Gillibrand Statement On U.S. And Israeli Strikes On Iran

Feb 28, 2026
Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee, released the following statement on U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran:
“I came to Congress in opposition to endless wars. Trump’s actions today risk exactly that again.
“Congress should return to session immediately to vote on a war powers resolution.
“The president lacks the constitutional authority – and in my opinion, the temperament and judgment – to act in such a reckless fashion.
“I pray for the safety and well-being of our brave service members and American families in the region.
“America voted for lower costs, not forever wars.”
