Washington, D.C. | President Donald Trump’s uncalculated decision to bomb Iran has set a dangerous cycle in motion, which led to Iran bombing Qatar. We condemned the initial decision to bomb Iran and, now, condemn Iran’s retaliatory strike on Qatar. These military actions endanger civilian lives, violate the sovereignty of Qatar and all Arab nations, and threaten to plunge the region into a broader conflict.
We welcome and are cautiously optimistic about news of a ceasefire, and urge President Trump to immediately pursue the same in Gaza and Lebanon. Long-lasting peace cannot be achieved without first securing an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon. We ask President Trump to take all steps to immediately halt further military operations and pursue urgent diplomatic channels to secure a lasting peace across the Middle East.
ADC calls on President Trump to put America First by not engaging in the wars of others, and urge all parties to de-escalate tensions and resolve their differences through dialogue, not violence.
