The speaker passionately argues against war with Iran, asserting that such a path is immoral, unethical, and un-American. Drawing on over 20 years of military service, he explains that the U.S. military exists to defend the nation, not to coerce or dominate other countries. He criticizes political figures, particularly Republican senators like Tom Cotton, for pushing narratives that may serve foreign interests over American ones and for using fear-mongering to justify military action.

He acknowledges real threats in the world but believes that some use pro-American rhetoric to justify unjust wars rooted in power and control, rather than true national defense. He supports America-first policies in terms of protecting national interests, but stresses the importance of alliances, diplomacy, and avoiding permanent enemies or entangling commitments. He argues that demands for Iran to surrender its defensive capabilities without compromise make war inevitable and undermine diplomatic progress, like the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA), which he views as a better alternative than current tensions.

Ultimately, he warns that the push for war not only harms America’s global reputation and moral standing but also violates both the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act, which require congressional approval for acts of war.
