Senator Bernie Sanders has denounced the US attack on Iran...
In a statement on social media, in which he called on his colleagues in the US Senate to deny the authorization for war Trump has not sought, Sanders wrote:
“President Trump, along with his right-wing extremist Israeli ally Benjamin Netanyahu, has begun an illegal, premeditated and unconstitutional war. Tragically, Trump is gambling with American lives and treasure to fulfill Netanyahu’s decades-long ambition of dragging the United States into armed conflict with Iran,” Sanders said.
“The Senate must reconvene immediately and vote on a pending War Powers Resolution which I will strongly support,” he added, before noting that “this attack against Iran is a clear violation of international law and will create increased instability in an already dangerous world.”
“The American people were lied to about Vietnam. The American people were lied to about Iraq. The American people are being lied to again today and once again, it is ordinary people who will pay the price,” he added. “We must not allow Trump to force us into another senseless war. No war with Iran.”
