1. @HouseForeign demands administration's legal opinions on use of force against #Iran

Letter cites this great essay by Just Security's Brian Egan and @bridgewriter which concludes that efforts to shoehorn #IranWar into #AUMF is "thoroughly unconvincing": justsecurity.org/64645/top-expe…
2. Letter by Chairman @RepEliotEngel and @RepTedDeutch:

"Given the life-and-death stakes of the current situation between the United States and Iran, we can think of no issue where it is more imperative for the Department to explain its rationale."

11. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

#IranUpdate,
In Tehran the regime has deployed security forces on the streets to confront possible protests/unrest.
The IRI has lost its ideological, political and economic legitimacies and the only thing which can prevent its fall is use of force against people.
#Iran
According to sources Tehran Bazar is on strike. More security forces have been deployed in the past half an hour. We are trying to confirm the news of Tehran Bazar strike.
#Iran
According to sources the anger amongst people is increasing in many cities.
#IranUpdate,
A big part of Tehran Bazar have decided to go on strike. Most of the shops are closed. In the past two days, Iranian Rial has lost much of its value, prices have gone up and people can't afford buying what they need on daily bases.
