An open letter to the U.S. Congress

End the Iran War Before It Breaks Our Military

23 so far! Let’s get to 25 signers!

End this war now. The Iran conflict is destroying our military from the inside, and the Trump administration's rosy claims have been shredded by its own Pentagon inspector general. Since July 7 alone, 410 U.S. troops have been killed or wounded. NSA Bahrain — the region's most critical logistics hub — was obliterated on February 28 and still isn't operational. Rebuilding it could cost over $400 million. The Chief of Naval Operations himself said, "We're not getting back in there anytime soon." The military is running out of the weapons it needs to protect our troops. About 65 percent of Patriot interceptors have been expended, leaving fewer than 830 from a pre-war total of 2,330. The Pentagon's own inspector general confirmed "strategic inventory shortfalls" and "industrial base bottlenecks." Iran is still launching ballistic missiles at U.S. warships and bases across the region. One official warned this war could cause a complete "breakdown" in military readiness. This is not a war we are winning — it is a war that is grinding our forces down. Demand the administration negotiate an immediate end to this conflict before more lives are lost.
