#NoWarOnIran

The Trump administration and Pentagon have moved to start a war with Iran by assassinating Qassem Soleimani, the top military leader. If Iran openly assassinated a top U.S. general and bragged about it, there is no question that U.S. would initiate full scale war.

Trump and the Pentagon have acted illegally, in violation of the Constitution, the War Powers Act and international law. The targeted assassination and murder of a central leader of Iran is designed to initiate a new war.

Unless the people of the United States rise up and stop it, this war will engulf the whole region and could quickly turn into a global conflict of unpredictable scope and potentially the gravest consequences.

The Pentagon high command is recklessly bragging about this illegal, targeted assassination in the most crude and false manner. “This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans,” stated the lying generals. They know the objective of the strike is just the opposite.

They want a war with Iran – a country of more than 80 million people. Trump wants it too because he thinks it will guarantee his re-election in 2020.

For all who believe in peace, for all who are opposed to yet another catastrophic war, now is the time to take action. On Sat, Jan 4 in cities across the country there will be protests against a new war in Middle East and for the withdrawal of all U.S. troops, bases in the region

Initiators for this call include the ANSWER Coalition, @codepink, @PopResistance, @WorldBeyondWar and many other anti-war and peace organizations.
