Since Donald Trump came into power two years ago, he has been building towards war with Iran and his National Security Advisor John Bolton has been plotting war with Iran for decades. In 2015, Bolton even wrote an article in The New York Times titled, To Stop Iran’s Bomb, Bomb Iran. While the world is still dealing with fallout from the Iraq war, it’s shameful that The New York Times would repeat Bolton’s false statements instead of doing its job to question, analyze, and debunk the lies. As a leading media publication, the New York Times must not repeat the same mistakes that lead to the U.S. war with Iraq. Send them a message now!
Along with endlessly worrying that at any moment there will be war in Iran, I’ve been communicating with friends and family there. They tell me of their struggles to pay for food and medicine because of U.S. sanctions. My aunt, who lives in Tehran and can no longer visit us in the U.S. because of the travel ban, tells me that there is a widespread fear all of a possible U.S. invasion in every conversation.
A war with Iran would be catastrophic for the entire world. We need to make our voices heard not just to the warhawks in the White House, but also to those in the media who are helping spread lies and sell war to the American people. Contact the New York Times now.
