US lawmaker introduces bill to limit Trump’s power to strike Iran
Congressman Thomas Massie, a member of Trump’s Republican Party, has introduced a measure that would require the US president to seek the approval of Congress before attacking Iran.
The bill orders Trump to “terminate” any attacks on Iran that are not authorised by lawmakers.
On Monday, a similar measure was introduced in the Senate.
While the proposed legislation would likely face a presidential veto if Congress approves it, advocates said the effort could add to the pressure Trump is facing from opponents of war with Iran.

They want a government that works on these issues.
Considering Americans pay for the entire government and government salaries…

Ex-IAEA chief warns Israeli attacks may encourage countries to seek nukes
Mohamed el-Baradei, who won a Nobel Peace Prize as the head of the UN nuclear watchdog in 2005, says Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities are illegal.
He warned that the assault on Iran “is a sure way to destroy” the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, saying that it “sends a clear message to many countries that their ‘ultimate security’ is to develop nuclear weapons”.
For #Israel to attack #Iran including its nuclear facilities (prohibited by international law) and for #Trump to ask Iran for “total surrender” and forgo a treaty right (uranium enrichment) in a clear act of national humiliation, on suspicion that it is developing nuclear weapons…

Just add it to the list of institutions Israel and the US already have destroyed, UN/UNSC, UNWRA, International Humanitarian Law, International Aid, ICJ, ICC. Everything that was put up after WW2 to prevent further genocides and WW3 from happening.
