Veterans For Peace condemns the unilateral, immoral, and criminal U.S. bombing on the sovereign nation of Iran. June 21, 2025 will be remembered as the day the U.S. once again chose war over diplomacy, unleashing consequences we may come to regret. The United States deliberately carried out an unprovoked attack on the sovereign nation of Iran in total violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the U.S. Constitution. This is not only a provocation—this is a moral failure.
The pretext of Iran’s alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons is a familiar lie. Just like Iraq in 2003, we are being dragged into war based on deliberate deception. The aggressors in this reckless escalation are the United States and Israel. They have lit the fuse for a wider regional war, putting U.S. service members and countless civilians in immediate danger. As veterans who know the tragic cost and futility of war, we urge all people of conscience to reject this madness.
VETERANS FOR PEACE DEMANDS THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT:
- Refrain from any further aggression against Iran
- End U.S. Support for Genocide in Gaza
