We cannot let history repeat itself, says US senator
FORT WORTH, Texas — Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday drew similarities between the US's air strikes in Iran this weekend and the invasion of Iraq in 2003, telling a Texas crowd that 'we cannot let history repeat itself.' The progressive Vermont senator, speaking at a town hall in Fort Worth as part of his 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour, highlighted how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump used similar language around the strikes in Iran to what Netanyahu and then-President George W. Bush said surrounding the US's invasion of Iraq in 2003. Sanders quoted a Netanyahu congressional testimony from 2002, in which the Israeli leader said, 'There is no question that Saddam [Hussein] is seeking nuclear weapons.' Sanders then emphasized how 'George Bush said, 'Saddam's regime is seeking a nuclear bomb,' and he argued for a preemptive attack,' referencing an analogy by the then-president that the United States could not afford to wait for 'the smoking gun which could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.' 'No weapons of mass destruction were ever found,' Sanders continued. 'That war was based on a lie. A lie that cost us 4,500 young Americans, 32,000 wounded and trillions of dollars.' Bush in 2003 announced the invasion of Iraq under the pretext of disarming it from weapons of mass destruction, a claim that was later and Trump have both cited the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program, with the US president saying Saturday from the White House, 'Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's No. 1 state sponsor of terror.'Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, told the Texas crowd, 'Brothers and sisters, we cannot let history repeat itself. The United States faces enormous problems here at home. We should be spending our money and our manpower rebuilding America, not going into a war against Iran.' — CNN

Saudi Crown Prince Discusses Region's Tensions with GCC, French, Italian Leaders
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed the escalating tensions in the region following the US attacks with GCC leaders through a series of phone calls on Sunday, according to the Saudi Press Agency. Series of Phone Calls On Sunday, Saudi Arabia expressed its deep concern over the recent strikes and urged restraint to avoid more escalation, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The Crown Prince held separate telephone calls with several Gulf Cooperation Council leaders including King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa of Bahrain, Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman, Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani as well as Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Meshal Al-Sabah. Furthermore, the prince received a phone call from UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan. During the calls, the leaders discussed the latest regional developments, such as Israel's ongoing attacks on Iran and the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities earlier on Sunday. They stressed the unity and solidarity of GCC member states and emphasized the significance of collective efforts to exercise restraint, avoid further escalation, and seek diplomatic solutions to the conflict. On Sunday, Prince Mohammed also received a phone call from French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni. The calls focused on the latest developments in the Middle East and the consequences of the escalation of tensions in the region following the US strikes. US Strikes on Iran The US launched airstrikes on Sunday against Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. 'The United States showed that they have no respect to United Nations Charter. They have no respect to international law. They crossed a very big red line by attacking nuclear facilities,' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said. Moreover, Araghchi accused Trump of not only betraying Iran by abusing its commitment to diplomacy but also deceiving his own voters by implementing the wishes of a war criminal. 'He has betrayed not only Iran by abusing our commitment to diplomacy but also deceived his own voters by submitting to the wishes of a wanted war criminal who has grown accustomed to exploiting the lives and wealth of American citizens to further the Israeli regime's objectives,' he added. Israel-Iran War On June 13, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists. As a response, Iran launched a retaliatory wave of missiles against Israel and targeted Tel Aviv. Israel also killed three more Iranian nuclear scientists, bringing the total number of scientists slain to nine, Gulf News reported. Currently, both countries are trading missiles and attacks amid intensifying efforts to halt the conflict.
