Trump's threats towards Iran grow more dangerous

An article published on RefuseFascism.org, "Lies from the Same Lying Liars Who Sold the Invasion of Iraq," notes:

"In his May 8 announcement formally pulling the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear agreement, Donald Trump claimed:

• “Israel published intelligence documents long concealed by Iran, conclusively showing the Iranian regime and its history of pursuing nuclear weapons.”
• “The deal’s inspection provisions lack adequate mechanisms to prevent, detect, and punish cheating.”
• “The deal fail(ed) to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions”

These are not only lies, they are recycled lies – used to sell the invasion of Iraq fifteen years ago.

Add your name to the apology message Code Pink organized to the Iranian people:  "We, the people living here in the United States under the fascist Trump/Pence Regime, owe an apology to the Iranian people for the past disasters and ones to come which are being carried out in our names. We are living in terrifying times. Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement is reckless, baseless and dangerous. We cannot allow him to take us down the path towards war with Iran. Let's reach out to the Iranian people with an apology for this unscrupulous behavior and a pledge to try to reverse this decision."
