The U.S. War on Iran Is Based on Lies
The Trump administration’s ever-changing rationales for going to war against Iran are lies. Iran posed no threat to the United States. The attacks are not a defensive war, but rather a war of choice by Israel and the U.S., a war of aggression, a war for regime change – very much like the disastrous U.S. wars that killed millions of people in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan – wars that many veterans remember with regret.
Iran Was Not Seeking to Build a Nuclear Weapon
Iran has no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons, as Iranian leaders have repeatedly stated. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told a Senate hearing in March 2025 that there was no indication Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapons program, at least not since 2003.
The U.S. Nuclear Weapons Direction is More Dangerous than Iran Ever Could Be
The United States is the only country to attack another nation with nuclear weapons, has unilaterally abrogated multiple arms control treaties, and is investing Two Trillion Dollars in a new generation of nuclear weapons. It was the U.S., not Iran, that violated and withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA). Israel also has nuclear weapons – undeclared and uninspected. Two nuclear powers attacking Iran, claiming to stop it from pursuing a nuclear program, is the height of hypocrisy.
The U.S. War on Iran Is Illegal
The U.S. war is a violation of the UN Charter. Article 2(4) of the UN Charter states, “All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state…”
The U.S. War on Iran is Unconstitutional
The unilateral war of aggression against Iran is a blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution, which explicitly grants Congress the sole authority to declare war (Article I, Section 8). This power was intentionally given to the legislative branch to prevent unilateral military action by a single executive.
Congress Should Vote YES on Iran War Powers Resolutions
Congress must uphold its Constitutional responsibility to decide whether and when the United States will go to war by voting YES on Iran War Powers Resolutions that are being put before the Senate and the House of Representatives. As the U.S. war against Iran is clearly illegal, unconstitutional, and not in the interests of the people of the United States, we should demand that our congressional representatives speak out loudly against this regime-change war of aggression.
Military Members Have the Right to Refuse and Resist this Illegal War
U.S. armed service members have the right and the duty to resist and refuse illegal orders. Veterans For Peace will support members of the military who refuse illegal orders or who protest and stand against this disastrous war.
Civilians Also Have the Responsibility to Resist
Veterans and civilians also have the right and the responsibility to resist the illegal actions of our government at home and abroad. This war is at a very critical moment in the history of the United States and the world. We must be in the streets protesting. We must be on our phones telling our representatives to Vote Yes on the Iran War Powers Resolutions. We must be on our keyboards, writing letters to the editors. Tell them:
WE DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE HALT TO U.S. MILITARY ATTACKS ON IRAN!
Facts and Myths
The Resist U.S. Led War Movement has compiled useful responses to popular myths and lies about Iran.
If you would like to speak to someone who has been in the military about it and their experience, please send us an email with your name and phone number. A veteran member of VFP92 will call you. truthinrecruiting@vfp92.org
