Reports and statements indicating that Donald Trump may be considering strikes on Iranian infrastructure have alarmed people around the world who fear rapid escalation, civilian harm, and a widening war.
At moments like this, the role of the press—and the voice of the public—are critical.
We urge news organizations everywhere to intensify scrutiny, demand clarity, and press for answers about the human, legal, and strategic consequences of any such action. Military decisions made in hours can shape suffering for generations.
We call on Americans and U.S. allies to raise their voices now for restraint, diplomacy, and accountability. War is not an abstraction. It brings civilian death, regional instability, economic shock, and lasting moral cost.
This is a moment to insist on transparency, lawful conduct, and de-escalation before irreversible steps are taken.
All of us, along with our allies, must break our silence and urge President Trump to reconsider any threat to strike Iran’s infrastructure. The U.S. military should be used only for the defense of the United States. With a military budget already near $1 trillion, many believe resources could be better directed toward supporting Americans at home rather than engaging in conflicts abroad.
The urgency is immediate. Contact members of Congress and the White House to express your views and call for restraint.
This is a moment to show that might does not make right.
