Wyden Statement on Israel and Iran

Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., released the following statement in response to Israel’s strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iranian retaliation:
“Iran’s nuclear ambitions are a threat to peace and stability and I support Israel’s right to defend itself from these threats. I call on the Trump administration to commit to serious diplomatic efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear program, which is the best path to durable peace and security in the region. Americans are clear they do not want U.S. troops to be dragged into another war in the Middle East.”
