Bernie Sanders Condemns Netanyahu's War on Iran and Urges U.S. Non-Involvement

Published | Video Starts at 01:20

And the main point that I want to make today is that it is absolutely imperative that the United States not be dragged into this war. Let me say a word about how this war began. On Thursday, Netanyahu launched an illegal and unilateral surprise attack on Iran, bombing targets across the country and killing hundreds of people. Iran has responded with attacks of its own which have killed dozens of people in Israel. Whatever you may think of the corrupt and authoritarian Iranian regime, Israel's attack clearly violated international law and and the United Nations Charter. (01:20–01:31)
