Unmasking the Push for War: Israel’s Agenda, American Costs, and the Collapse of Diplomacy

On June 20, 2025 By MPAC

As the same war lobby that led the United States into Iraq re-emerges—recycling its playbook to push for conflict with Iran—America once again stands at the edge of a costly and catastrophic war. This time, the aggression is masked as a matter of “Israel’s security,” but in reality, it serves a dangerous agenda of expansionism and domination over sovereign nations and peoples. Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft joined MPAC President Salam Al-Marayati for a critical conversation about Israel’s War with Iran: what’s at stake, who is driving it, and how we can resist another disastrous conflict. ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.

Should the U.S. go to war with Iran?

On June 28, 2019 By MPAC

The Trump administration’s desire to go to war with Iran circumvents constitutional authority, and threatens the United States’ aspiration as a harbinger of global peace and security. As Americans, we should be outraged by the actions of the Trump Administration. Hear from MPAC co-founder and President, Salam Al-Marayati, on why a war with Iran will not make our world safer. It will produce the opposite, perhaps even trigger a third world war. Take action - tell your member of Congress that a decision to go to war should come from Congress, and not rest solely on the President: mpac.org/noiranwar #NoWarWithIran
