The Trump administration and Pentagon have moved to start a war
with Iran by assassinating Qassem Soleimani, the top military leader
of that country. If Iran openly assassinated a top U.S. general and
bragged about it, there is no question that the United States 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 that 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
Saturday, January 4 in cities across the country there will
be protests against a new war in the Middle East and calling for the
withdrawal of all U.S. troops and bases in the region.
