Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on U.S. Bombing of Iran

June 21, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON -- Rep. Omar issued the following statement on the U.S. bombing of Iran: “The strikes on Iran, ordered by President Trump and executed without congressional authorization, mark a dangerous and reckless escalation of an already volatile conflict in the Middle East.

“Military strikes will not bring peace. They will only provoke more violence, destabilize the region, and endanger U.S. troops and civilians. We’ve seen what happens when diplomacy is sidelined in favor of bombs. It only brings more death and destruction.

“Congress must vote immediately on Rep. Thomas Massie and Sen. Tim Kaine’s War Powers resolutions when we return to session. The American people are tired of endless war. We need to end this madness before more lives are lost.” ### Issues : Foreign Policy
