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

Impeach President Trump for Threatening War Crimes Against Iran

21 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am calling on you to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump for threatening war crimes against Iran. His repeated threats to bomb Iranian bridges and power plants are not just reckless rhetoric—they are themselves violations of international law. According to retired Lieutenant Colonel Rachel VanLandingham, a former Air Force officer and current law professor, Trump's threats constitute war crimes under both international and U.S. law. The law of war explicitly prohibits measures of intimidation against civilian populations, including threats whose primary purpose is to sow terror. Threatening to destroy infrastructure that provides electricity to hospitals, water purification systems, and homes crosses this line. Threatening to bomb every bridge and power plant would be an indiscriminate attack, a return to total warfare that modern law prohibits. We condemned Russia as a war criminal for attacking Ukrainian power plants during winter. We cannot allow our own president to threaten identical actions without consequence. War crimes have no statute of limitations and carry universal jurisdiction. Trump's threats endanger our military personnel and our standing in the world. Begin impeachment proceedings immediately.
