The United States is now at war with Iran, and nobody knows when or how it will end. Officially, the Trump administration is reluctant to admit this is a war, preferring to use words like “operation” instead. But if we understand “war” to mean “organized killing,” no other word applies. Already, the U.S. and Israel’s missiles have struck not just military targets, but schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings across Iran. In photos, aid workers are dragging children’s stuffed animals and bloodstained backpacks from beneath the wreckage. At the time of writing, the death toll stands at roughly 1,300 Iranian civilians and 13 U.S. soldiers, and rising. Our government is massacring the people of a country that has not attacked us, in blatant violation of international law. Or, as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth proudly puts it: “Death and destruction from the sky, all day long.”
