In response to U.S. airstrikes inside Iran ordered by President Trump, DAWN issued the following statements:
"Trump's unprovoked and unauthorized attacks on Iran not only violate international law but the U.S. Constitution, which grants only Congress the right to declare war," said Sarah Leah Whitson, DAWN's Executive Director. "Trump has recklessly launched a war that harms American interests in service of Israeli demands, and broken his promise to the American people to put America first."
"President Trump's actions will most likely lead to retaliation from Iran that puts American troops and citizens across the Middle East in harm's way," said Raed Jarrar, DAWN's Advocacy Director. "Congress should immediately pass a War Powers Resolution to prohibit further U.S. military involvement, even in the event of retaliation. We need de-escalation, not more bombs."
"Trump has completely folded to Netanyahu, dragging the U.S. into a war that undermines American interests," said Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man, Israel-Palestine Director at DAWN. "The UN General Assembly should immediately pass a 'Uniting for Peace' resolution to hold both Israel and the U.S. accountable and demand an end to this regime-change campaign."
