Krishnamoorthi Condemns Deadly Iranian Attack, Warns Iran Against Further Attacks, and Calls for Diplomacy to End Trump’s Illegal War

July 18, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) released the following statement after two American service members were killed in an Iranian attack: “The deaths of two American service members in today’s Iranian attack are a tragic reminder of the escalating human cost of this illegal war of choice waged by Donald Trump. Iran must immediately cease its attacks against Americans and abandon any threats against civilians, or face even greater international isolation and military consequences. The conflict is now spiraling, and we cannot allow it to become another forever war that costs more American lives abroad and drives up prices here at home. President Trump must work with our friends, partners, and allies to pursue a real diplomatic path to end the war he recklessly started.”
