""That was a threat of annihilation. That was a threat of genocide," Markey said. "That was the language of a man who is unfit to hold the nuclear codes.""
""This is Trump's war of choice," said Markey. "Only diplomacy can bring lasting peace.""
""Yes, we must assert congressional authority. Yes, we must end this illegal war," he said. "But as Congress debates a budget, we should not give this war or the Department of Defense another dime to support Trump's warmongering around the world.""
""This is dangerous for our nation. This is dangerous for our world," he said. "And faith demands that we cannot stay silent when the president becomes a liability to life here and abroad.""
Sen. Ed Markey, alongside Boston clergy and peace activists, urged for the cessation of U.S. involvement in the Iran war and called for Trump's removal from office. He condemned Trump's threatening rhetoric towards Iran, labeling it as genocidal. Markey welcomed a temporary ceasefire but maintained that Trump is unfit to serve. He advocated for a war powers resolution to limit presidential war authority and emphasized the need to cut funding for military actions linked to Trump's policies. Faith leaders supported these views, highlighting the moral implications of the conflict.
