The escalating U.S.-Israeli aggression toward Iran risks triggering a global economic catastrophe and humanitarian disaster. President Trump’s saber-rattling, including threats to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, marks a reckless provocation, especially as he ignores intelligence assessments confirming Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons. 

Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Iran—now in its sixth day—has killed over 580 civilians and wounded more than 1,300, including journalists and children. These brutal, targeted assassinations, often flattening entire apartment blocks to eliminate a single official, mirror the genocidal tactics Israel has employed in Gaza and Lebanon. Netanyahu’s regime, propped up by U.S. weapons and impunity, is committing modern-Holocaust. 

Senator Tim Kaine rightly warns that U.S. entry into a third Middle East war since 2001 would be a catastrophic blunder. Even prominent conservatives like Tucker Carlson are questioning the hawks driving this path to annihilation. Iran’s response has been restrained but resolute. Professor Mohammad Marandi reports that Israeli strikes have united Iran’s people. The threat of full-scale war, including Iran’s potential targeting of U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf, could decimate oil and gas infrastructure and cripple the global economy. A U.S.-Iran war would not just inflame the region—it could trigger a depression worse than the 1930s. 

The U.S. must immediately stop arming Israel, reject Netanyahu’s genocidal ambitions, and pursue diplomacy over destruction. Supporting more war in the Middle East is not just immoral—it is suicidal.
