Bernie Sanders: ‘We Are Being Lied To Again’ — Targets Trump Over Iran War

Speaking at a major “No Kings” rally in Minnesota, Senator Bernie Sanders delivered a sharp critique of U.S. foreign policy, drawing parallels between past and present conflicts while directly targeting former campaign promises made by Donald Trump. Addressing the crowd, Sanders argued that Americans have historically been misled about major wars, referencing Vietnam and Iraq before turning to the current conflict with Iran. He suggested that similar patterns are repeating, warning that the public is once again not being told the full truth about military involvement. The Vermont senator also pointed to Trump’s previous campaign messaging, where he positioned himself as a candidate opposed to prolonged overseas conflicts and pledged to avoid what he described as “forever wars.” Sanders claimed those commitments have not held up, accusing the administration of moving in the opposite direction as tensions escalate in the Middle East. The remarks come amid a wave of nationwide protests, with thousands of demonstrations across the United States focused on issues including the Iran conflict, immigration enforcement, and government spending priorities. For many demonstrators, the concern is not just about foreign policy decisions, but also about how resources are allocated—whether funds should be directed toward international conflicts or domestic infrastructure and economic stability. As the debate intensifies, reactions remain divided, with supporters echoing Sanders’ concerns over transparency and priorities, while critics argue that such comparisons oversimplify complex geopolitical realities.
