Democrats Need to Get It Together and Say ‘Stop’ to an Iran War at All Costs
The Trump administration is yet again trying to start a major war based on lies. It needs to be stopped.
The rapid fallout of the Trump administration’s shocking assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani has been both unsettling and predictable to anyone who has warned of the grave dangers of provoking a larger war with Iran.
It’s clear the Trump administration is actively deceiving the American public. It’s clear a war with Iran would be an unmitigated disaster — no matter who is in charge. The message from Democrats, and really any politician, should be simple: Stop another Middle East war at all costs.
The consequences from the Soleimani killing are unfolding so fast it’s hard to keep up. On Sunday, the Iraqi Parliament voted to expel U.S. troops from the country. The U.S. military in both Iraq and Syria announced it has halted its campaign against ISIS to prepare for an Iranian response. Iran announced it was halting its compliance with the uranium enrichment limitations of the nuclear deal (which the Trump admin unilaterally left last year anyway).
