US Senator Bernie Sanders, responding to a clip of President Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations regarding Iran, has urged Congress to end “Trump’s war in Iran”.

Sanders says Trump’s threat to “annihilate” Iran is a “war crime”.

“That is barbarism. And it is something the United States must never be associated with.”

Sanders says in his post, “Let’s be clear: Trump’s war in Iran is illegal and unconstitutional. Congress must end it NOW.”
