A Statement on the United States’ Attack on Iran

Written By American Solidarity Party

Our party is pro-life, not pro-choice.  We believe human life is sacred and oppose wars of choice.  Among our core principles are the beliefs that “diplomatic and nonviolent means of resolution must be exhausted before violent means are considered” and that  “military action must strictly adhere to just-war principles”.  Our platform states:  “Administrations of both parties have pursued a policy of reckless overreach, at great cost to both ourselves and other nations.   We oppose this tired elite consensus and believe the United States should use its influence to promote an international order that respects the dignity of the human person through means other than aggression.” 

Accordingly, I condemn President Trump’s unilateral, unjustified, unconstitutional, and unnecessary military action against Iran and the bipartisan consensus in favor of wars of choice.  We join in the prayer of Pope Leo XIV:  “Let nations shape their future with works of peace, not through violence and bloody conflicts!”  We extend the hand of solidarity and welcome to our fellow Americans who recognize that President Trump has betrayed those who follow the Prince of Peace.

American Solidarity Party

We are a party that seeks the common good, on common ground, through common sense. We believe in the sanctity of human life, the necessity of social justice, our responsibility to care for the environment, and promotion of a more peaceful world. We cherish the individual rights and separation of government powers protected by the U.S. Constitution, and recognize the need for social supports and community cohesion. We seek to bridge the bitter partisan divide with principled and respectful policies and dialog.
