Trump Uses Questions on Iran Attack to Hype Up His Latest Renovations

President Donald Trump dodged questions about his illegal war with Iran to praise two new statues in his paved-over Rose Garden. Arriving back at the White House Sunday evening, Trump was peppered with questions from reporters about his illegal—and sudden—aerial bombing campaign in Iran. But Trump declined to answer, and turned his attention instead to some new statues of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in the Rose Garden, CNN reported. “What are the objectives for Iran?” asked one reporter. “Mr. President, who do you want to lead Iran?” asked another. “Unbelieveable statutes, you see,” Trump mused. “Unbelievable statues.”Trump then wandered away, as the reporters continued to shout questions after him. “Mr. President, what’s your message to the families of the service members who were killed?”No response came. Trump’s refusal to answer questions betrays more than a total lack of leadership—it reveals his complete lack of compassion for the American people, who overwhelmingly disapprove of a war with Iran. Speaking Sunday in a pretaped video about three U.S. soldiers killed in the attack, Trump said, “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is.” U.S. Central Command confirmed Monday that a fourth service member died due to injuries sustained in the operation.More than 550 people were killed during a series of U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran, including 150 people, many of whom were children, at a girls’ elementary school.

Trump's War on Iran Violates International Law & U.S. Constitution: War Crimes Prosecutor Reed Brody

The United States and Israel launched a devastating war against Iran on Saturday without approval by the U.S. Congress or support from the United Nations Security Council, making President Donald Trump’s attack illegal under both domestic and international law, says veteran war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody. “The U.N. Charter is not ambiguous,” says Brody. “President Trump has presumptively committed … the international crime of aggression, as he did in Venezuela and just as Vladimir Putin did in Ukraine.”

Israel Wants Ability to Attack Anyone at Any Time: Israeli Analyst Ori Goldberg

As we continue our coverage of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, we speak with Israeli analyst Ori Goldberg in Tel Aviv. He says “there is a broad embrace of this attack” among Israelis, bringing together the country’s liberal, right-wing, religious and settler groups. “They all seem to agree, broadly and deeply, that this war is inevitable,” says Goldberg, who adds that nobody has articulated a clear strategic vision for the war. “Israel, over the past two-and-a-half years, has become exceedingly greedy. It doesn’t want to commit itself to anything. What Israel is fighting for is the right to be able to go off on such attacks whenever it wants, wherever it wants, for as long as it wants.”
