DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nIsraeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant vows an Israeli 
 strike against Iran will be "lethal, precise and surprising” in the wake 
 of Iran sending hundreds of missiles into Israel to target military 
 facilities. Iran’s missile barrage was in retaliation for the "violation 
 of Iran’s sovereignty and the martyrdom” of Hamas political leader 
 Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed by an explosion in Tehran–and in response 
 to the Israeli air strike in the southern suburbs of Beirut that killed 
 hundreds of people. \n\nEven as Israel commits genocide in Gaza and bombs 
 Lebanon and Syria, President  Biden reaffirms his “ironclad” support 
 during a 30-minute phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Biden 
 insists he will not support an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear 
 facilities and oil installations–but Biden has reversed himself before so 
 it’s anyone’s guess whether he will stick to his red line and what 
 iron-clad support looks like when it comes to Israel.\n\nJoin CODEPINK 
 Congress for a discussion of Iran: What’s next?\n\nSpecial
