June 21, 2025 (Washington D.C.) – The U.S. has bombed three Iranian nuclear sites,  President Donald Trump announced tonight on social media.  The BBC confirmed the action, posting video of smoke rising above an Iranian nuclear site.

The action, done without Congressional approval, has drawn mixed reactions from lawmakers. Some praised the destruction of any potential nuclear weapons development by Iran, a state supporter of terrorism, while others voiced concerns over escalation of tensions in the region.  Some Congressional members also denounced the action as unconstitutional, since it was done without the approval of Congress, which the Constitution requires for acts of war.

IRAN-ISRAEL ESCALATION INVOLVES THE US NOW

Netanyahu has decided to wage war against Iran— specifically designed to sabotage United States international diplomacy

By Alexander J Schorr

Friday June 20, 2025 – Under the current leadership of the Trump administration, the United States risks military involvement with Iran at the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu.

One may have hoped that the international community could be working together to address the existential threat of climate change, wealth and income inequality, a better standard of living, and even stronger safeguards against future pandemics. Today, that is sadly not the case. Instead, the world now faces more war than just the illegal conflict of Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine or the horrific slaughter and starvation of Palestinian children under inhumane war policies of Israel under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu. The United States now faces a perilous escalation of war in Iran.
