After the 2024
election, the White House website described what it called Donald \Trump’s
“mandate,” beginning with “putting a stop to endless wars.” Nevertheless, on
Feb. 28, the United States and Israel began an unprovoked war with Iran by
bombing strikes that not only destroyed military targets but killed thousands
of Iranians, including the country’s Supreme Leader and much of its other
leadership as well as many civilians. A first day strike on a primary school
reportedly killed 170 children. Trump then threatened to destroy an entire
civilization if Iran did not capitulate.
