In response to President Trump's military actions against Iranian nuclear facilities, hundreds gathered in Boston to protest what they deemed illegal intervention. Organized by the National Iranian American Council, speakers highlighted the tragic history of U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts and urged Congress to prevent further escalation. The demonstrations not only focused on the direct impact of the strikes on Iran but also criticized U.S. support for Israel's actions in Gaza, showcasing widespread discontent with U.S. foreign policy and militarization in the region.
As an Iranian-American, I know the tragic history of U.S. intervention in the region. The Trump administration is dragging the United States into another war of choice in the Middle East, without congressional authorization and in clear violation of international law. This path leads only to more suffering, especially for civilians in the region. Congress must act now to halt this march toward war and uphold our constitutional checks and balances.
Even before this bombing, the U.S. has been sponsoring Israel's illegal escalation in the region. Israel's attacks on Iran have only been possible by use of American weapons, technology, and military support.
