Statement from September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows on the U.S. Bombing of Iran


President Trump justified the June 21st bombing of Iran as "bold, decisive action against Iran — the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism." As relatives of those killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the members of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows have learned a great deal about trying to end terrorism with war. IT DOES NOT WORK. Today Afghanistan remains under the control of the Taliban, despite U.S. boots on the ground for two decades. Years of deadly military action in Iraq brought a branch of Al Qaeda to that nation where it had not previously existed. In the years following the invasion of Iraq, outrage over U.S. warfare led to the multiplication of branches of Al Qaeda throughout the Middle East and beyond.


We unequivocally condemn the U.S. decision to enter the war that Israel initiated with Iran, a war that was already dependent on a supply of U.S. weapons and fuel. The June 21st U.S. bombings violate international law and the laws of war and will further weaken the post-WWII United Nations charter order, threatening greater international chaos and conflict. At home, they further erode our Constitution, which empowers Congress, and not the President, to declare war.


Our thoughts and concerns lie with the innocent civilians of Iran, caught in an international conflict not of their making. They are and will continue to be the victims of the fighting, dying in great numbers and losing their homes and livelihoods. U.S. military aggression will profoundly hinder their striving for democracy, women’s rights, and human rights.

The prank works because most people instinctively react when they think a smartphone screen has been damaged. Since phones are expensive devices, the sudden appearance of a cracked display often creates a moment of shock before the joke is revealed.

It's a stark reminder of the need for peaceful resolutions rather than further conflict. In moments of reflection, I often turn to activities like playing color block jam, which remind me of the importance of strategy and collaboration over aggression. We must strive for understanding and compassion, especially for those caught in the crossfire.
