March 10, 2026 / NNOMY Steering Committee / The National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (NNOMY) - The National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (NNOMY) affirms its unequivocal opposition to the current war of the U.S. Trump Administration against the Republic of Iran. We hold that this conflict is illegal under international law and fails to meet the moral and ethical criteria established in just war theory, including just cause, legitimate authority, proportionality, and the exhaustion of non‑violent alternatives.

As an organization committed to protecting young people from the harms of militarism, we reject the notion that this war serves a lawful or justifiable purpose. Instead, it deepens cycles of violence, diverts essential resources from human needs, and exposes youth—both domestically and abroad—to preventable trauma and exploitation.

NNOMY calls for an immediate end to hostilities, renewed investment in diplomacy, and a national re-commitment to peaceful conflict resolution. We urge communities, educators, and policymakers to stand with us in resisting the normalization of war and the militarization of our society.
