Bernie Sanders held a rally Sunday at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth. The U.S. Senator from Vermont has been touring the country as part of his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour.
Sanders also made stops in Amarillo and McAllen, traveling with U.S. Representative Greg Casar and former U.S. Rep Beto O'Rourke.
"Fort Worth, Donald Trump promised peace and stability," Casar, a Democrat representing Central Texas, said. "He has no right to plunge us into another endless war."
"Trump's own director of national intelligence told Congress the intelligence community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon," Sanders said.
Tulsi Gabbard made the statement during testimony to Congress in March. Last week, she posted on X, writing, "The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly."
Sanders said wars in Iraq and Afghanistan "destabilized" the region. He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is "starving Palestinian children in Gaza" and "started this war with an unprovoked attack against Iran."
"We should be spending our money and manpower rebuilding America, not going into a war against Iran," Sanders said.
Outside, people lining up for the rally said Donald Trump was "bullying the world" with the airstrikes.
"It's horrible, nobody wants this," one said.
"My dad gave his life for this country in Vietnam," another said. "This has really made me angry."
A poll by YouGov conducted earlier this month showed 16% of respondents supported the U.S. military getting involved in Iran with 60% opposing military action and 24% saying they were not sure.
Among people who said they voted for Donald Trump last year, 53% opposed military intervention, 19% supported intervention and 28% were not sure. For those who voted for Kamala Harris, 71% opposed military action, 10% supported action and 24% were not sure.
