June 22, 2025\u2014Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of the Schiller Institute, stated: \u201cSince the unprovoked attack on Iran, first by Israel and then by the United States, is not only tearing down the system of international law, but has put us on a course towards World War III, I am calling on all people of good will around the world to publish and circulate this statement by The LaRouche Organization in the U.S. in whatever form possible, and help us to mobilize an international united peace movement in all countries of the planet.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your life, in as little as a few days or weeks, could end in an \u201caccidental thermonuclear war,\u201d triggered by the dropping of a tactical nuclear device on Iran, either by a renegade Israel, or by the United States, or by Israel with the agreement of the United States. What happens next, will be determined by the reports regarding the successful, or unsuccessful, destruction of the sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a question: if the sites were not destroyed, or if Iran announces it is able to rebuild, what will happen then? Will the use of tactical nuclear weapons be the next step? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driving force for these events is not in \u201cthe Middle East.\u201d It is in the global shift in economic power away from the bankrupt trans-Atlantic NATO \u201cAnglosphere\u201d nations, inhabited by the \u201cgolden billion,\u201d to the seven billion other people in the world, typified by the BRICS nations. Iran, a member of the BRICS, wants nuclear power, not nuclear weapons. The intent of the War Party is to use the United States, once an anti-imperial nation, as a battering ram against the BRICS, starting with Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its attack on Iran, the United States has rejected what its greatest diplomat, President John Quincy Adams, characterized as its very nature: \u201c(America) goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy\u2026She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own\u2026she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue\u2026The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty<\/em> to force<\/em>.\u2026.She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.\u201d By breaking his pledge that he would keep the United States out of war, President Donald Trump has now fallen into the policy-grip of the War Party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think that means \u201cthe Israelis,\u201d you are mistaken. They are the match, but who sets the fires? Is that the role that Tony Blair, Jonathan Powell, Sir Richard Dearlove, Sir Peter Mandelson and others from the City Of London are playing in Washington right now? Are we watching a reprise of London\u2019s role in starting the Iraq war, in particular giving George Bush his infamous sixteen words\u2014\u201cThe British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa\u201d\u2014when there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Is this similar to the role that the British Ministry of Defense, through its Project Alchemy, has played in the attacks deep into Russian territory that also threaten nuclear war? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel has nuclear and thermonuclear weapons, and has had them for over 60 years. That ugly, open secret is why nations like Iran, whatever you may choose to think of their policies, have acted as they have. If the Iranian sites were in fact not destroyed, the danger is that some crazy from the bowels of the Pentagon will now propose, \u201cThe only \u2018dead certain\u2019 way forward is to use \u2018tactical\u2019 nuclear weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop and think about what the following report from Newsweek,<\/em> June 20, actually means. \u201cThe Trump administration has not taken anything \u2018off the table,\u2019 including the use of tactical nuclear weapons, if it decides to take military action against the underground Iranian nuclear facility at Fordow, Fox News reported, citing a White House official.\u201d In response to these reports, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the only responsible thing: \u201cThere have been a lot of speculations. This would be a catastrophic development, but there are so many speculations that in fact, it\u2019s impossible to comment on them.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what you are told, by the White House, by the Pentagon, or anyone else, there is no such thing as the use of one \u201ctactical\u201d nuclear weapon.<\/em> In the words of Annie Jacobsen, author of Nuclear War: A Scenario<\/em>, \u201cIf nuclear war begins, it doesn\u2019t end until there is a nuclear holocaust. And it happens so fast. There is no quickly going to your secret bunker.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does Russia do, if America, or Israel, deploys the first nuclear bomb used since Hiroshima and Nagasaki 80 years ago? Last week, America\u2019s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, wrote to President Trump, \u201cNo president in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let this be clear: President Truman dropping the atomic bomb in 1945 was not<\/em> essential to ending the war. Dropping the bomb on an already surrendering Japan was necessary to begin the next<\/em> world war, planned by Britain\u2019s Winston Churchill one month after Franklin Roosevelt died in April 1945. In May, Churchill proposed \u201cOperation Unthinkable,\u201d a plan to immediately nuke the Soviet Union with American-made bombs, to \u201cimpose the will of the United States and the British Empire,\u201d in the plan\u2019s actual words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of nuclear weapons has always been wrong, has never been necessary, and is never other than a tool of imperial force. We, the people of the United States, and we, the people of the world, must stop the madness of governments and fanatics. The nations of the Global Majority, and especially the BRICS nations, of which Iran is a member, must have their voices heard. Nations should not be brought to the conclusion that the only way to retain and defend their sovereignty is to build nuclear weapons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Southwest Asia, we need a consortium of regional countries, working with the United States, Russia and China, to create a nuclear weapons-free zone–which has to include Israel joining the IAEA and signing the Non-Proliferation Treaty, as Iran did. A crash program for the peaceful use of nuclear power as an energy source, for water desalination and other purposes, needs to involve all nations in the region. A New Security and Development Architecture, based on diplomacy, not assassinations and war, must result from actions taken in the next hours and days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The period ahead is more dangerous than the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Now is the time to act. Circulate this message. Discuss it in every way possible. Get on the phone to Congress and go to their offices. Read and circulate the Ten Principles for A New Security and Development Architecture proposed by Helga Zepp-LaRouche.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is up to the people to save themselves, and civilization itself, by speaking out and acting up. The world needs to hear from free citizens that say, \u201cNo to assassinations, regime changes, and thermonuclear war!\u201d It is time, now, to change our world, before there is no world left to change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
