On Tuesday morning, President Trump threatened to commit mass war crimes in Iran: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” if the Iranian government did not meet his demands by 8 PM.

90 minutes before the deadline, the President announced that an agreement had been reached for a two-week ceasefire. The exact details of the deal are unclear. What is clear is that the President of the United States is conducting foreign policy by threatening genocide.

In the last 5 weeks, the governments of Israel and the United States have killed over 1,600 civilians, including 244 children, in Iran. Simultaneously, Israel has killed over 1500 Lebanese people, including 130 children, with US weapons, and ethnically cleansed South Lebanon. They have deceptively used the cover of diplomacy to assassinate Iranian negotiators and leaders. They have endangered the entire region and wasted billions of dollars. They have created an unnecessary shock on the world economy that is threatening the wellbeing of billions.

A ceasefire agreement is welcome, but it is not enough. President Trump has revealed that he is dangerously unfit for office. Tomorrow, we will join with activists across the world to call for an immediate and complete end to the illegal wars on Iran and Lebanon.
