path to a deal. And Iran seems to be like, 'hey, we know you don't want this war, so we're going to push this as far as we can.'" If this escalates, undersea cables and energy infrastructure across the region go with it. Karim Emile Bitar

The European Parliament stands with the people of Iran and condemns the regime's attacks on its own people and on civilians across the region. We will continue to push for dialogue, respect for international law, a swift conclusion to the conflict, and the right of the Iranian people to choose their own destiny in liberty.

Iran’s FM Araghchi: "In our culture, apologizing is a sign of dignity and strength" If it is assumed that Iran has attacked its neighbors, that assumption is wrong; we have not attacked our neighbors. - We have targeted American bases and facilities that unfortunately are located in the territories of our neighboring countries. Therefore, we have not targeted our neighbors; we target the Americans who have attacked us. We are responding. We were not the ones who started the war; it was the United States that started the war against us, and we are simply defending ourselves. It is clear that our missiles do not reach American soil. What we can do is target American bases and facilities around us that unfortunately are located in the territories of neighboring countries. - First, in our culture, apologizing is a sign of dignity and strength. Second, he apologized to the people of the region for the problems caused as a result of the US aggression and our response. In fact, it is the President of the United States who should apologize to the people of the region and to the people of Iran for the killings and destruction they have caused.
