GRAY Statement on IRAN WAR Powers Resolution

March 5, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC — Following today’s vote on the Iran War Powers Resolution, Congressman Adam Gray (CA-13) released the following statement: “For decades, the regime in Iran has oppressed its own people and funded terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah that have destabilized the Middle East and threatened our allies. The world is safer without leadership that fuels violence and repression. At the same time, the Constitution is clear. Congress carries the solemn responsibility to declare war. The President must present a clear strategy and defined objectives to the American people through Congress before the United States is drawn further into another conflict in the region. We cannot repeat the mistakes of past Middle East interventions by placing American service members in harm’s way without a coherent plan and a defined end state. That is why I voted in support of the War Powers resolution that was brought to the floor today. As events continue to unfold, my focus remains on the safety of our troops and their families, and on protecting American interests at home and abroad.” ###
