A genocidal threat from a U.S. president is beyond dangerous. Escalating strikes while threatening to wipe out an entire civilization puts innocent Iranian civilians and Americans at risk.Β These are intentional war crimes. We need to invoke the 25th Amendment now to stop these violations.

Oil from an Iranian ship struck near the Strait of Hormuz threatens to poison one of the region's most important wetlands. Local fishing communities depend on the mangrove forest for food. If oil reaches them, it's likely to kill the fish they need to survive.
