Unwritten Lives

Congratulations pour in from across EU, with leaders from Spain, Poland, France, Britain, Denmark, Romania, Sweden and beyond hailing a new chapter

While the United States has issued only eleven formal declarations of war since 1776, it has engaged in more than four hundred military interventions. This staggering disparity underscores a pattern: the country’s most consequential conflicts rarely pass through constitutional channels but emerge from executive prerogative, shifting geopolitical anxieties, and the entrenched interests of its security establishment. The attack on Iran fits squarely within this tradition.

On Wednesday 4 March the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, became the only European leader to stand up to US President, Donald Trump, opposing the war in Iran. Read his full statement here.

The Middle East is being set alight by the US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Already hundreds of civilians have been killed. We condemn the bombing and demand the UK government oppose these illegal attacks on a sovereign country. Demonstrations are taking place across the UK. Join the demo in central London on Saturday 7 March at 12:00 noon.

On 28 February, the Trump administration along with Israel launched an unprovoked, illegal war on Iran. Immediately, people across the US hit the streets to express the majority sentiment in the country: rejecting another endless war for regime change! Continue this anti-war outpouring this Monday as part of a coordinated day of action.
