@SecGenNATO you need to reign in your friend Trump right now. If you care about the future of Europe and this planet, get on the phone and calm this maniac down before it’s too late. ⚠️

If @POTUS is ruling out the use of nuclear weapons, he or the @VP should say so. Otherwise hyperbolic rants about destroying an entire civilization will be interpreted as a veiled threat to use nuclear weapons. The WH comms during this war has been amateur to say the least.

Literally nothing @VP said here "implies" this, you absolute buffoons

Rep. Jim McGovern
Rep. Jim McGovern@RepMcGovern·
This is pure evil. The President of the United States’ genocidal threat to commit war crimes is illegal under federal & international law. The U.S. military swears an oath to the Constitution, not the president. @thejointstaff is required to disobey any & all illegal orders. @SpeakerJohnson must immediately call Congress back to Washington & rein in this mad president.

For those hoping for a last minute 25th amendment, or Congressional action today: I’d remind you that the VP is currently in Hungary campaigning for a Putin ally, and is not present to convene the US cabinet. And Congress stands in recess. The guardrails are off.

Tabiat Bridge in Tehran is designed by Iranian female architect Leila Araghian. Trump has threatened us with "Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day". So much for saving Iranian women.

NOW IS THE TIME. All Ex-Presidents, Vice Presidents and Speakers of the House should stand up and denounce Trump threatening to use Nukes on Iran. I'm looking at you @BarackObama, @BillClinton, GWB

Israel bombed the Rafie Nia Synagogue in Tehran. Yes, you read that right. Israel bombed a synagogue. In Iran. Most Americans probably didn't know that there are ~100 synagogues in Iran, 30 of which are in Tehran.

Trump is full of bluster, but leaders of nuclear-armed states cannot, must not, threaten the end of "a whole civilization" even if they naively think a veiled n-threat is an effective negotiating ploy. Its not. It is unacceptable, and following through would be massive war crime.

Fears of a broader escalation are growing as President Trump threatened to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure. "He's both threatening a war crime, and he's engaging in a war crime through that rhetoric itself," retired Lt. Col. Rachel VanLandingham tells @IAmAmnaNawaz.

The implications of the US-Israeli bombing of Iran's Sharif University of Technology have not been appreciated by the global academic community. The university ranks 126-150 worldwide in engineering as per @timeshighered. In 2008 alone, 207 out of 1,197 Sharif graduates left Iran
