Letters: Trump's attack on Iran makes Mideast less safe
Briefly

The article discusses the implications of Donald Trump's bombing of Iran, arguing that this act destabilizes the Middle East and forces Iran to consider developing its own nuclear arsenal for protection. Additionally, the commentary highlights issues with Oakland’s pension funding, accusing the City Council of corruption through a conflict of interest, as their campaign funds come from those they grant benefits to. The letter calls for an end to arms sales to Israel and emphasizes the importance of good faith diplomacy in resolving conflicts.
Donald Trump's illegal and unprovoked bombing of Iran will further destabilize an already fragile Middle East. Despite Trump's public statement, bombing Iran is a declaration of war against Iran.
What is needed immediately are: an end to U.S. arms to Israel, which are also being used to attack Iran; an end to bombing Iran; and critically, good faith diplomacy.
The City Council that gives out these generous benefits gets most of their campaign money to run for office from the very people that they are giving the benefits to.
It's a simple truth. I'll help you get elected and you give me unaffordable benefits. It's corruption at its best.
