Trump begins war with Iran

Robert Reich June 22, 2025: A single person — Donald J. Trump — has released the dogs of war on one of the most dangerous countries in the world, and done it without the consent of Congress, our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people.

Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace American democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused.

I share your despair, sadness, and fear. Just a week ago Saturday millions of us gathered in solidarity against Trump and for democracy, the rule of law, and social justice. Those demonstrations feel as if they occurred years ago.

Last night I spoke with a number of people experienced and knowledgeable about American foreign policy and politics. Here, in brief, is what I asked and what I learned.
