Trump’s threats to commit war crimes against #Iran this week previews that war could be his “October surprise.” Here are the experts you should be following to get smart on what& #39;s happening and why we must all demand #NoWarWithIran. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">THREADhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">

Trump’s tweet threat isn& #39;t out of the blue – he’s been escalating tensions w/ #Iran + instituting divisive domestic policy like the #MuslimBan, driving harassment + Islamophobia, all along. For a better US policy toward Iran, follow: @ManaKharrazi @suzannedimaggio @barbaraslavin1

Iran, like any country, has its own interests/domestic constituencies to respond to. Trump’s actions allow the gov& #39;t to distract from domestic outrage over #humanrights + #corruption. For analysis on modern day Iran, follow: @AssalRad @ArianeTabatabai @nargesbajoghli @manimostofi

Of course none of this would be happening if Trump hadn’t unilaterally violated the #IranDeal #JCPOA in May 2018. For why returning to the deal must be a key first step to de-escalating tensions, follow: @jabdi @KelseyDav @JarrettBlanc

Reported retaliations for the #Soleimani assassination exposes the failure of Trump’s disastrous “maximum pressure” #sanctions campaign. On why that policy has been disastrous for global security + the lives of everyday people in #Iran, follow: @ahandjani @TylerCullis @sepehrifar

Trump’s march to war and devastating sanctions is also impacting people here in the US. For more on the mutually reinforcing nature of Trump’s militarism towards #Iran + his Islamophobic policies + deportation machine here at home, follow: @ashahshahani @Nahid_Solta @hodakatebi

We stopped a march to war with #Iran in January by mobilizing across the country to demand #NoWarWithIran. We’re ready to do it again to stop Trump’s potential #OctoberSurprise. https://twitter.com/WinWithoutWar/status/1306328775949537281?s=20">https://twitter.com/WinWithou...
