President Trump’s illegal war of aggression against Iran, in cooperation with Israel, actively undermines global security, raises the long-term danger of nuclear proliferation, and risks dragging the US into another dangerous and protracted conflict. Read UCS’s statement: act.ucsusa.org/3N9e4ZE
A social media graphic shows four people standing on a hill overlooking a densely built city partially covered in smoke or haze. Below the photo, on a black background, a large quote reads: “This illegal war will not bring safety or security to the American people or its allies. Congress must exercise its responsibilities to rein in President Trump and his administration.” Beneath the quote is a small headshot of Tara Drozdenko, identified as Director of the Global Security Program, along with the Union of Concerned Scientists logo and a 2026 copyright notice.

"Tips for recording federal agents from ACLU organizers. Capture relevant details including agents’ names, badge numbers, documents, and any weapons they’re carrying. Capture context like the surrounding area. Record continuous video to capture the full sequence of events. Copy your photos or videos to other devices so they can’t be lost or deleted. Don’t delete the originals. Try to share your documentation with the impacted individual’s loved ones, their attorney, or local organizations working with impacted community members."
