Crow on Six Months of Iran War

August 28, 2026 Press Release AURORA —Congressman
Jason Crow (D-CO), a combat veteran and member of the House Armed Services
Committee and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the
following statement on the six-month mark of President Trump’s reckless and
illegal war with Iran: “Six months
ago, Donald Trump launched a reckless war of choice with Iran, with no plan, no
strategy, and no endgame. Six months later, 18 servicemembers are dead,
hundreds more are wounded, and American taxpayers have spent billions of
dollars on a war that has not made them safer and that has only raised their
prices at home. “Trump
campaigned on ending wars in the Middle East. As someone who fought in Iraq and
Afghanistan as a paratrooper and Army Ranger, I shared this goal. But since
taking office, the President has done the exact opposite of what he campaigned
on. He started new conflicts abroad. Now Coloradans and the American people
have paid the price. “Working
families can’t afford gas, groceries, and housing. The Iran war has raised
prices. We have to stop the madness and end the endless cycle of conflict. Back
home, I’ve heard loud and clear from Coloradans that they don’t want their tax
dollars going toward more military adventurism in the Middle East.” Crow has
repeatedly condemned Trump’s reckless war with Iran. His War Powers Resolution to
disapprove of the war recently
passed the U.S. House. Crow continues to lead legislation to prohibit
federal funding for the war, and he recently demanded that the Trump
Administration reveal
the full, true cost of this war on the American people. As someone from a working
class family who served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Crow has
seen firsthand the toll forever wars have cost servicemembers and hardworking
Americans. ### Issues : National Security
