Thanks to Robert Naiman for pointing out this article from Trita
Parsi:<br class="">

It opens well:<br class="">
<blockquote class="">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class="">
Something extraordinary has happened in Washington. President
Donald Trump has made it clear, in no uncertain terms and with no
effort to disguise his duplicity, that he will claim that Tehran
is cheating on the nuclear deal by October—the facts be damned. In
short, the fix is in. Trump will refuse to accept that Iran is in
compliance and thereby set the stage for a military confrontation.
His advisors have even been kind enough to explain how they will
go about this. Rarely has a sinister plan to destroy an arms
control agreement and pave the way for war been so openly
telegraphed.<br class="">
</blockquote>
and closes optimistically (I could wish to be as confident as this):<br class="">
<blockquote class="">[...]
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><p class="">by revealing his hand, Trump has displayed his duplicity for
all to see. That includes the American public, whose anti-war
sentiments remain strong and are a key reason they supported the
nuclear deal in the first place.</p><p class="">The American public knows the Iraq playbook quite well. Trump’s
own supporters remain enraged by the disastrous war with Iraq.
They know how they got played. It’s difficult to imagine why
they would allow themselves to get played again by a president
who has left little doubt about his intent to deceive.<br class="">

Anyway I think this could be a good basis for next Saturday's
demonstration flyer, unless someone has a better idea.<br class=""><p class=""><br class="">
