Even wars have rules.
The Geneva Conventions protect civilians in conflict and help ensure assistance reaches those in need, without discrimination.

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.

We don’t need punditry from you, Senator. We need you to call for, and take, action: call for 25th amendment, call for impeachment, organize protests, *do* something.

This is an extremely sick person. Each Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence of whatever the hell this is.

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.

What are they waiting for...?
As trump himself said, "when crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen."

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

No reporters present called this out? Trump is waging indiscriminate war on Iranian civilians and critical civilian infrastructure as well as universities and cultural sites. What is he talking about?

JUST IN: First Lady Melania Trump and the President vow to keep fighting for the future of children in Iran: "We're fighting for children that are now in a war zone. We're keeping them as safe as we can possibly keep them. But we're fighting for their parents, their grandparents. We're fighting for them. We're fighting for their future."

Disgraceful!
The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.
It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov
And Trump just bombed it...
