AJP Action Condemns Trump’s Reckless Strikes on Iran and Calls for an End to U.S. Military Support for Israeli Aggression [WASHINGTON D.C., JUNE 21, 2025] — Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action) unequivocally condemns President Donald Trump’s decision to launch military strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities, a reckless act of aggression that threatens to plunge the entire Middle East into an uncontrollable war. These strikes risk starting a dangerous new phase for the Middle East and Americans everywhere. The U.S. military, using B-2 stealth bombers and precision munitions, struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, reportedly killing multiple scientists and military personnel. While the Trump administration claims these attacks are preemptive, they are in fact a direct escalation that serves the political interests of the genocidal Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, not the safety or well-being of the American people. This is not about non-proliferation. This is about expanding empire and hegemony.  “Netanyahu’s war on Iran is a disaster,” said Dr. Osama Abu Irshaid, Executive Director of AJP Action. “Donald Trump has drawn the United States into a conflict that serves neither American interests nor the will of its people—one championed solely by Israel. This escalation flies in the face of repeated assessments by the U.S. intelligence community, which has consistently concluded that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon. Yet Trump rejected these conclusions in favor of Israeli disinformation. Even more troubling, he has initiated hostilities without seeking congressional authorization, in direct defiance of constitutional requirements.” Across the country, thousands of Americans are mobilizing in opposition to Trump’s war. On Saturday night, over 200 protesters rallied outside the White House, chanting “No new war in the Middle East”. Veterans, students, and activists demanded an immediate halt to U.S. arms transfers to Israel and an end to this proxy war. According to new polling, 60% of Americans across political lines oppose U.S. involvement in a war with Iran as people are seeing stories of civilian casualties and destroyed residential areas due to this needless war. Trump’s military escalation is not only illegal under international law, but unconstitutional since he did not seek Congressional authorization, which violates the War Powers Resolution. Members of Congress must act immediately to block further military actions and invoke the War Powers Resolution to stop U.S. involvement in this war. “This is not a war of necessity, but a war of choice for Trump. It is not America’s war—it is a favor to Israel’s aggression and madness. Trump must bear the consequences of his disastrous decision,” said Abu Irshaid. In solidarity,
