This recent justification for bombing Iran mirrors much of what we saw in Iraq.

CND's Sophie Bolt: โNuclear expansion across Europe - as well as here in Britain - will not keep our populations safe. These plans are part of a huge rearmament programme backed by new US nuclear weapons stationed at NATO bases across Europe. How on earth could siting nuclear weapons even closer to nuclear-armed Russia be a plan to secure stability and reduce tensions? This is far more likely to lead to a further escalation of tensions and increase the risk of nuclear confrontation. CND is part of a growing movement across Europe that is opposing this war drive. We need a nuclear-free Europe and a common security strategy based on peace, diplomacy, and dialogue.โ

Thereโs a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
