Some good news: the New Jersey Libertarian Party issued the following press release. (The bad news, Libertarian Parties are probably even less influential than they were 20 years ago.)

New Jersey Libertarian Party Condemns US Bombing of Iran
On June 21, 2025 President Trump announced that the United States bombed three nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. This escalation of U.S. involvement in this conflict was neither necessary nor beneficial. It will lead to further U.S. involvement, further casualties and domestic hardships.
The New Jersey Libertarian Party condemns this act and our Commander-in-Chief for authorizing it. Instead of prioritizing peace, liberty, and the welfare of the American people, President Trump has thrust us into another bloody, costly, and pointless war.
During the 2024 election cycle we were promised peace. We were told that this new regime would be guided by a policy of non-intervention and domestic enrichment. Yet, 6 months later we are presented with military destabilization and global warfare. Millions of Americans voted in support of a peaceful future. One wherein the United States focused on preserving the liberties of its people. Instead, President Trump chose to fire the opening salvo in another pointless conflict.
U.S. foreign policy has become dangerous, not only to peace abroad, but to the safety and security of the American people. President Trump, like his predecessors, has used the imagined threat of “weapons of mass destruction” to scare us into compliance. To lead us like the Pied Piper into economic quagmires and mass graves. We cannot continue to impoverish ourselves to turn countries into craters. We cannot continue to send young men and women to fight for the glory and enrichment of the elite, while their loved ones struggle to afford ballooning grocery bills. We cannot continue to champion ourselves as the leader of the free world while innocent civilians lose everything to modern American imperialism.
We call for an immediate end to all acts of aggression against the Iranian people. The United States does not belong in the Middle East and we ought not involve ourselves in any foreign war. We call on the United States congress to reclaim their war declaration authority from executive overreach. Finally, we call on the American people to join us in condemning state violence in all of its forms.
In Liberty,
The New Jersey Libertarian Party
