Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Illegal War in Iran

The Trump administration just launched a series of military strikes on Iran, escalating a crisis that already threatens to spiral into a broader, catastrophic war. Explosions rocked major cities, retaliation followed, and the region now stands on the brink of a wider conflict that could pull in neighboring countries and put American troops and civilians in grave danger.

The Constitution is clear: only Congress has the power to declare war. Yet President Trump ordered these strikes without congressional authorization, bypassing the very branch of government charged with preventing unilateral, endless wars. No president should have the power to drag the nation into war without a debate and vote by the people’s representatives.

In the coming days, the House is expected to vote on a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to block Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran. Crucially, some Republicans are joining Democrats in support, recognizing that this is bigger than party politics. It’s about defending the Constitution and preventing another disastrous, open-ended conflict in the Middle East.

The hypocrisy is staggering. Trump killed the Iran nuclear deal — an agreement that was working to restrain Iran’s nuclear program — and then falsely claimed he had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capacity in a strike last year. If that were true, we wouldn’t be on the brink of war today. His reckless dismantling of diplomacy helped create this crisis.

And as scrutiny intensifies over his role in the Epstein scandal and the broader failures of his presidency, Trump is once again manufacturing chaos abroad in an attempt to dominate headlines, consume Congress, and drown out demands for accountability at home.
