An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

End the Iran War — Trump Has No Strategy and No Exit

377 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

This war needs to end. Trump launched military strikes against Iran without a coherent strategy, without a credible threat to justify it, and without the public support that any sustained military campaign requires. Bombing hasn't worked. Diplomacy has stalled. Now his aides are reportedly showing him charts about sanctions to convince him economic pressure might do what airstrikes couldn't. That's not a war plan — that's a president being managed by staff who know they're losing. What makes this worse is that a framework already existed. The Iran nuclear deal was a functioning diplomatic achievement, and Trump scrapped it for no reason beyond erasing Obama's legacy. He handed away our leverage, then started a war he had no idea how to finish. Now he's floating the idea of claiming the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory and telling Americans to be grateful they're only paying "a tiny little bit more for your gasoline." The public isn't buying it — polls show this war has been less popular than any comparable conflict at its outset. Congress needs to act. Use your authority to demand a clear accounting of the war's objectives, costs, and exit conditions. The American people deserve more than a president who misremembers Vietnam casualties by 140,000 and thinks a short war is automatically a good one. Push for a diplomatic resolution now, before this drags on any further.
