America Strikes Iran Illegally: Causing Death Abroad & Chaos at Home

President Trump and Cabinet Members Addressing the Nation Yesterday on American Strikes in Iran

(NEW YORK, NY) — The United States government confirmed at around 6 PM Eastern Time that America had struck 3 Iranian Nuclear Facilities in order to assist in the untempered war between Israel and Iran, after Israel similarly struck Iran illegally about two weeks ago. America has attacked the Iranian state in what some are calling a "gross violation of Iranian sovereignty", with figures such as the United Nations Secretary General condemning the attacks, while American allies give largely monotone calls for peace and stability in the region (largely in line with what State Department officials have been calling for as well).

Figures within America have also called for the impeachment and removal of President Trump from office, which if an impeachment were to pass the House of Representatives, would be the third formal attempt to charge and remove President Trump from office, with the first two impeachments happening in Mr. Trump's first term. One after Mr. Trump's alleged quid-pro-quo agreement with President Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine, and the second coming after Mr. Trump's alleged provocation of insurrection at the Capital on Jan. 6th, 2021. However, Impeachment is unlikely to pass through the House, as Republicans control it with a remarkably thin majority.

Abroad, the Iranian parliament has voted to support a blockade of the strait of Hormuz, which is a major trade area that largely supplies America and Europe with oil from the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz being closed down will likely cause large shocks in the price of oil and gas in America and other Western nations, this will likely cause a shock to many American consumers who are particularly reliant on gas to fuel vehicles which are, on average, larger than cars that European consumers buy.

The situation in the Middle East formerly between Israel and Gaza has now been escalated to a much larger, more deadly, and more dangerous conflict.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article implied that the Iranian parliament had the power to close the strait of Hormuz without approval from the executive branch of the Iranian government. Iran has not, as of now, taken any executive action to close the strait of Hormuz. (Correction published June 24, 2025)
